MUSIC MAGAZINE

DEMOGRAPHICS

Gender - The gender for my magazine would be for both males and females.

Age – The age would be between the age of 16 – 30.

Ethnicity – The majority of readers would come from the afro-Caribbean ethnicity as stereotypically afro – Caribbean people read R&B magazines.

Social Class – D/E – The social class is most likely to be E as they are more likely to be still in education or have temporary jobs, or they are just starting to have a career.

GENRE OF MUSIC MAGAZINE

Because stereotypically my music magazine genre was R&B and my most of my audience were afro-Caribbean they were more attracted as they have an interest in the genre of R&B.

IMAGES USED TO ATTRACT TARGET AUDIENCE

I used my images in the way that they would be noticeable, I made them so that they were large and caught the readers attention. I requested that my model wear something that was ‘Hip’ and ‘Swag’ that made them stereotypically look like an R&B celebrity. Stereotypically R&B magazines use close-up shots of their models to make the magazine seem more personally and inviting.

IDEAS FOR MODELAs my music magazine is a R&B one, I researched the type of clothing that R&B artists wear. I found that stereotypically R&B wear less clothing to symbolise sexuality. So for my model I requested that she wear a crop top, shorts and a checked top; however I first asked my model if she would be comfortable wearing the required clothing and fortunately she agreed.

COVER LINES & DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

I have used cover lines that are to do with R&B genre and to do with R&B artist and also the celebrity world. I have used cover lines that would interest my audience using stereotypical cover lines.

I used the 1st and 3rd person to personally attract the audience by involving them by direction information towards them.

MARKETING CAMPAIGN TO ATTRACT AUDIENCEFor marketing I would use the ideas from Vibe as they are a R&B magazine. I think I would advertise them on popular websites e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. I would also advertise the in other popular magazines to interest other audiences. To advertise my magazine to attract my audience I would use large billboards so that people notice the magazine. Television can also be a useful for advertisement as many people watch television and will notice the advert.
