Results

From the results I found from my questionnaire, I found out that the most popular styles of music are R&B and Pop and these genre of music does effect peoples dress sense and social groups. Most people don’t really want to pay a lot for a music magazine ,the prices ranged from  70pence to £2. 50 and most of the people I asked to do my questionnaire said they  were more likely to get a music magazine  if a well-known artist is one the front cover .They would also like a music magazine to be  released every two weeks. The people i gave the questioninaire was 16/17 and this would be  my target audience as iv got my information i need from this age group

      This information  found, has helped me decide what way I’m going to do for my own music magazine, what genre to do and how to go about getting my target audiences. How to do my price range and not to make it all just about music but to make sue it has a little bit of gossip E.G interviews, fashion, music downloads charts.

       The image has to have some kind of twisted in to either pop or R&B i and using some kind of clothing that’s associated with the genre.

music double page spreads

 The double page shown here is simple; the main image is speed across to pages, there is also a header of pictures of Rihanna which would be very attractive to the target audience, as it shows a range of hair styles she has had.

The colour scheme is red, black and cream, the cream back ground suits the image as it makes everything stand out and applying to the eye and gives it a fresh feel it also gives it a more Indy look than pop because pop tends to use brighter colours, while this takes the colour lead from her hair and the style/mood from her flower garland.

The master head ‘ Rihanna exclusive interview’ is in red and black writing , the letters are not in bold they’re different to most master heads as they’ve got gaps inbetwen them  that fit in with the background. This also gives a lighter, stylised and more feminine feel to the page.

The text is small and black, not very easy to see therefore making it for a more serious musical audience as people just looking for would be more gossip would be more interested in shorter, more sensational stories.

The master head is hard to work out the “got the love” part of the leader is taken from the lyrics of her recent song. because some people would call it a background but I think its abit of both, ‘USA’ with the image in front of the master head it gives it a clear coniferdent message to the audience that the publisher is not scared of taking risks. It also reflects the strong personal of Florence welch.

The colour scheme is grey and black and some red this gives it a more of a Bold background as the focal point becomes is her hair and the flag.

The image is Florence Welch in a dominant and attractive doing a sexy pose in a short black outfit with black high heels on sitting on an American flag; this gives it a meaning to the master head of the USA  suggesting that as she is a British act tring to ‘break’ the American music masket. The image is just over a page big, making it to focal point of the double page spread and making Florence welch the clear focus of the article

The text is  yet again small  and black and is on the right hand side therefore making it in ‘Q’ Magazine is not aimed at a younger target audience. The text is also in Columns  so it look more formal.

music contents pages

 

The colour scheme is basically grey scale ( black ,grey, silver and white) Beyoncé is a well-known fashion icon by her wearing a grey dress and silvery grey shoes in makes the contents page look more stylistic.

The image is of Beyoncé on her back in a nice stylist outfit with her legs up in the air , as her image covers most of the content cover people get a sense of that she’s going to have some involvement in the magazine, bye using I high end celebrity like Beyoncé it gives the magazine I high end look and also by the photography  used to make her look this way she’s doesn’t look cheap .

The text is medium sized , the features and fashion are in different front to make them stand out so people have an idea of what the writing is underneath it’s also black so it tights in well with the colour scheme.

The master head ‘contents’ is broken up and is a different way of doing it as it makes you look at it to see what it says and it’s in big bold writing and makes in stand out from the back ground plus tights in with the colour scheme

 

The colour scheme is effective as its not to bright and not to dull , just right as you don’t want it to be better than the front cover. The main colours are black and white but have a tiny hint of colour with the red love heart that’s placed on his chest , This little bit of colour is eye catching and makes this page more animated  as it adds to the simple, masculine colour scheme.

The font varies in size and style this makes the contents page more engaging. The 'feature' banners and fashion stand out the most because of the different font, this hasthe effect of letting  you know what the small writing underneath is going to be about so it’s a quite way of info basically making the SELLINES more appealing to the eye.

The image, that image covers most of the page has Kayne West standing there looking mean while a woman’s arms is wrapped round his chest holding his heart, the reason Vibe uses a plain background is so their artists are the focal point of the page a This will alsi attract the reader’s attention as the news stand by having a high end celebrity on the cover, which makes the magazine look high end  and attracts a specific target audience.

The master head yet again in this ‘content’ page is broken up and in big bold black writing , it’s a different way of catching people's eyes and I think it a very clever but simple way of getting the audience's attention.
