Music Magazine Planning
  1. Music Genre
    1. I have chosen my music magazine to focus on the increasingly popular fusion of hip-hop and pop music. I have chosen this because I feel there is a huge market and trend for this kind of music at the moment and it keeps on rising. It is my favourite genre of music.
    2. Target Audience
      1. My target audience will be males and females between the age of 16 and 21 with an edgy look. My audience would like artists like: Miley Cyrus, Tyler The Creator, Eminem and Kanye West. They would probably use this magazine as well as news on social media for their music fix. They probably wouldn’t buy any other magazines, but would have a keen interest in reading online articles about their favourite artists. The kind of people that would read this magazine would probably download occasional albums off online stores like iTunes but most of the time they would stream their music online through platforms such as YouTube and Spotify.
      2. USP
        1. My unique selling point will be that my magazine gives a free download from the main artist featured on the front every issue. I will include this on my cover.
        2. Rivals
          1. My main magazine rival would be the magazine ‘The Source’ another hip-hop magazine in the UK.
          2. Mission Statement
            1. My magazine is going to be a music magazine focusing mainly on Hip-Hop and Pop music with more of a mainstream approach. I believe that this will cater to people's new tastes in music, as recently pop music and hip-hop have come together. My magazine would feature artists such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, Miley Cyrus and Eminem. The style will be quite modern and will have a focus on new music being released will promote new music releases more than promoting artists gigs. It will also contain interviews with the artists focusing on their personalities and personal lives rather than technical aspects of their music. The general ethos would be giving the readers an insight into their favourite artists lives.
            2. Ideas for a masthead
              1. My first idea for a masthead is ‘FRESH’. I chose this because I believe the word fresh has connotations of something being new. My magazine will focus on new music. Below I have a few typefaces that I am considering using for my masthead.
                1. My second idea for a masthead is 'FUSION' I have chosen this as my magazine to focus on the fusion of different music genres.
                2. Front Cover Image
                  1. I am using Hope Barrell on the front cover of my magazine as a hip-hop/pop artist. They will be in the style of perhaps Miley Cyrus. She will be against a plain white wall but that won't be seen as my intention is for her face and hair to occupy most of the image.
                  2. Colour Scheme
                    1. The main colours used on the front cover of my magazine will be yellow, black and grey. I believe that these colours are modern making them appropriate for the theme of the magazine.
                    2. Price and Frequency
                      1. The price of my magazine will be set at £4.50 and will be produced monthly. The reason for the high price is because the magazine will be packed with stories and not many advertisements. The free gift of music downloads will persuade the readers into paying the higher price.
