Initial Planning for my Magazine

The genre of my Music magazine I will produce is HIP HOP. I have chosen this genre because it covers a larger audience and does not specify in any one type. I feel that I will be able to work on my own as well as in a group bearing in mind that my group members share the work load equally. My target audience for my music magazine is going to be UK residents. The age range will be from 12-25, the audience will be both male and female because of the fact that by doing so i am not limiting my audience potential and the popularity of the Music magazine to a certain gender.  I feel that the main focal point on my magazine front cover should be a variety of different images of people to show all the types of artist that are out there. I feel that the main influence I have had for my Magazine is from the two very popular music Magazines “NME” and “MOJO”. The reason these magazines influenced me was that they provide a range of different artists to suit a variety of different audiences and this is what I felt I wanted to do in my music magazine. To make my Magazine stand out and appeal to my audience I will have a lot of images surrounded by vibrant coloured texts and shapes to attract the audience’s attention. I will also use bold text as it is a Hip Hop Magazine Which is quite loud and expressive.
