Well done Bhaveen, you are largely up to date with the research and planning work. You do still have a couple things outstanding e.g. the sketches and focus group audio.

The Main Article

This is my Main Article for My Music Magazine. I have decided to us a Question and Answer(Q&A)  format to keep the article informal for my target audience as they are of a young age and  do not speak in a sophisticated manor this is the reason that i have not decided to use prose.

Analysis of Contents Page

The image above is of kerrang magazine the magazine has many images that are of similar dimensions except for one in the top left hand side. This takes up a space equivalent to any four which are around it, this suggests that the image is linked to a main article or an important feature to the magazine looking at the main image you can tell that it is a rock magazine because of the clothes that the artist is wearing and the tattoos that he has on you can tell that the artist is rebellious because of the slightly arrogant pose that he is doing, i can tell that he is arrogant because he has two fingers up and the tilt of his head suggests he is quite proud 
if you look towards the top right corner you will see that there is a website address, this suggests that the audience for kerrang are users of the Internet, however there is no other form of contact information which could suggest that they are aimed at a slightly older audience between 20 and 30 

VIBe Magazine Front page Analysis

This is the front cover of vibe magazine. The focal point of the front cover is 50cent who is wearing a classy looking suit which reflects the hip hop culture. The front page looks quite bold and simple this which reiterates the fact that this is a hip hop magazine.

the masthead for the magazine front cover is in red, red usually symbolises hip hop the fact that the colour of the text is bold and has no gradient connotes that the magazine is for hip hop audiences.

I think that the magazine is aimed at a male audience because the magazines theme is that of scareface this is called an inter textual reference to the movie which a quite masculine. The use of colour also emphasises the fact that this magazine is aimed at the male audience.

The main focal point 50cent is not wearing much jewellery except for a large ring, the small amounts of jewellery suggests that he not interested in showing how much wealth he has through his jewellery but through his clothes. The genre is unlike R&B as it does not base the genre on wealth but on sophistication and success.

SOURCE Magazines Front page Analysis

This is the front cover of the Magazine “The Source” I can see that the magazine is aimed at the younger  audiences as the text is bold and informal I can tell that the text is informal as it says “GANGSTA” instead of gangster this is called colloquialism. I can also tell that it is a hip hop magazine because all the text is written in upper case to emphasise the loudness of hip hop. I feel that this magazine is aimed at male audiences aged between 16 and 24. P.Diddy is the hip hop star on the front cover of the magazine, he is wearing a New York Yankees cap symbolising the hip hop culture. The brand identity of the magazine is white and red suggesting that it is masculine. He also has a gold watch indicating that he is wealthy this also emphasise the fact that it is a hip hop magazine.

This magazines masthead is written in red suggesting that the magazine is aimed at people interested in hip hop as red is associated with Hip Hop.

The name of the magazine is SOURCE this puts forward the point that the magazine is the source to all your hip hop needs and you do not need to look much further to find information on the latest of music artists and albums.

The Preliminary Task

This is my front cover for my Preliminary Task. to create the front cover I used adobe Photoshop. I used Photoshop because I am quite confident when using the programme.  I have used colours that represent my School such as purple and white. I also decided to use a variety of vibrant colours such as Orange, Purple, Red and Blue to show that my school is multicultural and very welcoming.

The Magazine Front cover consists of a Masthead, a Puff, Sell Lines and a Barcode, most of these Conventions are essential when creating a Magazine.

This is my contents Page that I made for my preliminary task. I think that it worked out well as I have kept a continuous theme throughout due to the fact that I have used the same colour schemes throughout the magazine which help to give a sense of sophistication and  consistency. I also think that the alterations that I have made to the images are very tidy as I have had previous experience with PhotoShop. i think that all my content in the magazine link to each other and has a flow between them
