Introduction of the music magazine

Introduction of the music magazine

First of all before starting to design the music magazine we need to do so much research to find out more about the how the magazine is going to be introduced to the target audience.  These include analysing different pages that is included in the magazine for example the main cover, context page and the double page spread. This will allow me to get a brief idea of all the pages that I am going to include in the music magazine and also shows what kind of things needs to be on the pages, examples will be the type of main image, additional image and text including title subheading, strap lines etc.

Moreover we will be expected to do questionnaire on survey monkey that allows me to understand my target audience better about what type of genre music that they will be interested in and will allow me to plan the type of music magazine I need to design. Also need to fill up a proposal form to make sure that we are sure about the target audience, what type of genre is chosen and how the main picture is going to be taken, the magazine name and more.

Then we are allowed to move on to actually doing the design of the front cover, and getting all the pictures that needs to put on the pages including main and additional images.

A cover page with everything that will be included in the magazine for example main story, and other stories that will be shown to give a brief introduction of the magazines information that will be provided to the target audience.

Last of all we also need to design an audience profile page that will be included in the magazine, need to add images that will be suited for the target audience and make it into collage and also a text about the things that the audience will be interested in.

Target audience: (age range, interests)	My target audience that I am interested in doing is teenagers who are over about 14-17 young female.
Possible title ideas: (masthead / title block) What is your magazine going to be called?	The title that I was thinking to do as it is a hip hop magazine include ‘HH world’ stands for hip hop world
Main image: What will be the focal point of your front page, remember, your work	The main image that I will have is a young girl about 16 with a hip hop dance attitude, or with a hand gesture looking in another direction and not straight at the camera.
Main cover line: What will be the main story?	Hip hop sound for teenagers is better others
Additional key images: What other images will be on your front cover?	A group of hip hop singers, with different position and poses
Additional cover lines: Other features, stories or selling points which will be inside the magazine, these need to be audience appropriate.	Other singers names on the side if the audience don’t enjoy reading about the main singer, other features that will also be included inside the music magazine
Typography: (style, size, colour of copy) Think about the writing and the style of the writing on your front page.	I am going to do bold and bigger size font for the main title and others for example subheading will be smaller and fitted to the pages.

The setting will be in a room with a plan background with will allow me to crop the background easily, and lighting form the lights in the room. The costume will be linked to him hop with for example a t-shirt, skirt or jogging bottoms and jewellery that will be suitable for hip hop.
2 Page Spread: (what will be the main article in your magazine?) This will need to be the main story on your cover, what detail will be featured inside?	Promoting an new album that the singer has introduced to make the audience keep up to date with all the information about new songs coming up.
