In todays lesson I looked at the different types of audience the media will consider when creating or promoting their work.  I looked at the front cover of the 'Q' magazine and we were asked to fill in a sheet which asks questions about the audience of the magazine. i concluded that the magazine promotes music to do with rock and indie. 

I was then put into groups of four and was asked to create a music magazine. In my group of four we decided to create a magazine amid at female teenagers who enjoyed listening to hip hop and RNB. After brainstorming for the name of the magazine we decided to use to call it 'SWITCH'. We decided that this name suited the magazine because it suited the genre of hip hop and RNB. we then who and how we will make the layout of the magazine and also who will be on the front cover of the magazine.

 

During today's lesson we looked at different types of music  magazines and also the different types of target audiences. Then we discussed the different ways target audiences can be grouped by such as: age,  gender, lifestyle, social grouping, format, genre 'taste', and nationality. W were then given one music magazine cover and we had to discuss the kind of people that would be its target audience.

Then we got into groups and discussed how our music magazine was going to be. We decided that our music genre was going to be hip hop/RNB. The masthead of the magazine is going to be called 'Switch'.   We also decided that out magazine was going to be published monthly.  The target audience of our magazine is going to be teenage females. We decided that our font colour was going to be hot pink and the background was going to be white.

Music Cover

Today I looked at different types of music magazine covers. We looked at 0 different layouts which could give us an idea of what type of person would buy it. We also analysed what audience buys a particular magazine depending on age, gender, life style, social grouping, nationality,format fans and genre 'taste'. We then looked at cover terminolgy.We then got into groups and had to look at a magazine cover and guess what the target audience is. We found out magazine publishers work hard to create a notion of their 'ideal reader' in order to sell this to advertisers.

Then we got into groups and had to come up with a magazine name and we decided to call it Switch. The genre will be Hip Hop/R n B. The target audience will be for  female teenagers and it would be published every month.

magazine front cover

In today's lesson we were looking at how magazines target their audiences. We found out that magazines target at a variety range of audiences, depending on the age limit or the gender, the social grouping and many others.

We were then given a magazine front cover to look at. The magazine i looked at was called 'Q' Oasis. I had to come to some conclusions of what kind of target audience the magazine were aiming at including the different type of features they have.

Our brief is to produce a new music magazine front cover. We decided that our genre of the magazine will be based on hip hop and R n B. We then looked at different titles for our magazine and then came up with the name 'Switch'. This was because the word relates to the genre of our magazine, as both go together very well.

We also decided that the our magazine will be on a monthly basis, becuase the date of the magazine also effects the front cover of the magazine. When we analyzed the target audience from the different type of magazines we concluded that our magazine will be targetted at female teenagers, as we see that most Hip Hop, R n B magazines are mostly targetted at male teenagers, so it would be nice to have a magzine that also aimed at female teenagers.

The color of the title will be in black and yellow because of the genre. When the readers think about Hip Hop, R n B to many they think that its something thats cool, therefore the location of our magazine will be on the streets.
