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.
