Planning For My Magazine:
Target Audience:
Planning:
The target audience I will be aiming my magazine will be will be a wide audience of both teenagers and young adult and both female and male. The reason for this is because the genre of music I am doing is mainly focused at teenagers and young adults. Also it is a unisex genre as it has a mix of performers and is aimed at both sexes. A famous R&B singer that is aimed at both genders and teenagers and males would be “Rihanna”.
The music genre I am focusing on for my Magazine will be R&B. The reason I choose this genre as my magazines influence is because it is the music I prefer to listen to and have more of a knowledge and understanding of. R&B is worldwide music and has a wide audience; there are main famous singers and rappers. E.g. Trey Songz, 50 cent, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Drake. These artists are some of the top in the industry at the moment and are very famous. The stereotype of a typical R&B singer/rapper would be for females: very attractive/ sexy, great figure, seen as a “BAD BITCH”, not a role model for behaviour but role model for looks. A stereotype for male would be hot and great body and abs and a “BAD BOY”. A stereotype for both female and male are that R&B and artist tend to be mainly black. The music also tends to contain a lot of bad language and sexual lyrics. However it is a famous genre worldwide and has a large audience.
The Image and dress sense of the an R&B singer or rappers influences the audience that follows them, as they may want to be like them or the R&B singers and rappers may be there role models and they inspire to be like them. Female R&B singers tend to dress very skimpy to show off their great figures/bodies, they also dress attractive to get male attention, E.g. Rihanna and Nicki Minaj. So girls may follow there fashion sense and dress in the latest clothes and skimpy clothes. Also they may follow the image of “Bad Bitch” or “Drama Queen”. Whereas male artists tend to go the gym to get great bodies, wear designer and are all about the bling, E.g. Trey Songz and Lil Wayne So boys may follow there fashion by going to the gym to get bodies like the artists, wearing the top clothes and wearing a lot of bling, also they may follow the image of “Bad Boy”.
The behaviour of an R&B singer will influence the audience that follows them as an R&B singer/rapper maybe have a bad attitude or be rude. Which fans may follow, also the interests of the audience may be like R&B singers/rappers they may like to dance, or have tattoos or go out drinking. As R&B singers/rappers tend to have bad attitudes and many enjoy dancing.
Magazines Title Ideas:
Fame - the reason for this is because it relates to all famous singers not just R&B, however the magazine is for famous R&B singers/rappers who are already well know and got a wide fan base.
Queens & Kings - the reason for this name is because it relates to the view of R&B singers/rappers being holy and having a wide fan base and having the bad attitude because they are seen as Queens & Kings so can act like this and still have respect and have a wide audience.
Beat- the reason for this is because it relates the R&B music and the beat of a song.
Front Cover:
My front cover will contain a main image of a artist for the genre R&B, which my double spread/ main story will be about. I am deciding whether to use a female or male model for my main image, but I am going to use the R&B look of the sex appeal and the bad attitude look.
The text on my front cover will be text that is relevant to the double spread, the stories on the content page and the genre of the magazine E.g.
-Top 20 R&B songs of the week.
-Interview with new famous R&B artist.
-Win a trip to this concert and stay the night.
-Free posters inside.
good planning you did include the necessaries that is the targeted age group and gender and the music genre is a good one and matches both males and females.
