MARKET RESEARCH



This presentation shows my extensive research into my chosen magazine genre. Two of the magazine companies chosen in this presentation are extremely similar to how i will market my magazine as well as the design of my magazine. Both of these magazines are known for a high use of red. The colour red is also highly associated with 'blood' and 'terror' and is well linked to the Hip-Hop genre and era. My magazine will therefore have a high use of red as it is then clear what kind of audience i am targeting ( those who listen or share an interest for the Hip-Hop and rap genre).

Both of these magazines have worked with Rap LEGENDS. This is clear because of the use of celebrity endorsement which is always used on every single issue released by these two companies. My model is also a rap artist and well known. This will be a good use of celebrity endorsement as my audience will feel a sense of 'safety' and 'reassurance' when purchasing and coming across my magazine as they're familiar with the artist. I will therefore be attracting my model's fans and many other potential customers (audiences).

QUESTIONNAIRE

With this information, I can create a magazine that is specific to my audience's needs and wants.

MUSIC MAGAZINE CONVENTIONS



This post shows the typical conventions used in a music magazine.
Conventions are used in order to help the audience identify what magazine genre the magazine is.
I have also given examples of conventions used in different magazine genres in order to highlight the differences.
Conventions also help a magazine to therefore benefit financially as theyre more likely to have increased sales if they're targetting their target audience properly.



I have used 'Prezi' in order to present the handful amount of conventions.

My Mood Board has been created using a site called 'gomoodboard.com'. I decided to use this website as its different, unique, quick and easy to use. It also allows my images to be presented in top quality. My Mood board consists of different music magazine genres. This helped me to decide which genre to choose for my own magazine. I can conclude that i have chosen Hip-Hop/R&B as my magazine genre as it's easy to identify and can be presented in various ways with the help of conventions and technical codes.
