Researched Magazine 1

I think this magazine is effective because the image of Kanye West overlaps the name of the magazine to make it stand out.

It is very effective the way the jumper that Kanye is wearing is the same colour as the name of the magazine and some of the font. I like how the colours are very bright and bold and stand out.

'The truth hurts KANYE WEST "I AM RAP"' is slanted which draws attention to it as this months issue's main focus is Kanye West.

The grey background makes the colours stand out against it. The magazine only uses the colours blue, pink and black which makes it look more professional and more carefull thought about.
Kanye West has a very serious expression to indicate that

Target Audience and Cover Story

The target audience for this music magazine is going to be young people interested in music as it will have 'current' bands/ artists. I will have it aimed at females as I want the design of the magazine to appear girly and it is easier than having a uni-sex magazine. I will target it at white girls in secondary education and above for young people aged between sixteen and mid twenties so I do not have to restrict the content too much. I will dress my younger sister up and make her look like an already successful artist. I am going to have a 'scandal' to make it an interesting read and give her an interview to set the record straight.

Cover Story 1: Rumours that she has been having an affair with a married celebrity.

Cover Story 2: She has been stalking a celebrity.

Cover Story 3: She got into a fight at the weekend with a celebrity.
