Finished front cover and contents pages of my music magazine

Development of Photographs

These are the photographs I have taken for my magazine and have edited them in order to make them have a more country feel and to make them stand out more, in comparison to how they looked before. This was done to entice the audience and appear more interesting.

Research into country music magazines

Changing my magazine

I have decided to change the genre of my magazine from R n B to country, because I believe I would be able to produce a more interesting and unique magazine as country music is niche market in comparison to pop, rock and R n B. I will now start to research into this genre and develop some ideas.

Working Ideas

My target audience for my music magazine would range from 15-25 and would appeal to both genders. The reason my target audience would consider buying the magazine is because there will be iconic R n B artists on the front following music keywords, statements and interest of R n B celebrities and the music genre.

 For my music magazine a typical member of my audience would listen to and be interested in RnB music, therefore would know the weekly top 40 songs of today. The gender would attribute to both male and females because there is a wide of types of artists and songs which can relate to the audience in the daily lives. This contrasts with the mood R n B sets, as it is rhythmical and emotional and  relates to each individual who listen to it. The fashion represented alongside the style of R n B for and audience member is quirky and original, it suggest your own individual type of style conveying the idea that you are your own person. however it still uses R n B artists as iconic fashion figures.
The name of my magazine of my magazine is called FUSION because R n B originally, is known as rhythm and blues. Therefore, the reason its called this particular magazine is because it forms two different sounds of  accompaniment coming together assembling a combination of the both by fusing them together. it shows the difference as rhythm is more to do with bass, beats and dancing type of music whereas blues is more emotional, soulful and jazzy.

My brand identity would be used to show contrast in colours. The distinction between the colours start with dark, grimy colours and props, and change dramatically to a use of bright colours in fashion and style.
If my brand was a person i would consider it to be Rihanna or Beyonce because they portray the certain type of styles and music.
