Mood board

 

 

This mood board has all the things that appeal to my target audience. I know these things will appeal to my target audience because during my planning and research stage I had a lot of research and information about my target audience such as the ways they socialise and what is within their genre/culture.And I found that they mostly socialise through Facebook and BBM, but most of them would own social networking sites suchs as Twitter, Tumblr & YouTube.

I also found that my target audience love wearing brands such as Vans, Converse, Nike and Addidas these are their main brands, wearing brands within their friends is the most important thing to them as they like looking good. Most people within the hip-hop/rnb dance genre would wear snap-backs (cap) boys would usually wear this prop.Most of the boys own a psp, xbox or playstation, whereas nearly all of the girls and boys would own a Blackberry or an Iphone.I choose to use the colour scheme red and black as I think its the best colour that suits this genre.his colour also appeals to both girls and boys so it would attract both genders.

Audience Research

 

Here is evidence on a questionaireI did over BBM and whatsapp in order to find out what it is people wanted to see on a music magazine, i can now input the ideas towards my magazine.

From this research I found out what my target audience would like to see on a music magazine, with this information I am now have a brief idea of what my music magazine will include however I have made my own judgement concerning the colour schemes and I have chosen red and black although they are heavy and dark colours I am going to manipulate lighting and add an extra neutral font colour in order to adjust it to appeal to my target audience. My music magazine will also include lots of images, interviews and gossip columns regarding A the list celebrities who are the main focus in the media right now.  I am currently in the process of deciding what the magazine will be called.
