The MASTHEAD is a big and bold title, this makes it more clear & readable, it tells the audience the company’s name

The background should refer to the genre of the magazine, in this case its hip hop, which is why Dizzee Rascal is used. The background is graffiti which usually represents rap and hip hop

Use of pull quote shows something different in the magazine, it shows what the character used in the front is saying, creates a very nice atmosphere, very friendly

Rule of Third/Left Third – is left to

be free for some of the most

important information in the

magazine, in this case a quote

The main cover lines should tell

that audience what the magazine

will include, one of the cover lines

should also explain the image, who

is it? And what's it about? In this

case its Dizzee Rascal

The main image is the most

attractive feature that is included

within the front cover, in a music

magazine it should someone or

something that is well known in the

music industry

The header says what in

the magazine which is the

same of the footer

Barcode/date is an essential element on the magazine because its used to sell the magazine and give its price, must be included in all magazine. Most of the time shown at the bottom

The use of flash is

something extra, to

catch the eye of the

audience

The footer says what is in the magazine which is

the same of the header

*Target audience Profile (possibly add

image)

The target audience would be young

urban audience, mainly teenagers who

are in to hip hop and rap.

Musical interests/favourite artists, etc.

The target audience would be

interested in typical hip hop/rap music

as the audience would be very urban,

this is shown through the graffiti

background. Dizzee Rascal is also a well

known music artists (genre hip hop)

Gender would be both female and male

but the use of the colours on the front

colour, red, black, white, etc. Portray a

masculine image.

Age would range from teenagers

possibly 15 to late 20’s so

15-27

I would believe that the social class of

the target audience would be low class

so its affordable for everyone, this is

also represented with the background of

the magazine

METHODS USED TO ATTRACT THIS

TARGET AUDIENCE ARE:

The main image which is a photo of Dizzee

Rascal who is well known in the music

industry would be a method to attract the

audience, this is important as this is the

main attraction in the front cover of the

magazine and it relates back to the genre

of the music magazine and audience.

Another method used would be the type of

colours used in the front cover, the colours

are mainly white, red, black, these are

dominate colours and catch the eye of the

audience. They are also used to make the

image and important text stand out so they

are readable

How much would the magazine cost?

The magazine would cost from £2 - £4, the

reason for this would be that the magazine

would be affordable for everyone including

lower class working people.

All magazines must include a

masthead to illustrate to the

audience the name of company

that has produced this

magazine. It must be clear, in

this case its bold and is just

slightly behind the image, the

font colour is white so it can

stand out

The header says what

in the magazine which

is the same of the

footer, it relates back

to music as this is the

genre of the magazine

Music magazines include

main images of a specific

singer or musician who is

well known in the music

world. In this case it’s Chris

Brown. The image is mainly

portrayed in the centre, this

images gives a bad boy look,

this represents that the

magazine is about hip hop

and rap

Barcode/date is an

essential element on

the magazine because

its used to sell the

magazine and give its

price, must be included

in all magazine. Most of

the time shown at the

bottom

The cover lines are bold

and outlined to attract

the audience, in this

case it’s the name of

the singer which anchors

the image to emphasise

what type of audience

the magazine is aimed

at. this is appropriate.

Use of pull quote shows

something different in the

magazine, it shows what the

character used in the front

is saying, it creates an

effect straight away, in this

case its sexy as the quote

says ‘Virgin’ which is

highlighted in red to

emphasise this

The footer says what is in the magazine which is the same of

the header, it relates back to music as this is the genre of the

magazine

*In all music magazines you would expect a masthead which is the main

title; this is normally the company name. The use of this is to allow the

audience to understand where this magazine is coming from and which

company it is produced by. It must be bold and very clear so it can stand

out because this is the most important information that the reader will

view, this means the colour and the font need to be very specific. The

masthead will always be placed at the top because when the magazines are

placed in the shop, it needs to be clear and eye catching, if it were at the

bottom it wouldn’t be very readable therefore it should be expected to be

at centred at the top. The font colour is white so it can stand out as the

background colour is black which is the complete opposite

The next characteristic that you would

expect in a music magazine would be a

main central image that would

dominate most of the frame. In this

case it’s a music artist that is well

known in the hip hop world which is

the genre of the VIBE (magazine).

Barcode/date is an essential

element on the magazine because

its used to sell the magazine and

give its price, must be included in

all magazine. Most of the time

shown at the bottom

Cover/seller lines are clear

and bold, the use of the

font and colour allow the

information to be very

readable and clear. The use

of seller lines tell the

reader what the magazine

would include. It sometimes

also tells what the main

image is about in case some

viewers don’t know; in this

case it would be ‘DRAKE’, It

must anchor the image

The header says what in the magazine

which is the same of the footer, it

relates back to music as this is the
