As part of my research, I analyzed the cover of an issue of Vibe magazine. I chose to analyse Vibe as it is somewhat like the magazine i hope to produce for my final piece. I analysed the magazine cover using InDesign. There isn't really much I can say about the analysis of the cover as if you take a closer look at it speaks for itself.
Before now I had no clear idea of which genre of music my magazine is going to follow however,finally, i've come to a descision which genre it will follow. I've decided to base my magazine on a mix of genres which have played a big role in my life. through out my childhood i was tucked under the wing of my aunt Sam - thank god she loves music - if it werent for her i wouldnt be as cultured with music as I am today. because of this i have been introduced to music from, Soul, New Jack Swing and R&B background, from looking at the music magazine market i have seen that there aren't any magazines which are dedicated to these three genres together, R&B has been addressed by many but accompanied with Hip-Hop. I have despise Hip-Hop and how people always assume i like R&B and Hip-Hop when I don't. If I were to make a music magazine which focuses on these three genres it would be completely unique and orignal as like I said they've not been covere, New Jack Swing in particular. Beacause of this my USP has now changed as I am going to create a magzine targeted at individuals like myself who have been fortunate enough to listen to songs created by talented musical geniuses such as Boys ΙΙ Men and Shai. My magazine will be aimed at those between the ages of 16-25, however this magazine could appeal to older generations too.
To inspire me in creating my magazine i created a mood board on which i've cut out various styles of lettering and article headings which are the kind of articles I may use in my mood board magazine. The cut outs on my board have also inspired me of the colours I may possibly use in my magazine ansd also what i would like for my Contents page to consist of.
