Main Task: Unmanipulated Photos

I will not be using this image as the mise en scene is not correctly formatted as the image has a low key lighting and the image is not highly appealing.












This photo will be my double page spread image.












This photo will be on my contents page for fashion, the lightings good and the pose is a fair replica style of vogue.



















Ive chosen this photo to be my front cover because it's edgy, the background is very nice and the models and props represent an R&B/ Hip Hop edge.


















This photo will be on my contents page for gossip as it seems to be the 'new hottest' couple are spotted together about to head off to town?

Main Task: Profiling Your Audience

Base Reader



Tikarah, 18 has fortunately experienced the love and passion for music, her genre she feels she belongs to is R&B and Hip Hop. This young, fresh and firey genre has influenced Tikarah in varies ways for instance the way she dresses. In the following image you can see she is wearing a snap-back which all the young hip hop artists e.g Tyga, Chris Brown and Teyanna Taylor wear. Another identified influence would be the way she speaks, her body posture and the friends she chooses to appear with.

Tikarah takes part in music related activites such as talent shows in local areas which are created for the youth who have various talents that enjoys sharing their passion with others. She also attends concerts of artists from Kanye West to Beyonce an addition to listening to her music on her blackberry phone.

Whenever music is around you will find Tikarah right beside it as she's a devoted fan to R&B and Hip Hop. She loves to be unique but how she does that is to take bits away from her inspirational artists and then does the rest herself. Mainly Hip Hop has helped Tikarah form into the person she is today and without music she'd be in a lost world.

Main Task: Audience Research
















 









 
I now know that i will definitely be doing a R&B and Hip Hop magazine as it should grab more eyes from the public as it seems to be todays craze. I also know that I need to include fashion for mainly the ladies, Gossip and whats new in the music business/industry and also the latest music releases and the new hottest artist out in my magazine considering those were the main things that were mentioned in my screen grabs above. My colour scheme will be basic with vibrant colours to grab the readers attention however it wouldn't be too much different, bright colours to make it look tacky and amateur.
