Nme readers profile

Here is a NME readers profile this shows what gender, age etc the nme magazine will be targetting. This had helped me alot as this gave me a idea on my readers profile for my magazine 'Bumpin'. They had asked the audience whether they use the folowing ipod or cd so this would help them on their magazine so they will know whther there audience would want to win a cd or purchase a itunes voucher so that the readers will be engaged. this gave me a idea as my target audience will be getting a free poster with the 'Bumpin'.

My iconography

This is a moodboard which shows the iconography that helped me with my magazine as the artist on this moodboard are based on the genre R&B which will support me on mine. the images are mostly black grey and white this is the colours that i had mostly used in my final magazine. some of the artist which are on this moodboard where on my final magazine so that the audience will know that my magazine will be based around the genre R&B.

Test shots


The test shots on the female model i had used a digital camera and placed my model on a plain white background as i was told this will make easier for me to cut my model out and place her any where i like. I had directed my model to stay in the position that i wanted her to stay in and the clothes and accessories that she had worn i had told her to do that as it shows the age that she is and doesn't show that's she is trying to be older as this magazine is aimed at for 16-20 year olds and my model is 16 years old. the image at the bottom of the male i had taken these images outside as i wanted to show that his a upcoming artist and the background will suggest his outside life also the clothing reveals his age and the postion shows that his a confident independent artist . these are few of the images that i had taken that i had used for my music magazine.

My Final Readers Profile


Here is my readers profile for my music magazine. I had created this table to show everyone the audience that will be reading my magazine and the other conventions they use to purchase music or other things. So the gender my magazine will be aimed at is males and females aged between 16-20 year old who will be in full education and who might have a part time job. The price of my magazine is reasonable ( £1.90) as they are in education and are not earning.

My Target audience

About My Genre

This is a defintion from the urban dictionary from google:Rhythm And Blues. A style of music denotable by its bluesy guitar sounds and deep vocalising, that dates back to about the 1930s. Nowadays the phrase Rnb has been coined by slow rap music, where the actual phrase rhythm and blues is no londer relevant. A general feeling that moaning about someones make believe situations counts as blues, whereas genuine RnB was started during the derpression in america, where the blues were a reflection of human uncertaintey and not the modern day idea of rnb

I had personally chosen this because its one of my favorite genre and i enjoy listening to this type of music also because the celebrities which make these type of music i enjoy reading about them. also the lyrice behind the songs are really good and can be a way to reflect about them and others can listen to it and this can be a way which can realease there emitions or feelings.

Moodboard

We was set a task to create a moodboard according to the genre that was help you produce your own magazine. i had browsed through Google different varities of RnB magazines and Hip Hop magazine and chosen the ones that i thought would help me and give me ideas for my own .This had helped me as i realised that many of the magazine had one model that took up the centre of the front cover also that the masthead was underneath the model. So this had helped me as i had chosen to do the same but i out the masthead on top of my model to give it a unique look.
