Photo Shoot Planning

For the photos i am going to use for my music magazine will be of two people in front of a black backdrop as it makes the background less interesting so the main focus is on the two people. The two people i have chosen to be on magazine are Jodie Allen and Harriet Hagen. They will be included on my front cover, double page spread and contents page.

Cover line for my music magazine

My cover line on my front cover of my magazine will link to the main image which will be of a R&B artist. I will also include rhetorical question for the cover lines on my magazine cover, to make the readers think and to persuade them to read my magazine. I have used a rhetorical on the cover of my magazine which says 'Do you want to apply for next years XFactor?'.

The genre of my music magazine

The genre of my music magazine Is R&B as that is the kind of genre of music I enjoy listening to. Also my target audience is aimed at teenagers 12 – 18 year olds who also enjoy listening to R&B. Another reason I am choosing R&B as the genre for my magazine is because the research I had to do on other music magazine covers and double page spreads they were also for R&B magazines, so I have an idea on what they look like and what persuades people to buy that certain magazine. Also I enjoy listening to R&B music because of the artists who sing R&B such as Chris Brown, Drake etc.
