Starting my proposal

TARGET AUDIENCE COMPLETE STATMENT :  On the basis on feedback the change to My target audience is 18-21 year olds mainly aimed at both genres and the magazine should reflect that even though in my case studies such as XXL magazine the average age from the magazine is 27 and the percentage of the male readers is 78% , I still want to keep my magazine target audience the same.

RnB magazine media kit

This is another one of the magazine i looked at to collect data for my magazine just to 

give me more than one view on a magazine. that is exactly my genre so that may mean that

i have a clearer view of what on statics. This is a digital magazine, the is a good comparison to the xxl magazine that has print and digital version of the magazine 

This summaries the purpose of the magazine and what the expected impact is on the reader from the magazine and from this mission statement is that as fashion still takes a part is music magazines and that my magazine needs to reflect RnB and the meaning of RnB well.

RnB magazine is a digatil magazine however it's published by an upcoming publishing company Viral music media . This type of publisher is different because it allows the magazine to independent , they are meant buy they subscription to create the magazine,they have over 1500 deals , they've worked with artist just like AJ crimson and K-major .

In comparison to XXl magazine the gender of this magazine is mainly female rather than male .with the statics around age group is roughly the same however from this i can see that this magazine appeals more to people around the age 30-35.This is not too far of xxl magazine however this made me see that maybe having a older generation as my target audience might be better for my magazine . Just as XXL magazine , this magazine is more popular amongst a black audience. 

the 72% that are college educated and the 82% that are employed suggest that the magazine is popular  within a older audience .

                             

XXL media kit

 This is XXL media kit , that i have been looking at the see and research about magazines and their audience and selling ponits . This media kit is the most recent media kit i could find however this can vary compare to the media if found today.

This is just an intro to the media kit , telling us just a little bit about the magazine.Even tough the magazine is a hip hop magazine , Hip hop and RnB are close linked and can be seen as sub genres to each other. This is why i research this magazine because it was still appropriate to my music genre.  This page continues to talk about the page views and it looks like xxl magazine have a wide fan base and is coming to grow in it's fan base 

By this conclusion about the readers ,i can see that  the readers that read this genre type of magazine is mostly a male audience rather than women and the average age of the reader is 27 , this number is low in terms of age  however we can see that the magazine attracts a maturer audience  rather a younger audience which may be more into the digital side of magazine .

Harry publication was the first publisher to publish xxl magazine , this based in new york and came around during the 70's and the publish all sorts of books and magazine both fiction and non-fiction. however in 2014 that all changed when town square toke the xxl from Harry publication, Townsquare is based in greenwich in america and it was founded in 1997. This is mass media company that not only does magazines but radio and a lot of digital media   

further more on to more specific stats , this cover race, gender and a range of ages involved. As i looked at the magazine stats can conclude that the women readers are lower than a half . This indicates that this magazine may be aimed at men mostly however i don't want my magazine to appeal to many one gender . The ethnicity of the magazine is really popular among African/Americans however the percentage for the other ethnicity  are below a half . this indicates which type of audience my magazine will possibility appeal to . And including the age group of the readers shows me that readers in there mid ages are more likely to read a magazine rather than a younger or older audience .

College Magazine evalution

 This is my college magazine I used a 2 colour scheme: red and yellow for the front cover and contents page because I felt that these colour represent desire and goodness and I felt by putting this into an educational based magazine will be a good connation of which education is about. I chose a front cover where the student is looking straight to make sure the student is directly addressing the audience, keeping the audience engaged with the magazine.  i think that the improvements that could be made with my front cover is that less should be happening in the background because it's clashes with my colour scheme therefore it's harder that way to read the text .  They could have been more interesting  column happening on the magazine to catch readers eye. 

With the contents page , I feel as though i had good use of images  on my contents , they  present a positive and good outlook onto the college, The contents page cover the magazine and it's strongly linked to the colour scheme therefore the content page is still relative to the front cover  however i could improve on the layout on my contents page that it looks more magazine-like rather than a news report . i could add a little more improvements by making the text stand out more  by creating bold text and a more interesting design by adding a puff and the image of what can be won and i could add a more active background such as an image of the college 

using the software such as Photoshop and Indesign weren't difficult for me because of the introduction  task when i was starting of my blog therefore using theses software worked really well for me in the process of making this magazine. However i feel as though i could have developed my idea on the contents page on indesign more because the software has many different feature to make your work look professional. i think that when i start my music magazine i should take that into consideration and also try and take a lot more better quality pictures because in this task my pictures don't look professionally taken. i also want to use a background that doesn't have so much going on therefore the main focus is the text and the cover magazine and the content whilst using colours that compliment the magazine

unfinshed contents

This is an incomplete  contents pages for practise that was made on indesign, one indesign this was easy to make and move the images around however there's improvement that could be made on the contents.  such as more information that can be and the font could be more interesting . if this was a completed copy there would be images of the college and pictures that connotes a positive  environment

What  Would I Add As Editor?

This is an incomplete practise on Photoshop ..

As editor of this magazine I would add a puff on the right side of the magazine  with an advert  to win ticket to see drake in concert including the page number on how to find it .  Above the bar code I would have the price for the magazine and a website for the magazine for that the readers may want more  information or download the digital copy for 1.99 . Adding more cover lines  that are interesting of what happens in the magazine such as featuring  celebrities that will be in the magazine and what to come in the magazine . i would as editor i would change  the font to a more tilac font , just to make the magazine not look too simple and ammeter.
