10. Which Design I will use
• I have decided to use the ‘Mid-Close up
design’. This is based on my research into front
covers. Most of the front covers I researched
used a medium close up as their main photo
on the cover and therefore using this
convention will make my magazine more
professional looking.

13. Which Design shall I use?
• I have decided to use the first layout of the
contents page. This is based on ‘The Source’
contents page which effectively had two big
photo’s (or perhaps I could use one big photo)
with a relatively small amount of text. This will
make my magazine appear more professional
because it will be based on a real magazine. H

16. Which Design shall I use?
• I have decided to use the first design for my
Double Page Spread. This is because I feel that
it is an easier design for me to replicate whilst
based on my research. Most of the pages I
researched had a photo one side and text the
other so this design will make my magazine
appear more professional.

I have elected to use this masthead font. The font is ‘Arahoni’. I like it because the
shape of the letters is blocky and bold which is perfect to the audience. It also
stands out amongst the other fonts meaning it should stand out in a shop making
it more likely to sell.

18. Mode of Address
• My target audience for this are fans of hip/hop, rap, r’n’b etc. This means
that it should be informal so it relates to them better. My main age group
is 15-24 who mostly speak informally to each other thus emphasising the
need to use informal language.
• Magazines however don’t use words like ‘lol’ or ‘obs’ or ‘wtf’ in the text,
so to make sure my magazine is more professional it should use full
English words but maintaining the informal tone.
• The actual tone should be an ‘in your face’ ‘intimidating the audience’
tone because the magazines that I researched tried to intimidate the
readers into reading and buying, also it’s something commonly associated
with the genre of music my magazine will be covering.

19. Colour Scheme
• From my research I deduced that white, black and red are the
main colours of text on a front cover. For this reason my front
cover will use these three colours to make it appear more
professional.
• The background of the pages in a magazine, as shown by my
research, is white with black text as they both look
professional and clearly stand out from each other, so inside
the magazine my pages will be white with black text.
• Red goes with black and white professionally (as shown by my
research) so if any other colour is needed in the text, red
would be the best to use.

20. Fonts
• Most of the cover pages I researched used bold fonts
such as this and for that reason, my font on the
cover will be ‘Arial black rounded’ as it stands out
and looks like a cover font.
• Inside the contents page and double page spread a
font like ‘Times New Roman’ was used because it is
clear to read. For this reason my contents and double
page spreads will use the font ‘Times New Roman’
for ease of reading.

21. Articles to use in the contents pages
• My research told me to include chart coverage. One of my articles could be about
the top 20 R’n’B, Rap, Hip Hop and Pop songs currently in the chart.
• Another article could be reviewing the number one songs from the above charts.
• Another article could review the latest album from artists in the genres the
magazine covers. My research showed that my audience wanted reviews on
albums so this helps me meet audience criteria.
• Another article could be on upcoming gigs based around the genres that the
magazine covers.
• Another article could interview an artist.
• Another article could be a photo-style article about a recent gig or event from an
artist in the genres the magazine covers.
• Another article could interview a band.
• Another article could be on upcoming singles and releases.
• Another article could be on upcoming/less known artists trying to get them a
helping start in the music industry

23. Organisation of models-cover
• To organise this, I have texted one of my
friends and she has agreed to be the model
for my cover. We have arranged to shoot at
2PM on Sunday.

24. Organisation of models. Contents
• I have organised two models for the contents
again through text. We have agreed to shoot
at 3PM on Sunday.

27. Costume and props- cover
• No props required. To give a tough girl look
she has agreed to wear a grey jacket, zipped
up. This will help emphasise an intimidating
look. Because it is only medium shot, her legs
won’t be in the pictures and therefore they
are not important, however, jeans would be
appropriate to continue a tough look.

28. Costume and props- contents
• No props required. A leather jacket, perhaps
some fur around the neck and jeans would be
best again to emphasise a tough look to
intimidate the audience. Quite a few
teenagers wear jeans so this is an effective
way of attracting that particular target market.

30. Storyboard of photo-shoot-cover

31. Storyboard of photo-shoot- contents

32. Storyboard of photo-shoot- double

33. Reasoning
• The reason there is a range of personas and a mix
of ideas in the storyboards is so that when it
comes to producing the magazines I have a lot of
different pictures to chose from and can
therefore convey different personas easily and
am not constricted to the one personality. This
also gives me a lot of leverage with the articles as
I am not constricted to the one personality.
• My contents page only has long shots as in my
research it was mainly long shots.

34. Organisation of Location- Cover
• I feel a wall would be a simple as it is not
constricting and could help add to the “tough”
look which is common in these types of
photographs. And since I can use my own wall
permission would not be required and would
therefore be simple enough to use.
• This will be carried on into the contents page to
make the contents a continuation of the cover
making the audience feel more comfortable with
the magazine.

35. Organisation of Location- Contents
• I feel a wall would be a simple as it is not
constricting and could help add to the “tough”

therefore be simple enough to use.
• It would also be a continuation of my front cover
which will make the audience feel more at home
and more comfortable with the magazine.

• For my double page spread shoot I have booked
photography studio 2, 14:15-15:15, Thursday 23rd
February to take photographs of my model for my
double page spread.
• This location is appropriate because it is a
professional studio with all the equipment I need
and will allow me to take more professional
looking photo’s and also allows me to experiment
and try new things with the lighting.

39. Double Page Spread
• I have elected to make my double page spread
based on an interview with an artist. One of
the magazines I researched had an interview
as their double page spread so therefore this
would be good for mine.
• There will be seven questions I ask for my
double page spread: (see next slide).

40. Questions
1. What influenced you to start making music?
2. Do you see yourself expanding into different genres in the
future.
3. Your recent single ‘Wrong Love’ was an instant hit. Was
this a reaction you were expecting?
4. Any news or developments on future songs?
5. Did you struggle writing the lyrics for the song?
6. Have you considered an album?
7. Which artists inspire you to make music
I will also ask any questions that occur during the interview.
The interview will start after the photo-shoot in the Canteen.
