Short Proposal

Task 6

I have decided I want to make an R’n’B / Hip - Hop magazine which will be aim at teenagers to young adults. The main colours I want to use are red, black, white and possibly yellow. The masthead will definitely be either one of this colours, most likely red. As for the cover lines and sky line too. The most suited person to be on an R’n’B magazine would be a black person as the music genre is mostly view and listened to by them. Preferably the cover star will be male as most R’n’B artist are male and less likely to be female. Props such as sunglasses, shirt or maybe even a suit. This magazine would take certain aspects and have a lot in common with ‘Vibe’ magazine. Taking inspiration from this such a page layout and colour scheme for the purpose of my own music magazine. Referring to my case studies, the magazine ‘Q’ would not be the best magazine to take inspiration and elements from as that specific issue is aimed at a Rock or a Band audience. However my second case study is the magazine ‘XXL’, this features the genre of both R’n’B and Hip Hop so taking a look and gathering ideas from this would be very appropriate. A new addition of the issues would come out every month, for the price of £3.99. It will be distributed in stores, online (E-Zine) and even subscription postal services.
