Introduction

My task was to create a music magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread, aimed at the audience of my choice. I decided to target my products at hip hop and R&B fans, so these genres were the main theme for my magazine. To help me make my products as professional and realistic as I could, I had to deconstruct other magazine pages such as front covers and double pages spreads with a similar audience to mine. To portray my audience I had to create a 'Reader Profile' depicting my typical readers interests including favourite drinks, cosmetics and holiday destinations. My products were aimed at both women and men, I therefore chose to portray both these genders to help give me a feel of what I should include in my pages to appeal to my audience properly. As well as this, I conducted a survey firstly to give me an idea of what my target audience would be drawn to, then finally how my audience felt about my finished products and whether they appeal. To help me conclude how much of a success my products actually were, I'll be evaluating them using this blog.
