Urban Beats Magazine!

In today's lesson we got put into a group of 4. In my group there is Billy, Mylinh and Bianca. In our group we must create 4 front covers of a music magazine for 4 months, e.g issues from September, October, November and December.

We want our magazine to appeal to teenagers, so we chose hip hop/r n b as the genre because the majority of teenagers listen to this type of music. We have to take photos for our front covers in 4 different locations, e.g on issue 1's front cover we are going to have each member of the group pose like a photo shoot with just a plain background, and for issue 2 we will have a picture of people break dancing.

For each issue we are going to have different topics that will appeal to readers, which will be featured on the front covers, e.g in the first issue we will have a interview with someone famous, or from the hip hop/r n b music scene, and then in the second issue we will have celebrity gossip and news from the hip hop/r n b industry.

                     

                           

                                  

                                      

URBAN BEATS MAGAINE

 Today in Media Studies we got put into groups. Me, Alex, Billy and Mylinh all got put into a group together and we decided that we would make an Hip Hop/R'n'B magazine. We thought that this magazine would appeal to young teens that are into hip hop/r'n'b music and into the urban fashion. The magazine will come out every month, it will be filled with news from the previous month and the gossip yet to be heard.

 We came up with the title 'URBAN BEATS' this is because the magazine would mainly appeal to young teens of this genre and people that are interested in this type music.  

 In the magazine we will have music reviews, interviews with some celebrities, gossip from some of the artist, music charts, posters and general music news. 

 In the lesson we also thought about how we would set out the front cover for each issue that we will be doing. 

 Every issue that each of us will be doing is going to have a different picture in the background. Some of the scenes that we thought of were more urban. Such as having a background of a live music concert, boys/girls on the 'block', a normal plain background shoot and a shoot of people doing break dancing with a crowd around .

In this lesson as a class we talked about how "audiences" can be break down into different part. we then looked at a magazine cover among the table.

We then got put in to groups; this people will be working with each other through out this project. 

My fellow group mates: Billy Bianca and Alex.

with in the group we had to plan out what our theme of the magazine will be. the group decided "Hip Hop and R 'n' B". The title of the magazine is "URBAN BEATS" we chose this because we think will attract our target audiences' interest and would appeal to them.

We will have 1 issue each month which would update them on what is happening in the music world base on"Hip Hop and R 'n' B. Each issues will have a different setting, the reason for this is because we want to keep our target audience entertain.

The colour theme will be bright, this would attract the audiences' eye as soon as they walk into a group. This is one of the important thing if you want your magazine to be a success because the first thing that would attract the audiences is not what is in the magazine, the title or the colour but the colour of the magazine itself. if the magazine is dark this won't attract the right target audience that you aiming to attract.

As i mention above, for each issues there will be a different picture. these picture will be taken in different types of setting and the main topic of the issue will be totally different each month.

today in media studies we got put into groups. Alex,Mylinh,Bianca  all got put in placed in a group together to try and make are own magazine , we decided to make a hip hop / R'n'B magazine called 'URBAN BEATS' for teenagers. the reason why we chose to do this genre of music is because the majority of teenagers listen to this type of music and my by making are magazine in this genre we can appeal to allot more people.

we had to do a photo shoot for it for are magazine so that we can represent what are magazine is about , the photo are going to be relevant for the issue that we are talking about in the magazine. we had to pick 4 topics, first topic is about what teenagers are listen to in the urban charts and the photo we have chosen for it is where going to have a group of youths with bikes on the floor having them listen to music , second issue is the dancing side of music what is the new hot song to dance to and the photo is were going to have a circle of dancers maybe doing some dance poses , third is club what are the latest club songs being played and the photo is people at   having pictures of the stage, 4 topic is all round hip hop low down on whats going on and the photo is a white background with everyone who was in group .
