How i will construct my music magazine bearing in mind audiences pleasures.

Audiences pleasures- A set of techniques that a magazine will use to persuade an audience to buy a magazine and to maintain readership.

Sets of techniques are;

Direct mode of address- How it speaks to the reader. Through language (topic specific language) such as colloquial language,pro-nouns and semantic words within the field of music. 

*I will use this when constructing my music magazine,as my magazine genre is  R&B I will colloquial language and semantic words such as 'y'all, dope, ya bish' 
Sense of being given too- Magazines including freebies for example; gifts,downloads,patterns and competitions.

*Within a sense of being given to,I will use this in my magazine by Listing the 'Top 10 freshest R&B tracks right now'. I may include a competition to win posters,Cd's and merchandise of my interviewer 'Kendrick Lamar'. 

Sense of belonging to a community of readers- A group of people that have the same taste in music and share their thoughts through forums,fan clubs,tour dates,chart updates,interviews and to gain more exclusive information.

*This is also useful when constructing my music magazine as I will provide tour dates of artists, music updates within R&B, interviews (Kendrick Lamar) and exclusive information (New upcoming artists, facts about their personal life,new songs) in order to make the reader belong to a community.

Opportunity for self definition- Something that helps the reader to define themselves as a person.
*Parts of my magazine that will create opportunity for self definition are interviews where the reader may relate.

Ritual of consuming the familiar- When the magazine has a certain pattern or consistent regular style throughout it. Which the reader is comfortable with and subscriptions continue.

*I will use this when constructing my magazine as my theme through out is 'black and white' and occasionally red. My magazine will also feature R&B/Rap artists only so the reader will not come across say an unexpected Pop artist. 

Audience pleasures    -Attracting an audience

 How will I attract my audience through my music magazine?

The contents of my magazine will include various audience pleasure. Direct mode of address being one of them for example; colloquial language and semantic words used within my interview with my chosen artist as my music genre is R&B/Rap. I will use the audience pleasure of a sense of being given to by including freebies like posters of the featured artist in my magazine, I will provide competitions for my audience to participate in; to meet the featured artist, to win a signed CD or merchandise etc.  Also downloads and new up-coming artists will be included within my magazine for my audience to discover. I will use opportunity for self-definition within my magazine through the use of interviews as my audience may relate to what has been said in the interview. Ritual of consuming the reader will be used when attempting to attract an audience as my magazine will only feature R&B/Rap artists as it is of that genre, therefore my audience will not have any unexpected say Pop or Rock artists. I will also use belonging to a community of readers by providing information on forums, fan clubs and tour dates for my audience to participate in and share their interests with one another.
