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.

Socio-economic groups

Overall I disagree with the idea of catogorising people due to their income and job title. It is almost de-humanising to put certain people at a higher class than other people ( e.g class A compared to E). I feel that everyone should be at an equal level. Although the use of Socio-economic groups is exceedingly useful when defining your type of audience when creating a music magazine as you can easily narrow it down and choose which Socio-economic class is best suited for your magazine&type of genre.

improvements of magazine draft Predomination

Improvements to my music magazine front cover & my finished piece.
























Improvements made to my contents page and my 2nd draft:
Here I have made changes to the 'Features' column as in my first draft this column was placed on the left hand side where as I have changed it to right hand side so that both columns are placed in the same way. I also changed the positioning of 'The kings claim to reign' more towards the right hand side of the page so that my writing was spaced out more.

Predomination: "Firstly how has the success of your music influenced your life so far?"

Kendrick:"So far my life has changed massively y'all,but most of all the fact that my folks are able to be excited about my music career and the success of it,the fact that their proud is a huge blessing for me. As a child growing up we didn't have a lot yanno and i've a big family yo which made it harder ,so the fact they don't have to live through a struggle any more is incredible man. I just want to inspire people through my music and thats the aim"

Predomination: "How have you been able to maintain grounded and humble throughout your career?"

Kendrick:"I think I'm just consistently remembering where i come from, my folks and homeboys from Compton, and how honoured i am to be where i am today. I try to avoid social media as much as i can, i a'int about that [laughs], I'm just being me and trying to adapt rather than change. Ive seen all types of people become affected by the media and I'm aware of it all, so i prevent it as much as possible.

Predomination:"Well changing topic of conversation here, how's the love life of Lamar? anything serious"

Kendrick:" [laughs] My love life...  na there aint nothing serious going on, you know how it is.[laughs],Whenever people ask me about love i just refer to God, because to me love is God and i feel strongly about that.

Predomination:" I see,that's a very good way of looking at it! Now tell us about some of the best rappers in your opinion?"

Kendrick:" In my opinion, some of the best rappers of all time are.... Jay-Z, Nas,B.I.G, Andre 3000,Tupac, Eminem, Rakim,Method man and Dmx.

Predomination:"Speaking of Eminem, tell us about your recent collaboration on his album" 

Kendrick:"My collaboration with Eminem on 'Love Game' was interesting fo' sure [laughs], basically when I was recording for the collab in my knowledge I was just supposed to be recording the hook,so there I was recording the hook and Eminem comes back a little while later and asks me for the verse, which I wasn't expecting [laughs], therefore i had to rewind and do tha verse,but it was all cool in the end,all worth it. 

Predomination:"What was the style of the song that Eminem&yourself was aiming for?" 

Kendrick:"The style of the song is kinda different, it's not what you'd typically expect, but the purpose of it is to sound wrong in some words, it's got a quirky feel to it and that's what makes it dope. Check it out"

Predomination:"What is your opinion on Eminem as an artist?"

Kendrick:" Eminem is a genius when it comes to rap,especially lyrically. That's why Eminem is one of a few artists that could create a song like 'Love Game' because his mentality has an extremely diverse imagination,it was a pleasure to work with him." 

Predomination:"Also tell us about T.D.E's newest member 'SZA'"

Kendrick:"'SZA' is a hardworkwer but one thing about her is she is always herself and if she doesn't agree with something or ain't feeling it she'll state it, which I like in her. She's true to herself.

Predomination:" What is her music based around so far?"

Kendrick:" A lot of her music refers to her parents or up bringing, as her father was a strict and militant man and she was a sensitive girl, music wasn't her destiny in her parents eyes,but she stuck wid it.You'll be hearing lots from her soon"

Predomination:"I'm looking forward to it! Quick last question, tell us about your touring with Kanye West"

Kendrick:"Yes, supporting Kanye has been a great experience. I find It good to tour around with other artists and try and conquer their fans by creating some more fans of your own, it's a good challenge and focus. Kanye is a phenomenal artist and worker." 

Predomination:" Well thankyou for taking your time and talking with us today and letting us into the world of Kendrick Lamar" 

Kendrick:"It's all good,thanks for having me"




Music magazine double page spread prelim: 

I based my double page spread around the double page spread below, I liked the way that this artist had her eyes shut therefore was not in direct contact with the camera which is what I wanted when choosing an image for the draft of my music magazine front cover as it creates a more personal feel for the audience and that we are almost drawn into the life of this artist rather than the typical image which would taken in a photo-shoot which creates more of a robotic/predictable feel. I also like the fact that they enlarged the letter S as the beginning of their sentence therefore I used the letter K as it is the first initial of 'Kendrick Lamar' my featured artist, Although I did not enlarge it as much as on the double page spread beneath.





















 

Music magazine draft front cover/ contents page front cover

 

Below is also an image of a magazine front cover from the music magazine 'Complex' of which I have based my draft front cover upon. I liked the way that 'Complex' have used a black and white effect on their front cover rather than having the image in colour and just taking the photos and using the typical white background. Therefore I used a BW/Sepia effect on my draft front cover to achieve this look. I also liked the way that their front cover was minimalistic and did not cram their cover with too many sell lines, furthermore I only used three sell lines on my front cover as I do not want my front cover to look crammed.

 

 My music magazine double page spread first draft:

 

What I based my contents page upon:

 

 

 

Textual analysis of existing texts

Frontcover

 

 

The sell lines situated at both sides of the magazine provide a snippet of what is to come further on in the magazine. The sell line ‘Katy Perry turns it up’ is to catch the attention of the reader and show that there is more included of Katy Perry inside. Moreover this could be conveyed as sexual along with the image of her on the front.

 

The masthead is partyl covered by the mid shot of Katy Perry. They are able to do this as the Rolling stones are a hugely populated in the market of music magazines. Although the colour of the Rolling stones masthead is consistently red where as they have changed the colour in to pink to convey the feministin Katy Perry and  to follow the girly theme. The colour pink may also represent pop music in this case,as she is a pop music artist.

In the main image Katy Perry is positioned in a sexual and provocative way. Her body to the side, hands behind her back and mouth open. Moreover the way she is dressed is guaranteed to grab the attention of men especially (shown through the male gaze)Her choice and style of clothing also represents the wild personality of Katy Perry and that it will be shown in the magazine.

History of music magazine 'Vibe'

Vibe is an american music and entertainment magazine founded by producer Quincy Jones. Vibe magazine is based around Hip-hop and R&B music artists,actors and entertainers.There was a lot of confusion and debate as to when vibe magazine started out, truth be told it actually started in the early 90's.Vibe recently shut down in the summer of 2009.Vibe was owned both by Jones and Time, Inc. until it was sold to Miller Publishing. Recently after that, Vibe was then sold by Miller Publishing to Spin magazine. Vibe was owned by Spin for several years until it was bought by Wicks Group of Companies in 2006.The reason for these miss-judgments is that Inter Media Partners, LP had been promoting about the launch of the magazine continuously,  what not a lot of people know is that it will just be a relaunch of vibe magazine with the new founded owners.Vibe magazine is issued every other month with a double cover, various artists that have been on the cover of vibe magazine are Miguel as shown above,Chris brown, Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki minaj, Snoop dogg, Frank ocean, Mariah carey, Beyonce, R kelly ,Eminem etc. 
What is the typical content? 
The contents that vibe use in their magazine is music reviews and interviews and columns on artists and their music. They do features with 20 questions etc including the back page.They usually have a celebrity gossip column and also feature on up and coming artists.On the the other hnad vibe magazine also promote designer clothing and have devoted several pages to branded clothing designed by the music artists themselves, such as: G-unit by 50 cent and Nelly's apple bottoms.Therefore a music item like 'Beats' would be promoted in vibe magazine and are relevant for this day and age as various R&B/Hip-hop artists use 'Beats' headphones and often are seen wearing them in their music videos.

Target audience and distributer?
The target audience for Vibe magazine is primarily a younger audience.Mainly between the ages of 18-34 of followers of hip/hop. The distribution of Vibe can be done at selected stores although it is usually through their magazine website.

Draft for school magazine contents page

Print terminology

Print terminology 

 Bleed is a printing term that refers to printing that goes beyond the edge of the sheet before trimming. This will help me with the construction/structure of my magazine and will ensure no errors.

1. Trim is where the product will be cut.

2. Bleed is the safe zone outside the trim area

3. Margin is the safe zone inside the trim area

Gutter, the space between columns of printed text.

This will help me when producing a double page spread. It will allow room for bindings in the magazine, also that my text will not get lost within the page. 

Ally it can help space out the writing on a page, this will help me separate the columns which will make it easier to read. 

A strap line is a short catchy sentence that represents a business, project or concept. It is a way of expressing something of what you do: what benefits you give your customers. This can help me with my magazine as it will catch the readers attention and be identifiable. Such as Maybelline: 'Maybe your born with it,Maybe it's Maybelline' 

A tagline is a small amount of text which serves to clarify a thought for, or designed with a form of dramatic effect. This can also help me for similar reasons. 

A pug is the little items/snippets either side of the masthead also known as 'ears' just like a pug. This will help me for extra information on my magazine cover. 

A pull quote/call out is  an excerpted line or phrase, in a larger or display typeface, run at the top of a page or in a mid-column box to draw attention to the text of the article or story from which it is quoted.  This will help me as it may gain interest from the buyer. 

.

M.I.R.A is a term that will help me gain information about other magazines and also help me with information in order to produce my magazine. 

M - Media form - how you know? movie, mag, TV series

R - Representation - who or what does it show? Words or images

A - Audience - who is it for?  Younger/older 

Pass audience is someone who has not purchased your magazine but has read it from a family member/friend who has brought your magazine and left it hanging about the house or office etc. 

Other print terms in which will mainly help me with the presentation of my magazine: 

Serif font -is a small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol.It is more traditional and trustworthy.

Sans serif - is the opposite to serif, it is more modern and trendy. (For a younger audience).

Masthead- The title of a magazine etc.

High angle - a camera shot which is elevated above the action.

Also primary,secondary,quantitative and qualitative research.

Research methods i have/will use

Advantages}

A Research method i will use which are helpful is secondary research as i will use search engines to find out who produces and distributes a music magazine of my choice also when i need to create a list of magazine publisher.
Also i will information from the internet and books to give me a brief history of the magazine, typical contents, when i need o crate a list of front covers form all different genres, when i must research which publishing house publishes the most successful magazines and also who are the typical readers of a magazine using the NRS website(www.nrs.co.uk). Moreover other/older magazines by the same title will provide me with a brief history and contents used in the past.

Primary research will also be useful to use whilst finding out who is the typical reader as i can do a survey. Moreover i can ask people for their feedback and information from others once i create a mood board of images and ideas.Which links with qualitative research as i can get personal feedback and suggestions of which i may add to my mood boards.

Quantitative research will also help me with identifying a typical reader/ target audiences as it recognises patterns and trends.

Research methods

 

Research Methods

 

I will be using different types of research methods for AS Media such as primary research,secondary research,quantitative  research and qualitative research.

Primary research is research I will carry out myself. It is extremely helpful as it can provide you with personal feedback and information from others. For example an interview,questionnaire,surveys. Also the internet and textual analysis. 

Secondary research is research that somebody else has carried out, search engines,websites,books,magazines and journals etc. It is good to find out information about music magazines.Also the NRS is a huge help to magazine producers as it provides them with information such as the age of their buyers eg 15-34 and 35+ ,how many people buy their magazine in comparison to other music magazines and lastly tells them the type of class that are buying their magazine, ABC1 higher an C2DE lower. 

Quantitative research is an identification of patterns and trends therefore this helps pick a certain audience to target, e.g men tend to read Kerrang! than women, also which age are most likely to buy this magazine.( financial side) 

Qualitative research is fairly similar to primary research as it gets opinions and feedback of others,but is also concerned with people's ideas, thoughts and feelings about the magazine: such as an interview. 

Denotation and connotation

 

Denotation's and Connotations

 

A connotation is what we think about when we heard a word or see an image. What feelings or emotions we have, such as happy or sad. Where as denotation is the actual definition of the word and the meaning of it. 

For example: denotation: blonde hair 

Connotation: dumb,girly and playful etc. 

Denotation and connotations are used in music/general magazines by letting the reader know who the magazine may be aimed at such as the r&b/rap magazine 'Vibe' would typically have a rap artist on the front(Kanye west),moreover the audience will know what the magazine entails before reading the article inside. 

Ideology

An ideology is a belief, An ideology is a world view, a system of values, attitudes and beliefs which an individual, group or society holds to be true or important; these are shared by a culture or society about how that society should function. Media texts always reflect certain values or ideologies though sometimes we may not be aware of this. An example might be that in some texts, such as action films, solving problems with force is seen as an acceptable value and reflects a certain ideology.

AS Media music magazine front cover ideology

ASMedia Kerrang! front cover 

This is the front cover to the music magazine of 'Kerrang!' Which is a popular rock music magazine. Their ideology for this front cover is that it is extremely rebellious with the image of the lead singer from a rock band 'Green day', his presentation of messy black hair,thick black eyeliner, an open shirt and an electric guitar in his hands conveys that their belief is that he is a rebellion, his attitude is that he doesn't care about anything or anyone and that he is different to other genres of music.The idea is to present the magazine that it had many imperfections and to draw in an audience that want to look and be different (teenagers).
The way that the image is taken from a low angle conveys dominance in this artist as he is positioned above. Moreover the way that the masthead and sell lines are written in capital letters to portray authority and loud sound that rock music provides.

Magazine front cover comparison

Magazine front cover in comparison to 'School Weekly' front cover

 

 

This school magazine cover 'Home School Enrichment' in comparison to my 'School Weekly' magazine cover conveys various similarities and also differences. The 'Home School Enrichment' magazine uses various bright and eye-catching colours such as; yellow,purple and green which grabs the readers attention immediately: Purple and yellow both being used on the masthead. This gives the magazine a warm and positive tone and appearance. On the other hand in my school magazine cover of 'School Weekly' i have used a plain black font with the school logo situated to the right hand side of the masthead to convey that it is a formal magazine which will provide information about upcoming events or past school trips/events that were a success, also to show that the magazine is aimed at students,teachers or parents of southfield school. 'Home School Enrichment' have sell lines both aligned on the right and left hand side, where as i chose to only situate various sell lines on the right hand side as my mid shot image is situated more towards the left/middle of the front cover and also to keep it clear and uncluttered. On the masthead of 'Home School Enrichment'  the Serif font has been used to convey that the magazine is reliable and trustworthy which will provide comfort and sustainability for the audience reading. Moreover the sell lines for 'Home School Enrichment' are a sans serif font which is also beneficial and may attract a younger audience and show to be more of a friendly and trendy front cover. In similarity to my 'School Weekly' magazine i also used a sans serif font to attract all students and for them to feel comfortable reading it. Moreover 'Home School Enrichment' use a question in one of thier many sell lines "Leave it to the pro's?" which can convey as being interrogative and forceful which results in the reader wanting to read on and answer the question themselves. They also used rather imperative sell lines. In contrast i used mainly statements as my sell lines:  "New house point scheme" and "Year 7 open evening, wed 2nd oct" to inform the reader. I also used an exclamation to emphasise the sell lines and portray success and delight.

School magazine front cover 'School Weekly'

This is my finished school magazine front cover, which I produced with another AS Media student as the task was optioned to work with one other partner or by yourself.

We chose to name our school magazine ‘School Weekly’ as we thought that straight away the title gives away what type of magazine it is and that it will include information of things that have been going on through the week at ‘Southfields sports and science academy’. We also chose to place the school logo beside the title as part of our masthead to show that it is for ‘Southfields School’ and also to give the masthead a bit of colour. Our colour scheme/house style was red, white and black as these are the school colours, these colours are shown on the school uniform and also around the school in classrooms and hallways. The sell lines that we included were mainly kept red, but also had one sell line white& one black so that it was not all the same. We did them these colour of course due to house style we were aiming for and the fact that they were school colours. We decided to write among the sell lines ‘Year 7 open evening wed 2^nd Oct’ to provide our audience with information on upcoming events. Also ‘New school improvements!’ + The image of one of the schools new improvements which was the new TV’s around the school which provide students& teachers with information about the school. We chose to include this sell line and show them an image to attract the eye of the readers by showing that the info on the ‘New improvements!’ inside is exclusive as they are ‘New’ and have just been put into the school. Furthermore ‘The Ecuador Experience; see inside for pics’ is an event that has past therefore is informing the audience of how this event went and pictures of Ecuador& the students that went inside, this will attracts them as they will want to see the ‘pics’ provided. Lastly ‘98% A*-C exam & A level results’ this is providing the audience with success of the school. The image on the front cover is of a year 7 student that attends ‘Southfield school’ in her uniform and also holding another new school improvement which is the school lanyards which allows students to swipe in& out of school. This is intrigues the audience as they want to know what this model is holding and more about it.
