Photographs for my magazine

These are some of the photos i used for my magazine. The first photo i used on my front ceover is just of the main artist, i used this because of how the picture depicts how some rap artists act and look. The second photo i used on my contents page was of the main artists and a girl, now this photo was selected because of the reason that most rap artists normally have a girl in pictures or videos. So this photo also relates to what my magazines genre is. The third photo i picked was just of the artist again but shows him in a light that isnt normally associated with rap artists but i choose it as it shows the artist in a good light.

Some photos I didn't use were ones that maybe didn't portray the rap artist look that the artist was going for or just weren't good enough quality.

Audience research

The average age I collected from my magazine was 16 so I aimed my magazine at 16-21 year olds by using language and context that younger people won’t use or understand but older people would.

The second question I asked was what gender are you and the responses I got were 50/50 half boys, half girls so I tried to aim my magazine at both sexes but geared towards boys a bit.

The third question I asked was what music do you listen to and 50% of the responses said RnB so I placed some things in the magazine that would attract those who listen to RnB music towards my magazine.

I then asked if people read magazines and 33% of the responses said yes where as a third said no and the other third of people said sometimes so on this basis I tried to make my magazine have stuff in that suited the third who said yes like what they would want in a magazine.

33% of the responses said they read music magazines so I tried to get those who said yes involved in my magazine. The people who said they read music magazines I asked what type of magazine they read to see if they would buy my magazine.

The next question was how much would you pay for a magazine and 66% of the responses said they would preferably pay £2.99/£3 so that altered my mind in to making the price of my magazine £2.99 to try and satisfy potential buyers.

66% of the responses on the last question what would you like in a music magazine said interviews so I specifically placed an interview in my magazine with another interview being shown on another page as well as having album reviews.
