Final Magazine 

The genre of this magazine would be RnB considering the layout and style. The target audience would be teenagers and young adults, which are aged between 14 to 24. This is because of the language that has been used on the cover like "Busta Rhymes Yung L.A. Ron Browz" this may persuade them to buy the magazine. Also the type of colours that have been used, such as red, black and white they are associated with both males and females therefore, the magazine would also be for both genders. 

The main image on the cover of the magzine is T.I, this is ideal to the cover as he is a well known and popular artists and familiar to many. The image relates to the music genre as he is known for not just producing his own music but with other RnB artists. The image is in the center of the magazine cover therefore, takes majority of the room. This shows that the image is an important part of the cover and needs to standout. This is also effective as it is eye-cathching for the audience as it would be the first thing that they view. The main magazine conventions included on this over are the image of T.I, the masthead "Vibe", straplines "51 Lost Albums" and a web address at the bottom of the magazine website. Conventions which are not included are the barcode, pug, price, kicker and strapline, this many be due to the magzine wanting to look unique and standout to the target audience to show that it is different and the information inside is also different. 

The style of the clothing that I.T is wearing looks quite smart and high standards, this shows his high status within the music industry and also implies that he is career driven. This also entails an elegant look as he is making eye contact with the audience viewing the magazine therefore makes them feel involved. No make-up can be seen on the artist as it is a black and white image, this makes the image standout as the backgroung is white and the writing is red. There are no specific props used expect the glass and hat. These two props make T.I look well dressed, stylish and show his high standards this would attract attention and make the audience want to be like that and fashionable. Overall this suggests that a magzine fornt cover does not need to be lots of props to make it look good and visible. 

The name of this magazine is "Vibe" this many be because the connotations of vibe are sound, rythm and beat and somthing that has after affect. Therefore form looking at the cover you can tell that it's trying to attract as much attention and persuade the audience to buy the magazine as it will leave an effect on them. As T.I is looking directly at the camera and audience it creates a positive effect and makes them what to pick up and read the magazine. Most of the copy has been placed on the left hand side around the image, which are the straplines, to show its importance and uniqueness to make it look different and new. Although the straplines do not cover the copy the masthead does at the top of the magazine cover. This many be because the masthead is the most part of the magzine and needs to be known by the audience and familiar to them when buying a magazine.       

      

Process of making my double page spread 

MockUps For Magazine

The music genre for this magazine is R'n'B we can see this by the images which have been portrayed. The target audience for this type of magazine is young teenagers who are aged between 14 to 19 who are interested to listen to R'n'B music.

The layout of the double page spread is organized and understandable which makes it readable for the audience and due to it being clear it attracts the target audiences attention which enables it to view the main image and instantly you can tell what type of magazine it is. The purpose of this article is to allow other people to find out what new singles artists have created and who they are. There are two specific titles for this particular double page spread one is at the top left hand side on the page which says 'Music Happening Now'. This implies that the double page spread is talking about the new trends and types of music that everyone listens to.  This allows teenagers to get information about new singles and new artists. The second title on this page would be 'The New Hotel California'. This title suggests by using the word 'California' we know that it is a well know place and has many attractions therefore would attract the target audiences attention due to 'California' being a place where famous singers would stay when on holiday. This would make the audience interested. This would have an positive affect as the audience will be allowed to explore more than just the music but about a variety of other things, thus will prevent the from getting bored.

The conventions used on the double page spread are 'Making Hits: Jamie Foxx and Drake'. This convention implies that the magazine will talk about new hits which are coming out by Jamie Foxx and Drake. This will also help the magazine to sell as they are both well know and famous artists in the music industry. Also the main colours used on this double page spread are black, red and white. All three of these colours used together make the magazine look attractive and standout as they are bold colours. The colours are also appealing to the target audience and are for both males and females. The colour white indicates clear and bright also when you have a white background on top of the black writing it engages the reader more as it makes it easier to read and looks more interesting. The colour red suggests the love and passion that the target audience might have for the music. 

The text ratio for this type of magazine double page spread is more text than images. This has a effect as there is not too many images but more text to inform the reader about the article and give them as much informationas they can. Also by having less images and more text it will give the audience a clearer understanding of the article as the writing will be more explanatory then the images. The images which have been protrayed on the double page spread is for Drake and Jamie Foxx. This will have a positive effect on the target audience as it will persuade them to buy and read the article as both Drake and Jamie Foxx are well know, famous artists in the music industry. There is also another image on this double page spread of a music recording stuido. This will also garb the target audiences attention as they may be interested in going into a career that involves music recording. In the image you can see that the studio looks proffesional and eye-catching because of the way it has been set out and the colour used. The clothing of Drake and Jamie Foxx are casual but smart. This will influence the target audinece because if they become music artist then they will be able to look like that.

The tone of the magazine is mocking young typical teenagers who are interested in listening to R'n'B music. This is because of the way Drake and Jmaie Foxx are dressed and positioned in the image. The magazine does use standard English as the copy on the double page spread and is clear and understandable.
