Tahmina magazine evaluation

My music magazine represents the rnb culture worldwide. Focusing mainly on young adults. The edition I have chosen to do is the autumn edition, my magazine shows this off because the main colour, which has been used, is orange to give people a better idea. The other two colours, which have been used, are blue and white. The font is written in bold so it catches the writers attention, there are small sub-headings showing what else is featured in the magazine. I chose to use someone from my year in college to model for me to give it a more youth kind of feeling. It is written in a street type of font to make it feel more rnb n hip-hop like. The language is formal and there are quite a few promotional offers up for grabs. The 1 major offer is winning a $1000 dollar shopping spree in New York for one special RnBeatz reader. The other promotional offer is winning some signed cd's by recording artist Nathan. The body language the magazine is trying to portray is a laid back and relaxed kind of feeling.

 My music magazine cover represent the RnB/hip-hop kind of theme mainly because of the person I chose to use and basically on how they were dressed. I chose to use someone that was in my age group because it gives it more of that young generation feel to it.At first my picture was taken in the streets but I chose to cut him out and put him on a plain black background.

 The media institution that might distribute my magazine is emap because it consists of great conventions such as colour, pictures offers and price rates. The audience for my magazine cover are young adults and teenagers that consist of the age group 14-24.

The way I attracted my audience is by using large fonts and standard colloquial English so people of all ages understand. The genre is RnB and hip-hop. The contents consist of interviews with certain famous rnb stars from London like taio cruz and one of Americas biggest male artist Chris brown.

from this process i have learnt how to use this apple mac computer and the ways of editing and using  pictures in adobe photoshop. Also how to capture good images in different angles and sizes and being able to edit them.

If i was to make another cover I would take a lot more pictures and compare them to see which one suits the cover the best and also plan out my work a lot more precisely and in advance so when it comes to making the actual magazine cover it will be a much quicker process.
