Media Music Magazine Evaluation

The Idea of an Artist!

The artist would have a unique style, as shown by Rickie clothing such as the coat being worn indoors,with smart clothing underneath (pictured to the left). A artist should have a huge social media following interacting with fans (Shown Below).

The artist ‘Rickie Merton’ which I have used as my selling point for “Underground” magazine is of a young age, he can personally relate to the students/teenagers whom are aged between fifteen to twenty one. The artist is also a top rising musician in the music industry at the moment so his face upon a magazine would instantly cause a interest just from looking at the front page. The my artist is styled in an odd way, I have placed him in a jacket with a pink shirt. This style suits the way an indie pop artist would stereotypically look, as most of these artists go for an unconventional way of dressing. The curiosity of my front cover using the artist can also cause the potential buyers to take a look within the magazine before they buy it just to see who it is on the front cover.

The Media institution which I am picking to publish my magazine is Bauer Media. Bauer Media produces famous music magazines such as Q magazine and Keerang. This institution would establish that the magazine is intending to become a mainstream magazine. The Bauer media company has similar target audiences for most of their magazines, the target audience being teenagers towards young adults.

Advancing in my skills.

Target Audience!

The target audienc of my Music magazine can range from the age of sixteen towards the age of tweenty-one. The targeted genre ive choosen is rising in popularity . The price of my magazine was low aswell so that the audience is able to buy it without putting a dent into their weekly allouance or wages.

This task has allowed me to adapt my skills to a higher perstion than before. This is due to the high expectation which i am faced with, the work level and ethnicity has been rasied to a more proffesional standard. My skills in photography and editing programmes have also increased substantially as i am able to acheive more than i could at a GCSE level.
