  Media Studies Task 9 Formal Proposal Title of Magazine I have chosen to name my magazine B3AT; I have chosen this because it is short, and linked to the magazine. The way it will be written is slightly urban as instead of an actual ‘E’ it will have the number 3 so that it is different and stands out, it also has connotations of being young, and fresh as it ultimatelyshows that it is informal. This will be done to show what kind of magazine it will be and what things it will feature such as fashion, and gossip. Choice of Genre I have chosen the genre of R&B/Hip Hop as I have already got background information about that genre, and I personally enjoy listening to that genre of music, so it reflects my personal style and my personality. By me being a fan of that genre of music I know what kind of things I should pout in my magazine as I would put the things in the magazine that I would like to see. My Target Audience The stereotypical target audience of R&B music is afro Caribbean males, but I am aiming my magazine at both males and females aged 16- 24 that aren’t just Afro Caribbean. I have decided that I would like to use an Asian male to be on the front cover of my magazine, this is because I think that R&B music is very popular with Asian people Initial Ideas for Front Cover For my front cover I am planning to use a medium close up shot of an Asian male, who looks serious as that is how the males on R&B magazines look. I have also decided that I will use bright colours as that attractthe audience and I don’t want to use dim dark colours as that isn’t appealing. I will have sell lines about the artists that themagazinewill feature, and exclusive interviews. Initial Ideas for My Contents Page For my contents page, the masthead will say contents to establish what page it is, and the name of themagazine will also be in the right hand corner and it will be throughout the whole magazine. The colour scheme from thefront cover will run through to the contents page as it makes it look sophisticated. There will be about 3 images on the contents page and an editor’s letter with an image of the editor. Initial Idea for My Article For the double page spread I would have the image of the artist/band on one side of the page and theinterview on the other side of the page. It will be based on the artist and what they have been up to and the music that they are going to be releasing. The text will be in paragraphs. Hoorie Begum

  Media Studies Initial Ideasfor Photographs I have decided that I will use a medium close up shot of my male artists, as that is what the majority of magazines have on their front covers. For the contents page the image of the editor with the editor’s letter will be a small image of the editor’s face. I will use both males and females so that it attracts both genders as that is who I have aimed my magazine at. For the double page spread I have a long shot of the artist to show their body language, and I will have it against a plain background because I don’t want the attention diverted of off the artist.
