- 2. Planning and preparation I looked at a lot of music magazines’ mainly hip hop and rap magazines because of my theme. The magazines I looked at for example were; the source, XXL mag and NME. Most of my ideas came from the source because it seemed to match my ideas and what I wanted my magazine to look like. My aim was to make my magazine formal yet urban and was aimed at 18-24 year olds. The magazine name is outstandin g because of the red colour I like the green font used in the The picture heading is powerful because and is also it’s the first the first thing I see. thing I see for this magazine cover.
- 3. Magazine proposal I want to create and hip hop/urban theme kind of magazine. It should be published every different season so its rare. It will cost £2.80 as well. The images I use will be very urban and ‘swaggish’. There are many magazines on the market that sell strictly hip- hop magazines but I don’t believe there is UK hip hop magazines so this will be the first. My aim for target audience is young adults aged 18-24 of any ethnicity with urban social background but this magazine is aimed at the male sex than the female sex because of the rappers mentioned. My magazine style is going to be a bit more ‘fly’ & gangster than funny and quirky. Its going to be a modern hip-hop themed magazine but it can also relate to a lot of young black adults in London. My magazine will be very parallel to the source with the font and the colours.
- 4. Front Page -Research I looked at many magazines but the one that stood out to me the most had to be ‘the source’ because of the use of colours. The front cover is the first thing you see so I took extra time on that section. I wanted my magazine to look the green edition of the source so I made it the Spring Edition
- 5. My Front page My front cover looks exactly how I wanted it to. It follows the codes and conventions and the colours go wonderfully with the images. The font is nice as well as the actual magazine name ‘the chronic’ which is similar to ‘the source’
- 6. Contents page -Research I had a rough idea of how I wanted my contents page to look but this was very tricky indeed because I wasn’t really convinced my contents page would be as good as my front page. I looked to XXL magazine for contents page ideas.
- 7. My Contents I took a lot of time on my contents page and tried my best to make it look as good as it possibly could. this wasn’t easy but I believe I got to were I want it to be. I used the pictures I took and it fitted in well with my magazine.
- 8. Double page spread- Research Most double page spreads I looked at had one half interview questions and the other a big picture of the person you are interviewing. This gave me ideas so I followed them rules and worked on making my magazine like that. The first picture I researched looked exactly how I’d want my double page spread to look like, it has all the write colours and the perfect image. The second picture I researched probably isn't as good as the first one but its still how I’d want my magazine double page spread to look like.
- 9. My Double pagespread With my double page spread I used ideas from The source magazine which helped me a lot. I had to take a while to sort the picture out which was the part of the double page because the image is the first thing people will see. I used green font with the DPS because of the magazine theme ‘green edition’. The colour stands out well with the white background as well. The black and white picture emphasis his authority in the picture and superiority.

- 11. Public Feedback I puttogether six questions and printed out copies of my magazine front cover, contents and feature pages. The six questions were: 1. Are you male or female? 2. How old are you? 3. What type of music do you listen to? 4. How much would you pay for my magazine? 5. What type of magazines do you buy/subscribe to? 6. Would you buy my magazine – Yes/No? And why? Here are my results: 1. Male. 2. 21. 3. Hip hop & R’n’B 4. £3.50. 5. Regular buyer of XXL magazine 6. ‘I would because it seems like my kind of magazine.’
