State five music magazine titles and discuss what their names signals in relation to the magazine

XXL

'XXL' is short for 'Extra extra large’; implying the huge amount of content within the magazine, therefore the reader would be kept entertained and interested and may want to purchase the next magazine released.


Respect

Respect is means authority and dominance. In relation to the magazine, the title 'Respect' suggests that the reader may gain respect from the featured artists in the magazine.

Vibe

Vibe is short for vibration. This name suggests a new 'vibe' to the genre of Hip Hop and RnB where the audience can relate to the music whilst feeling this 'vibe'.

Flavour

This magazine focuses on RnB. The title suggests a new flavour towards RnB, which can attract an audience who are interested in this genre. The word 'Flavour' is generally associated with somebody’s preference or as some may say, 'taste'; therefore the magazine could be targeted at people who prefer to listen RnB as opposed to other genres.

The Source

This title suggests a source which informs the reader and they can gather information from it. Therefore, considering the title name, 'The Source' may be a magazine of which the reader is informed about new artist's and what is current in the music industry.

Our final task

Today we have been given out last and final task, the task is to make a professional looking music magazine. We will have to take our own pictures and edit them using softwares like photoshop.

Preliminary task

This is my final front cover for the preliminary task. As you can see i used a dark gradient for the background and a mid-shot of the model for my magazine.

On my contents page i used 4 different pictures of student's revising or playing football. For page 10 which is called "The next big step..." i used a picture of a  male student looking up which interacts with the text. He is looking up because this shows that he is thinking about the next step (future).
