Formal Proposal

Title

I will be calling my magazine ‘Rewind’, as it relates to the genre that I have chosen to focus my magazine on. I feel that the name fits the magazine in a clear way.

Genr

e Ch

oice

I chose R&B as the genre for my

magazine, as it is a genre that I

know a lot about and I am

personally interested in. to

produce a successful magazine I

think that it would be helpful to

create one in a genre that I enjoy.

I also feel that creating a R&B

magazine for younger people is

something that is new and

innovative as there aren't many

R&B magazines currently being

produced. For my magazine I aim

to produce one that has a similar

style to ‘Vibe’ magazine.

what colour scheme would be best

for my magazine according to my

target audience. So I will continue

with the gold, black and white

theme. I will only have a main

image on the front cover, from

looking at existing magazines from

the R&B genre the front covers are

simple and only have a main image

and don’t have any secondary

images. For the main image I will

use a medium close up, this will

allow me to show the artists

clothing and accessories and will

also be a good shot for audience

direct address.

From layouts of existing music magazines, I felt that a similar style that I would like to create would be from Vibe magazine as it showcases the main

artist of the magazine but then also displays information on the contents of magazine. I would also like to add other images of different artist to the contents page to showcase some of the artists included in the magazine.

For the double page spread I will continue with

the colour scheme from my front page making sure all the elements of the magazine tie together. I will have one main image of the artist from the front cover of my magazine as they will

be the focus of the double page spread. Having one large image I feel would be more eye catching and appealing to

the reader.

yFor the photography of my

magazine I will be using a medium close up for my front cover to focus

on the subject of the photography. I will have a male on my front cover as currently male artists are dominating this

genre of music and I feel that it will be easy to create a good front cover using a male artist.
