Title Block Decision

After my poll i have decided to go for a different title block. This title block has the font that you see on jersey jackets and it is quite urban. This reflects both my audience and the music associated with my magazine because the music is urban which is the latest music and my target audience likes urban music so it relates.

Title Block Analysis

The Rolling Stones magazine focuses on Rock, Rap and Pop music. Some of the Pop artists they are associated with are Britney Spears and Madonna; Rock artists such as The Beatles and Keith Richards. They also associate themselves with Rap artists such as Notorious B.I.G, Jay-Z and Eminem.

 

The colours in the title font tell us that this is an urban magazine. Tells us it’s really nice and bright and rich. They have used this colour because it’s a bright, attractive and it’s a really nice shade of red so people would be convinced to buy it.

 

The font style tells us it’s a really stylish magazine. The style is shown to be really posh and that tells us that the magazine is really rich and is also a modern day magazine. The style and colour of the title block is big and red with a white outline around it. The colour red connotes bright, sexy, outstanding and eye catchy. The style connotes boldness, new, richness and unique. This tells us that there’s no other magazine like Rolling Stone. This magazine has all the latest information on artists and the latest trends of style. It’s sexy; it’s unique and also rich.

 

The title Rolling Stone is also the name of a band called The Rolling Stones which is a rock & roll band from 1962 which has been together for over 50 years. This tells me that this magazine is a really popular magazine that everyone has heard about and has been around for a long time and everybody loves it. The title could mean that they have been rock and rolling since 1962.

 

The target audience could be men who enjoy listening to old rock and roll music because the title is related to the rock band and more people know the name Rolling Stone as a rock and roll band. However because nobody really listens to old rock and roll music Rolling Stones would associate themselves with popular music like Rap and Pop music. To conclude I would say the target audience is going to be people aged 16 to people in their 30s.

The NME magazine genre is new music. The new music genres they associate themselves with are rock music and sometimes rap music. The rock artists they focus on are artists like Green Day, Arctic Monkeys and Linkin Park.  The artists from the Rap genre that they associate with are Eminem and Jay-Z.

 

The colours in the title block are red, white and black. This tells us that it’s new and bold. This has been used to attract their target audience and to make it stand out.

 

The font of the title is really bold and big which tells us everything in the magazine is really big news. It’s big, it’s simple and really bold which could mean that the magazine is the type of magazine that stands out and has a lot of big news in it.

 

The title itself tells us that the magazine has to do with new music. It’s got all the latest information on the latest music because the title “NME” stands for New Musical Express. The word express sounds like transport so it could mean that NME transports you from old to new music.

 

The target audience would be young adults aged 14 to 18 because there are younger people that listen to the latest music such as Rap and Rock music.

 

Q Magazine is associated with all types of music such as Rap, Pop, Rock music and more. The rock artists they’re associated with are Kings of Leon and Coldplay. Rap artists they’re associated with are Jay-Z and Eminem. Pop artists they’re associated with are Adele.

 

The colours of the title are red and white. The red in the title block looks a little bright so it makes it look old. This tells me that it’s quite old. They done this to make the title stand out and this could tell us the audience that the artists stand out as well.

 

The font is really simple but it’s really big and bold so it tells me that the magazine is a major magazine and it’s really popular magazine. The font connotes simplicity and boldness.

 

The letter Q sounds like the word queue like you’re queuing for something. Like there’s tracks queued on the list. Telling us there’s more music to come.

 

The target audience could be young people aged 16 to around their 20s because Q are associated with a range of different genres and new music so it would attract them more.

Initial Planning For New Magazine

This is a brainstorm of ideas for my music magazine. I have considered the different genres that people are into nowadays, how often the magazine should be released, the target audience, how the magazine should look and if the readers would be interested in reading about their favorite artists and upcoming albums.
