how to improve your subject grades, revision tips, useful websites like UCAS to help find out about universities , up to date entertainment like top artists and fun ways to keep healthy like Zumba.

MY SKETCH.

This picture represents progress in your studies. The girl has a positive upright posture showing she is on top of her studies as a contrast to the boy; slightly slouched to represent his struggle in his studies with the textbook on top of his head to show its overwhelming. Although the background shows the bottom of religious statues and not the full size, so this may not be a suitable front cover image. photo 1

This photo is more suitable for my front cover as it shows three positive students thought their upright posture and smiles. Also they are in their full school uniform, which represents the school as being well organised and good appearance. This picture will be used for my front cover as it shows one positive student to represent her being ahead in her studies and one negative student behind in his studies, like the first picture, but i prefer this background.

 * Music Magazine – Planning sheet **


 * __ What genre/s of music will your magazine cover? __**

My music magazine will cover urban/ contemporary gospel music


 * __ Who is the target audience? How old are they? Where do they live? What are __**** __their interests?__ **

The target audience are teenagers of both male and female aged 16- 25. This Gospel music mag is especially for teenagers that live in middle/working class areas in the UK, where they are exposed to the street/gang life, listening to RnB, rap and grime which influence them. Gospel music is a contrast, using clean lyrics to promote/encourage interests of the Christian religion; God, joy, peace, and spiritual motivation.


 * __ What is the name of your magazine? Why? Connotations? __**

The name of magazine will be called D’vinee Beatz. I decided to miss out one of the ‘I’s’ in divine and add an extra ‘e’ at the end to catch the readers attention because it looks and sounds different to the audience. I also replaced the s with a ‘z’ to give the masthead an edge. The connotations of D’vinee: Immaculate, spiritually filled- describing the magazine contents as clean and fulfilling when you read it.

Beatz: music, instrumental’s, good rhythm, sensation- Describing the music contents as worthwhile and interesting.


 * __ What will your masthead look like? Do you have any ideas for your fonts? __**

My masthead will be at the top of my magazine. (D’vinee) will be in fancy joined handwriting and the word (Beatz) will be in a graffiti type font, to appeal to the teenagers.


 * __ What will be the focal image for your front cover and why? __**

The focal image for my front cover will be of the new up and coming Gospel group ‘TRIPLE G’ –GOD GIVEN GIFT, the artists I am doing a feature article on. This to let the readers know who and what will be the main focus of the magazine will be, so that that they know what to expect.


 * __ What photography will be required? Give details of shot type, angle and __**** __composition.__ **

The image will be a group mid shot from a high angle or low angle, with one artist in front and the other two behind with hands on hips, and smiles to portray themselves as joyful, upright people.


 * __ What mise en scene will be required? __**

Natural lighting; to create ambience. Or white to represent holiness, as a background. The artists will be wearing smart/casual clothing in bright clothing to stand out against the background and catch the reader’s attention.


 * __ What would be your sell lines? How will you entice your target audience? __**

My sell lines will relate to the teenage target audience by using frequent colloquial language and adjectives to bring across the Christian belief to the young generation in a way they will comprehend and use inspirational bible quotes that relate to everyday life.


 * __ What items and feature articles would you need on your contents page? __**

Competitions, Concerts tickets, latest Gig reviews, Artist Features, new Gospel singles/albums, latest fashion and top 5 Gospel tracks and quizzes on famous Gospel artists.


 * __ What is the focus for your double page spread? __**

The focus for my double page spread will be an interview with the new Gospel girl group ‘TRIPLE G’. It will about how they were each discovered by a famous recording label and promote their new up and coming album through their nationwide UK tour.


 * __ What photography will be required for the double page spread? __**

A long shot of the Girl Group, show very clearly what they are all wearing to influence the teens of today, possibly against the a montage of their living area or a brick wall background, to represent where the Gospel group is from.

=__FONT DESIGNS WITH COLOUR EXPERIMENTATION__= ==After all of my experimentation with font styles, I've decided to use a 'IMPACT' style font, in a black colour, enhanced with a and outer glow because I believe it will make my front cover look bold and stand out so that my target audience will notice it and want to purchase my magazine.==

 * I decided to rearrange the images with varied sizes and include only the images I took, along with structured columns and corresponding page numbers to make it easier for my target audience to read and because it looks more like a real contents page, as i have notice through my contents page analysis. **
 * I decided not to use this dps design because the text isn't clear enough to see against the image . **

 * I changed the percentage of how much the image covers the page to 50% and the text to 50% also, and included a stand- first and moved the quote on top of the original image, so it meets the conventions of a double page spread**

=__** MY MUSIC MAGAZINE EVALUATION **__=

media type="custom" key="22810622" width="174" height="99" media type="custom" key="22730730" width="176" height="100" What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
 * QUESTION 3:**

** I think that since my target audience is reasonably wide, its fair to suggest that I distribute my magazine in places where they are most likely to visit. My magazine would fit into big institutions where the market sale for reading sources are fairly high. The first place I would suggest for my magazine to be distributed would be at churches, because the genre of my magazine is Urban/contemporary Gospel so it s a natural institution where many people of the Christian faith would go to purchase my magazine. ** **The second institution I would place my magazine to be distributed would be at youth groups because they are my main target audience so they would gain easy access to buy the magazine, if it was available there. I would then move on to bigger institutions such as WHSmith, where very many people go to purchase such products as stationary and magazines because they supply a wide range .**

ple go to purchase such products as stationary and magazines because they supply a wide range.

**As well as WHSmith, I would distribute my magazine at the well known retailer Water stone's which is also another well trusted institution where it specialises in only books and magazines, where some of my target audience would go to purchase a textbook for the subject they are studying**. == Another institution I would place my magazine for purchase would be at big brand supermarkets such as Tesco’s and Sainsbury’s because they do supply a good range of magazines on their stands and a lot of people go to shop there on a regular basis for various needs and a few of those people could be potential target audience. ==

** Finally My magazine would be circulated weekly as the price of my magazine is cheap and affordable for my target audience. It will also be available for subscription so that they can save a bit of money from buying it weekly, especially as it is targeted for the working class. It will also ensure me loyal readers who will grow a stronger interest to the magazine. And I also think my EMAP (Top Right group) might own my magazine simply because its a well known British magazine publishing house, so they would be able to distribute my magazine to wider areas of the country easily especially since they've been founded since 1947. Meaning that the public would have trust for their reputation and increase sales in my urban/contemporary Gospel music magazine. **
