//After analyzing and reviewing these products I noticed I should have put more effort on images and font experimentation. In order to improve I would need more research and planning as well as practice through the use of using Photoshop and existence of other magazines out now.//

**__Music Magazine - Planning sheet__**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">**__What genre/s of music will your magazine cover?__** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** My magazine will cover the genre Alternative Hip-Hop also known as Mellow Rap or Alt Rap. **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**__ Who is the target audience? How old are they? Where do they live? What are their interests? __** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** The target audience are teenagers aged 15 - 25 year olds and who like to listen to Alternative Hip-Hop music that has been rejected as mainstream music for years. Their interests may include dressing trendy, focused on 90s fashion and very care free clothing. The magazine appeals to many worldwide but majority in Europe & U.S. **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">**__What is the name of your magazine? Why? Connotations?__** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** The name of my magazine is Junk, this is because Alternative Hip-Hop has been a controversial sub-genre as the public illustrate this music as prompting immoral behavior, and also because throughout years this sub-genre of Hip-Hop has seen to be underground often as Rubbish. So the name Junk represents the roots of the sub-genre as the rebirth of un-wanted music which happens to be going mainstream. **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">**__What will your masthead look like? Do you have any ideas for fonts?__** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** My Masthead will be bold and cover the top part of my page and will be of a techno or modern themed font but clear and simple. **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">**__What will be the focal image for your front cover and why?__** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** The focal image will be of a new female rapper called Mick whom is a young unique rapper (Ed Sheeran looking...refers to subverting) who is new to the game but is making an impact at the moment. This was the chosen focus for the front cover as this genre is based around the younger generation and that is the only aspect that keeps Alternative Hip-Hop growing. **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">**__What photography will be required?__** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** The image will be a close or mid shot of the subjective model at eye-line level. **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">**__What mise en scene will be required?__** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** The shot will be taken in a skatepark as this reflects the reader's Mellow Rap lifestyle in some areas. The colour will be of a mixture of complementary and light tones/colours to create a bubbly/youthful essence. This I feel very much reflects the Alternative Hip-Hop culture. **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**__ What would be your sell lines? How will you entice your target audience? __** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** My sell lines would be references to other main artists in the genre and will illustrate to the audience about the lifestyle and culture of the generation today and I will achieve this by using popular language and occasional use of colloquial language to gain understanding with the reader. **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">**__What items and feature articles would you need on your contents page?__** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** The items I will include in my contents page will be new artists in the genre, latest tours and review of previous issue with other popular groups and artists. **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**__ What is the focus of your double page spread? __** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** The focus of my double page spread will be an interview/story with XMC and how he suffers from depression and has to go to rehab after a split up with his ex-girlfriend and also how far he has come from that and what is expected of him in the next years. **

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">**__What photography will be required for the double page spread?__** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** It will be a mid close-up shot of XMC aka Jay Dean in a laid-back posture or in a relaxed motion. **

__ **Audience research - Surveys & Questionnaires** __

The surveys and questionnaires here are to assist me and are for me to consider the presentation aspects that I need to illustrate on my music magazine. The results of these surveys and questionnaires will define my magazine's purpose and style towards the target audience.

So as seen 'Junk' seems to be acceptable as the master-head name of my magazine as it suits the genre. As seen the most favorable age group for 'Alternative Hip-Hop' seems to be 16-20 year-olds. This result came to an unusual end as I didn't expect 'Pink & Yellow' to get as many votes, even colours such as Red didn't even appear on the chart. However this may have been resulted this way due to Alt Rap's mellow theme. As seen again my featured article seems to engage with the reader which I am pleased with. Same again, vast majority vote for rather than against meaning my featured article meets my genre and overall article as a music magazine. There seems to be a near competition between '£1-£3' and '£3-£5' this shows that £3-4.50 seems to be the reasonable price, plus most popular seen from results.
