Evaluation Question Four






The target auidience for my magazine are young males about age 14-21 because most the artist in this genre are exactly that, so people can look up to them for inspiration and really feel as if they were in there shoes.This genre of music stands can easily stand out to people that have had a bad up bringing and that are aspiring artists, and when they look at certin succesfull artists that gives them hope to do exactly the same because a few years ago they would have been in the exact same situation.Because of the price of the magazine i would still say the social class it is aimed as C2. The music genre's that the people would listen to is Rap and English Grime, and look similar to the person in the image below who is 'Blizzard' a english Grime rap artist who has featured on 'Sb.Tv' and various other Grime music sites. Before now pretty much all the Grime and Rap cultre's was aimed at people from a black ethnicity but now with just as succesful stars like 'Devlin', 'Pro Green' and the probably the best Rapper of the time 'Eminem' it is aimed at people from White or Black ethnicity.Due to the People that this is aimed at being the Older teenage males that would read this magazine would be sterotypically reading this in there spare time while relaxing and not reading it alot at one time, the magazine would not be released weekly but monthly.







People would buy this magazine because it would allow them to know all the newest gossip with all the artists and because there would be oppurtunitys arising in the magazine that would help the in pursuit in the carrer.


The main source of advertising in this magazine would probably be clothes for example 'Lyle and scott' , 'Nike' and 'Addidas'. Simply because they are some of the brands that the stars they are aspiring to be are wearing so they would want to be wearing the same as them because they idolise them.

Evaluation Question three










Time warner was originally two companies that joined together called, 'Warner Communications' and 'Time inc' and is now one of the largest media clongomerates in the world, owning many media companies, and with a revenue of over 26Billion dollars in 2010. Time warner is actually a American Company based in New York City, so i would like to have the opportunity to work with there english based companys 'Marketforce' or 'IPC' i think 'IPC' would be a more relevant company to work with because they have produced more urban Magazines including 'Nuts'. Time warner itself have produced one of the most succesful magazines with the same target audience as me 'Vibe' this is why i chose to research this company and would like it to produce my magazine.

Vibe is a multi national selling magazine founded by a producer called Quincy Jones with the same target auidience as me, this makes this a prime magazine for me to use a basis for my magazine. The magazine has most of its succses because it covers a broader range of R&B and Hip Hop then the competitor magazines like 'The Source' and 'XXL'.
