Basic Idea For My Magazine.





At first i was struggling with what genre I would base my magazine on, it was between R&B or Pop. As my taste in music is a wide range i don't think it mattered which one i chose as i like them both however i am more inspired by R&B music.  R&B has a lot of styles to it such as dance and bass it used to stand for  rhythm and blues and also originates from the tradition but more modernly standing for rhythm & bass. In comparison now a days it is a term more referred to a style of African American music which came about during the 1980s in the demise of disco; it is also refered to as being a style of  urban contemporary. R&B has been  popularized by vocalists such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.


Another reason I chose R&B as my genre not only due to the high audience and popularity of it, but there are many different types and both of there factors will include a range of artists and therefore a range of audience and readers. as I can include many different artists and bands into my magazine to attract more readers.  In my class R&B will be a popular genre of music choice so I want to try and make my music magazine so i will include a girly theme to it which is not always put across in this particular genre through the style so my magazine will therefore be more unique. 

Also, I will include a fashion/ technology theme to my magazine via putting in photo shoots and advertising objects such as ipod or iphones. On my double-page spread i will include an interview instead of a article of a problem and feature the main model and artist of the magazine not only asking music magazines but fashion ones too i may feature a 'look book' into the magazine for an added bonus to the fashion aspect.
