on Here is the PMA for my 2nd photoshoot:
Reflection: This is my plan for my photo shoot with my model, and this is how I want him to look for my photo shoot. We need them to have a decent costume in order for them to look like a rapper; otherwise, the target audience possibly might not realize it’s about rapping and may not be interested in the magazine since it doesn’t look traditional.
on A Draft of My Contents Page:
on My Contents Page Examples, Some Design ideas of My Own and Five Catchy Headlines:
Reflection: A contents page is a page where it helps the reader find what is inside the magazine. You’ll mainly use it to the to find a topic of interest to you. They are hugely important in helping the reader navigate and understand the text they are reading.
This is my Google Slides about content pages in a magazine. I first found some examples so I could get a good idea on what the possible layouts I could use in my own contents page for my magazine. Then I drew some draft layouts on paper to plan what layout I’m going to use. Finally I thought of five catchy headlines to give attraction for my audience.
As you can see on slide 2 made some contents tables with numbers, the numbers are supposed to be page numbers. This is because the reader will find it easier to navigate their way around to the content that will give them the entertainment they want.
on Here is my plan for my next photoshoot:
Reflection: This is my plan for my photoshoot with my model, this is exactly how I want my model to look like for my photoshoot. We need them to have a good costume in order to look like a rapper, it is very important otherwise the target audience may not have a clue that it is about rapping and may not be interested in the magazine due to the fact it doesn’t look conventional.
on Reflection: In this task I had to research a star in a specific genre which I chose to be rap. The person I chose was Polo G, this is because I enjoy his music and he is young and has a lot of self confidence in himself. You can also see on slide 2 that Polo G cares about others and wants to make society a better place. He is a very extraordinary rapper because he speaks about his truthful storytelling in his songs.
Polo G also seems to be very rich due to the fact in his song “RAPSTAR” he said that he made 2000 a minute but he doesn’t only use the money on himself to satisfy his own needs, we know this because when he is not recording he is an ordinary person and bought his mum and nan their own house. He has the conventions of a rapper because he has a chain, bandanna and dreadlocks.
on Here is a perfect audience member from my target audience:
Reflection: This is the perfect person for my target audience in rap, this is because he is in the demographic age range of 18-34 and people in this age range usually listen to rap at this age. Morgan also really likes to be entertained by music, mainly rap and his personal identity is to be a professional in the future as it is his biggest desire. Morgan lives in America which is good for a target audience because rap is mainly based in America and they have most of the popular rappers.
People are usually encoded by not giving out any information about them and is hard to find who your target audience is, but Morgan has shown us his psychological background and was easy to decode that he likes rap because he mentions lots of things about it. Furthermore he goes on to say he wants to be a professional himself.
on Here are the 10 magazine font layouts that looked imposing:
The reason these front covers were so attracting is because they used mise-en-scene. They have really good graphics which makes a magazine look professional and well displayed. Most of them have used the color red, in a color palette red symbolizes anger, danger and courage which is what a rapper typically is presented as. I also think the fonts on each of the magazines are really well used because they look like they fit the genre.
on Here is my Piktochart showing my competition:
Reflection: This is my analysis of the magazine competition in the genre of rap.
on Here is a word cloud for things or people related to my chosen genre of Rap:
Here in this cloud, I have made some words that represent rapping as well as names of rappers. I did this by researching “rap synonyms” and added a couple of things I know from general knowledge. I chose this theme because I enjoy rap and I find it relaxing and entertaining. There are many different types of rapping in this genre, which is why it gets a lot of popularity because people like different rapping styles. Rapping has its USP because it’s distinct from spoken word poetry in that it is performed in time to a beat. The components of rapping include “content” “flow” and “delivery”. They even use social interaction in some of their music, this makes the audience feel a connection with the rapper. I’m going to attempt to make my magazine more urbanized and dangerous looking. This is because UK Drill rappers usually record their music videos in these areas.
on My Tour Poster:
Reflection: This is my own tour poster that I have made using Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop. The genre was a music themed poster I had to go for a rap theme. The conventions of a rap poster was you needed to look like a rapper so I used accessories like a chain and shades. I used bright colors to make the poster stand out to the audience. I used the Ariel font in bold for my title, I also added a sticker like looking and bar code. I chose the color blue because it’s light and vibrant, it also gives off the impression of inspiration and admiration.
