Pitch

My intentions for the front cover of my magazine are that i am trying to show clearly that my magazine fits in with the hip hop genre. So firstly the layout of my magazine will have most of the headings neatly layed out down one of the cover side in a bold font, using a range of colours and sizes, but at the same time following a consistent colour scheme. I will then have a different heading on the opposite side of the cover relating to the main image so that it is is separate from the rest of the information, and is clear that it is a story about the artist on the cover. This is done in most hip hop music magazines so that the story about the celebrity stands out and looks more interesting to the reader. This layout is similar to the hip hop magazine 'VIBE' i liked this layout as it is very simple yet effective.

The target audience for my magazine will be 16- 21 year olds, this is because i think my magazine has more of a young vibe to it, as most of the artists described on the cover are very recent so will appeal more to teenagers in this age group. Also the fact that the person on the cover is in this age groups relates to it being more attracted to people her age.

The results of my questionnaire have shown that most people think i should follow a black purple and red colour scheme. I think that this will look nice on my cover as it is quite simple and involves dark colours but bright colours as well so they will stand out more on the page. They also fit in with the genre of the magazine as they are not too dark or too bright. It also shows that i have chosen a suitable title for this genre as 'BASE' relates to music and is effective. I asked people aged 16-17 questions so this shows that my magazine will appeal to my target audience as they are in that age group.
