Readership Profile

I asked teenagers what they like about Pop music including their favourite artists.
I found out that more females are into pop music than males.
The most popular artists are Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Rihanna so I am going to include these three artists in my music magazine.
The target audience for my music magazine will be from young children to teenagers.
Also i found out that most teenagers watch X-Factor because it is a popular show for pop music and also special guests such as Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Rihanna have appeared on the show.
Also i found out that most teenagers rather buy songs from Itunes because it is quick and easy to put them onto IPODS or MP3 Players rather than buy them on Cd's.

Interview with Joanna Jarvis for Music Magazine

From the interview, i can tell that Joanna Jarvis is a working class woman because she doesn't speak like she is upper class and she uses slang words like any other normal teenager from middle class to working class. Also the way she is dressed to suggests that she is not upper class otherwise she would wear a fancy dress but she is wearing clothes which relate to her personality.

Photoshoot for Music Magazine

 
I have planned to do a photoshoot using one of my friends as the main topic for the music magazine. and also taking a few pictures of one of my other friends as a secondary lead for the front cover of the magazine.
My friend Joanna posed several times for a variety of different pictures using different levels and angles to show a variety of differents shots. I took them using my mobile phone camera whilst we were at college. I told her to wear what she wanted because it gives a sense of style to who Joanna is and what she likes to wear but her clothes fit well with the magazine genre. i want the clothes to show the type of person Joanna is without using words.
My other friend wanted to wear sunglasses to show a sign of coolness for another article in the magazine and i also told him to wear whatever he wanted to show himself through clothes instead of words.
also i am going to include a picture of a musical instrument becuase i know my friend Joanna plays Guitar, Drums and Bass so it will work well with her and the article in the music magazine.
I will delete the background from each image because my magazine is just going to be plain white background but the colours will make the magazine attractive along with the pictures.
