Initial magazine ideas (Jack Burgess)

For our music magazine we are looking to aim this at the people who are into electronic/dance music, such as Deadmau5, Steve Oaki and Swedish House Mafia. The possible age range for our magazine is from 18 year olds to 21 years old. A reason why we have chosen this age range is because it is a possible audience that goes to electronic/dance music gigs in Britain or maybe around the world to see their musical icons.

A possible name for our music magazine will probably be "Laser". We came up with this name because at many electronic/dance music gigs or festivals a lot of smoke and lasers are used to get the crowd to have more fun and get more excited whilst the artist is playing. It is a simple name and ultimately it'll stick into the readers minds and won't forget it.

For our magazine, the gender were aiming at is both. Because electronic/dance music is not just liked by either male or female, both genders appreciate the music so both genders should be aimed at and just one to cause any discrimination or sexism throughout the magazine. A social group that we are also aiming at is middle class. Due to the prices of tickets to go to certain festivals such as Tomorrowland are quite expensive, so in conclusion we'll be aiming this magazine at people who are highly interested in electronic/dance music and love to go to them types of festivals. And at both genders to not cause any tension between any sexes and people who are slightly middle class.

  1. Jack - i have marked your planning to date. You are working at Level 2. It could have been low level 3 as you analyse representations and use media terminology well- however you haven't posted your prelim tasks!Where is your college mag front cover and draft of contents? These things should not be missing from the blog.
    You must also post your analysis of dps and contents making sure you include representations & language and register [inc semiotics].
    After this, you need to analyse your TA research and then use all your research to update and finalise your own ideas.
