STATEMENT OF INTENT

Statement of Intent- Georgia Stone

The brief of this task is to create a front cover and a double page spread of an entertainment music magazine aimed at a target audience of 14-18 year olds.

The genre of my music magazine is R&B and although I have specifically targeted an age group I will not be targeting any specific gender or ethnicity/race.

The name of my magazine is called “VIBEZ” with the “I” being a microphone and the “Z” being extra long which will include my slogan “let the music speak” inside it. The font will be bold, big and in bubble wiring to conform with my genre of being cool and bold.

The front cover will consist of my main image and several cover lines on R&B music albums.

The double page spread includes several images of the same artist and an exclusive interview.

I will be addressing my audience using slang because my target audience commonly uses it as well, so it will target them. This was the popular decision from my audience research.

My colour scheme on the front over will be black and white because my background is of a graffiti wall which is very colourful thus by having a plain colour scheme on the front cover it allows the reader to focus on the background and the main image.

However, inside the colour scheme will be white, black and red because red has a connotation of love and danger, which will be revealed through the interview.

I will be using Media Language, to create meaning with a low camera angle on the front cover suggesting my artist has dominance over to the reader. Also the trendy outfit will be relatable to the reader and conventional to R&B. Females are normally represented as being weak and fragile but by the way I have represented my artist as being dominant and powerful reveals the anti-stereotype and allows the opinion of females change.

The location I have used is Camden because it has loads of graffiti walls and is conventional to my R&B genre.
