Audience Research Focused and Analysis

Image
In my focused audience research, I asked my two female participants a series of questions in order to gain an insight of their preferences. Question 1: Name an artist you like from your favourite genre. I asked my participants to name an artist that they liked from their favourite genre so that I could get an idea about the type of artists my target audience would want to see on a magazine front cover. One participant answered "Billie Eilish" whilst the other answered "Hey Violet". These artists both have unique styles and I plan to take elements from each when creating my own artist. Question 2: Which magazine do you prefer out of the three? I sent my participants three magazines and asked them to choose which one they preferred based on mise-en-scene (layout, model etc.). My first participant chose the Rolling Stone magazine featuring Camila Cabello due to the vibrant red background and eye-catching model pose. My second participant chose Acclaim magazi...

Exploration of Genre

My chosen genre is Contemporary R&B as I think there is more diversity within this genre as opposed to 'regular' R&B.

I plan to take different elements of these artists' style, music and personality and integrate them into my own artist. As well as exploring the artists within the genre, I must also explore the sound of...

Brief Outline

For my brief, I’ve been tasked with conducting research and producing the front cover of an original music magazine along with a double page spread featuring the artist. During the prelim, I learned how to use Adobe Photoshop to construct my fashion magazine and I enjoyed using the program therefore I am excited to use it for this magazine. I’m also looking forward to developing my Photoshop skills, specifically when it comes to editing the main image and manipulating other aspects of the magazine. In my opinion, there is a greater diversity within music magazines as opposed to fashion magazines thus I think there will be a far more interesting variety of real products to use as prompts and inspiration when I am conducting my research. As this NEA is a time-sensitive project, I will aim to put more time outside of lessons during the production of my magazine as I think it will give me more opportunities to better my product. I also want to create more resources for ...
