Representation

Representation means how do I represent people in the magazine like social groups and what does the magazine represent.

My magazine represents the teenage generations and all of the young ladies that will buy there magazine. It represents a medium to low social class. This is done through the low price and through the gossip type stories that are included in the magazine. If the magazine was for a higher class then they would have stories related more to the music than the artists and what they get up to. I have represented the younger generations through the bright colours that will represent the young energetic generations that are around today. The colours are bright and varied which I have used to represent younger people as they are young and fresh, vibrant. This will also attract people to buy the magazine as it is what the younger generations like. Also i have made the magazine have a lower price than some of the music magazines on the market. this will means that people from lower class can buy the magazine as I have made the magazine come from a trashy, gossip kind of point of view. This will also represent them as gossip is unprofessional and can be seen as immature,. however, this will represent the target audience. 

Results For My Questionaire

Results for the Questionaire

I had a few people to complete my questionaire and after a numanamous vote Rave was chosen as the magazine name. people said that they liked the name becuase it was original and they thought that it fitted with modern day teenagers and is original.

I interviwed 20 people and 12 saying rave was the name for them. other names that proved next best were Groove and Sound. They said that I was good that it was original and related to the genre of the magazine.

I then did the questionaire and put it on my blog. the post in the next post displays the results of that. they are similar to the ones from the interview.

Questionaire I created to get feed back on my Music Magazine Name

Brainstormed names for my Music Magazine

Poppin- this name could suggest that the audience of this name would be quite young because of the shortened name. it could also remind you of a beat that you could jump to but it most importantly has the genre name in the title. This will give a clear indication to the audience about what the magazine is all about.

Sound- sound could be taken in two ways. It could be taken as the slang for really good or it could be taken as listening to a sound. This is good as it still will attract younger audience but does not display to the audience hat genre the magazine is about. Sound could also suggest loud, vibrant and harmony. I think that these words associated to sound however, do describe pop very well

Sing it- sing it instantly tells the audience that the magazine is about music and singing. It also encourages the younger audiences to join in and have some fun with the magazine. Sing is a verb, which could suggest that anyone can sing, which could further suggest that the magazine is encouraging teenagers to sing.

Pop girl- Pop girl could suggest that the magazine is about pop as the genre is in the title, but it could also suggest a gossip magazine as it sounds very girly. It defines the audience straight away with having girl in the title. Pop suggests that the magazine could be read very quickly and easily as the word pop is short and snappy. It is also straight to the point so that gives the indication that the magazine would be pure musical gossip.

Rave- rave gives the impression of jumpy beating club type music. This is good as it hints to the genre of the magazine. Rave could also suggest enthusiasm which could suggest that the magazine is passionate about pop and that the readers are also enthusiastic about pop themselves. This is good as the readers would be attracted to the word rave due to its occurrence in every day language.

Party on- party on could suggest that the magazine celebrates the genre of pop but could also suggest that the music is a gathering of all of the stars of the pop world in one magazine. This is good as the name will clearly state the content of the magazine and readers will know what they are getting.

Groove- groove could suggest dancing and good music. This is good as it will let the audience know hat the magazine is about and hat the genre of the magazine in as most people associate pop with groovy music. It could also suggest he the music will be chic, funky and cool.

Groovy Girl- this name clearly states that the content of the magazine is for a girl but it will also suggest that the music is cool, hip groovy and chic. This reminds me of funky vibrant stand out colours which I feel describes pop very well.

Teens on Tour- this suggests that the magazine will be on music. This is good as it will meet the aims of the music magazine. It also states the audience of the magazine, which is good s the audience, know the magazine is for them.  Teens suggests that the magazine will be informal and using the everyday language of the modern teenager. On tour could suggest that the artist could be releasing exclusive tour dates in the magazine but also could suggest some contents of the magazine.

Jumpin- Jumpin  could suggest that the magazine has a lot of content, which could suggest to the audience that there is a lot for the price of the magazine. This is good as the magazine is then competing with other teen magazines. It could also suggest dancing and partying. This could suggest that the magazine could be lively and celebrating the featured artists.
