The name of my music magazine is called “WATCH THE THRONE” but I
will only place the initials “WTT” on the front cover because it is too long
to fit in the front cover.
The reason why I chose WTT as the name of my music magazine because
in the music industry its all about who is the best and most established
artists but no matter who's the best there's always someone better that can
take that artists place in the music industry. That’s why you really have to
watch your place in the throne (The top of the music industry) if you’re the
best, and my magazine will be all about these new artists (new comers
from YouTube) that have the possibility to take this fictional throne.
My chose genres are hip hop/grime and rap music. Hip hop is separated
into many different styles and grime is one of them. The reason why I
chose grime is because it was created in East London (Bow) in the early
2000’s, and I can relate to this because I grew up In this area and I know
some people who actually make their own grime music.
I also wanted to have some rapper on my artists to make my music
magazine have a more street look to it and that’s exactly what will attract
my intended audience.

My feature article witch will be on a DPS will be about a very popular Asian
rapper who was a new comer but now he is very established due to the
advance in social networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube. This
rapper is an Asian guy who will be will be pretending to be a fictional
rapper called Dj Ibzzy (because his name is Ibrahim and I my nickname for
him is Ibzzy). He will be wearing a snapback, a colourful hoodie with a very
large chain on and he will also jeans and bright blue trainers. These
pictures will be taken at the photography studio.
Another guy I know who will be pretending to be a rapper will be doing
location pictures with me be the football pitch and he will be playing the
role of a footballer who isn’t getting much money and popularity from
football so he quit his role as a striker to be a rapper. He will be wearing a
hoodie and a snapback and very bright white trainers.
What makes my music magazine different is the regulars that I am going to
have. For example I will have a regular article called “Twitter Responses”
and every time a new article comes out I will interview an artist and go
through their fans tweets for them to answer. I will also have an article
called “YouTube's Top Raps” and this will include new comer’s raps on
YouTube that have some potential and it will have their channels name on
this article for the readers to listen to later on

Master head has to be big and bold while looking as
professional as possible. Like NME’s on and Billboards.
The master head will be a very dark red colour to match
with my colour scheme which is Dark Red, Black and
White/Grey.
The lettering has to be very clear and professional (like the
font “Arial”) and that means no shadow effects of other
tacky stuff like that, but I will make sure that the font is
boring and dull.
5. Magazine Proposal
My magazine publisher will be IPC
because IPC is an international publishing
corporation that publish music magazines
like NME, Mouse Breaker, Nuts and Uncut.
IPC is a very established and well know
company because it was founded a long
time ago, and also because of the large
amount of magazines, books and
newspapers they publish. The screen shot
on the top right corner, shows all the sports
and leisure magazines IPC publish and
people that are interested in sports and
leisure are a part of my target audience.
If I were to have IPC as a publisher I could
get lots of readers from around the world
because IPC is a well known international
publishing company with lots of potential
readers for WTT.

My Target Audience
My target audience is mostly men at the average age of 24 years old.
This is because I wouldn’t really expect females to be reading a very
street-like magazine with a hip hop genre and this is because their isn’t
that many females that are working in this genre. (The reason why I
chose 24 years old men as my target audience is because most men that
age are most likely to be employed and will be able to afford buying my
magazine all the time. NME average aged readers are 24years old too).
The percentage of male to females that will be reading my music
magazine will be 70%Male and 30%Female. NME has a 69% Male and
29% female fan base. (That’s the main reason why I chose a mostly
male audience for WTT).
My target audience has to be in the ABC1 class so that they have enough
economic stability to be able to carry on purchasing my magazine.
The men that will be reading my magazines will be
in to sports and fitness because my magazine will
include offers and prizes that will interest them
every month.
