Plum line
'How does the magazine you have studied construct and reflect it's intented audience?'

Plum line is bright and attractive this makes is eye catching, it uses a variety of of colour. The title uses the same colours as plumstead manor so it's linking both the magazine and school together. In the right hand corner they have an image of the school anadvertisement of how the school is going to look after the referbishment . The front cover uses images as evidence to back up what they are saying, they include a section  for every year from year 7-11, the advantage to this is that there is a variety of different information for different people as their are many different social groups at school.They target different age ranges ranging from year 7 to 1. The magazine includes topics such as performing arts, GCSe drama, music, politics, sports and literature to attract all years from year 7 to 11 so they can read the section that they find intresting and most appealing to them personally. The magazine is formal but not too formal as it's aimed at people aged 11-16 years and the audience is younger and tend to find slang/informal language more appealing as this is what they are used to. The text is formal and straight forward, the magazine is simple, not too complex as it's only aimed at children and it's crusial to not make the magazine to difficult for some readers such as the year seven's. The main purpose of this magazine is to inform the audience of activities taking palce through out the school, they also inform sudents about achievments. The magazine effectively constructs it's intended audience through the colour, font and images used.

 This is my first draft of my Hip-Hop magazine, I chose the name 'BEAT' for my title as In hip-hop and RnB music, the term 'beat' commonly refers to the entire instrumental and non-vocal layer of the song and every type of music has a beat so i thought this name was well suited for this particular magazine. The colour scheme is black and white as through reserach most Hip-Hop magazine consisted of the colour scheme used on my Hip-Hop magazine. These colours are not used to target a specific target audience its meant to appeal to both the male and female readers.

The image is a close up as i wanted to create an image which was intimidating  and that showed power and  i think i achieved this as the artist in the picture is looking down at the camera showing he is superior than the readers. The artist in the picture is wearing a watch and chain this shows the readers he is successful as he is able to afford all the 'bling' he is wearing. This image is confirming stereotypes as most Hip-Hop artists are black confident and wealthy. As this is my draft cover, when improving i will change the colour of the font size and colour as it hard to read as its on a dark background i may change it to red or yellow so it stands out and be easier to read. Additionally i will need to make the artists name bigger and bolder to draw attention to it, i will also change the layout of the date as it looks unprofessional.
