The use of headphones establish the fact that this person (me) has a singing talent. Therefore, it shows that this celebrity is used for a reason. Although, I believe that this image cannot be used for a front cover, because it's a mid shot and I was planning to use a full size image of this person which would be a long shot, that is typical. On the other hand, I have considered to use this image for contents page or for an interview of this celebrity, that I'm yet to give a name to.

Planning and Research (photoshoot)

I have arranged a photo shoot of myself for my music magazine. Since, I have decided my magazine to be an R&B music magazine, I considered to put a a female on the front cover to establish a romantic genre. This shows that my magazine will mainly attract females as they like to show their emotions and my music magazine is based on that. This will include music like - slow jams, love songs etc. Although, my ideal reader could also be a guy that feels attraction towards women, therefore it could be argued what my target audience could me. This illustrates that my magazine would have a variety of fans.

Magazine conventions;

It is important to make sure that the type of language is used is appealing to the audience that my magazine is going to attract. Therefore, the type of language that I’m going to use is formal, yet exciting and entertaining, since it’s a music magazine and it involves media and gossip. So, the mode of address is the way the media represents and addresses the target audience.  It is also important to consider other types of language that could be used, like slang, humorous and seriousness,  since I have decided my audience to be between  17 to 25, yet they might be different from one another, and some prefer humorous text rather than serious. So I need to make sure it includes both to attract my ideal reader. Although, the use of images also attract readers attention which shows that the pictures used should be appealing and outstanding.      

This is one of the music magazines that I researched to illustrate that both text and image used stand alone and is very clear to read.
