Music Magazines 

Media Packs/ kits

The Demographic for the magazine 'q' is: 

• 77% Male,
• Profile; ABC1 ( 75%), 
• Median age range - 39,
• 82% are in employment. 

The Demographic for the magazine 'Billboard' is:

• Median Age Range - 35
• ''1.2X MORE LIKEY TO HAVE PURCHASED CONCERT TICKETS ONLINE (LAST 6 MONTHS) 
• 1.2X MORE LIKEY TO PROVIDE FREQUENT MUSIC ADVICE

The Demographic for the magazine ''Kerrang!'' is: 

• ''2014 saw 14% of all TV viewers tune into Kerrang! 
• equating to a mind-blowing 7.9m viewers with the channel reaching 20% of all Adults 16-34. 
• Broken down further, the channel attracted an average 1.8m viewers a month - of those, 782k were Adults 16-34. 45% of Kerrang! Adult viewers were aged 16-34.''

I've found out that a lot of adults still listen to modern music, but would prefer the genres; rock, pop and rap. 

Star Text

My Star text will feature a solo singer, which means that its crucial for him to look dominant, confident, ambitious, unique ( to some extent) and very importantly, smart. His clothing, will be very smart; blazer ( might change), a black or white shirt, with black jeans. This is important as the star-text must persuade it's audience that he is knowledgeable in general and knows solutions to problems, therefore the audience will follow and stick to his side. as reference I have looked at, the 'billboard' ( since billboard shares similar demographics as i intend to) magazine for Bruno Mars is incredibly inspiring and i might use it as template or as inspiration to follow when creating my front cover magazine since he is wearing smart clothes, and is extremely appealing especially to his fans. The mid-close up is important as you get to see his star-text, his clothing is especially important, with very strong lighting making his skin very soft, clear and emphasises its beauty. Furthermore, the big sun-glasses he is wearing showing that he is dominant, confident, successful and smart. I would play around the props featuring the star-text to see which ones suits better, but preferably I would have the star text in a mid-close up, with a fedora, and smart clothing, with him either reaching out for his fedora or touching his costume to some extent.  

A potential name for the band.

The band will have a name which is going to most likely be some sort of acronym. The name of the band will be 'Apolo' which stands short for Awakening, The idea of being inspired and motivated to do new thing. Pain, the idea that there is a obstacle or other contemporary issues, further relating to the music video. Ongoing, the idea that the obstacle or issues is constant. Loss, the idea of having no-one, and being all alone and sometimes just simply losing someone. and lastly, Oblique, the idea of being at an angle, not being in your mindset, and other foggy clouded thinking.
