Research!! - My initial ideas!

To begin with my ideas where to have a boy band in total 3 which would take priority on my magazine cover. My other ideas where that I should create a dance magazine consisting of DJ's or other artists who prioritize the dance genre for example "Basshunter."

The genre's to which i was considering doing based off my initial ideas where:

• R&B
• Dance
• Trance

Overall, i feel as though i want to create a magazine based around the dance genre as i feel this genre is not as widely known as other genre's such as "R&B" etc. Also i chose this genre as it would be a challenge for me which i am looking forward to take part in.

The audience to whom I am hoping to target are teenagers and young adults which was one of the reasons why i kept in mind certain genre's. As my mind was leaning towards the dance genre i decided to also find some artists who specialize in this field such as:

• DJ Tiesto. 
  
• David Guetta. 
  
• Basshunter.
  

 I found these artists as they can also provide me with an image as to which i have to base my own characters around. Also these artists give me a deeper insight as to how i should create my dance magazine and also of how it should look like along with providing me with key information about what topics to place on my magazine, how to make the cover look, how the heading shall look and also as to which audience i should be targeting as the magazine should also be made according to the age range and/or sex you are targeting as different groups have different interests and expectations on magazine catering to there specified group.

My ideas at presant are to have a single character on the magazine cover and this is who I am going to make the main DJ on my magazine an upcoming youngster. The colour scheme that I am going to keep on my magazine is lime green and black and this is how I am going to make my magazine cover look abstract and this is going to be the foundation to the appeal of my magazine cover.
