Introduction

Hi all and welcome to my music press, my name is Jassiem (that's pronounced Ja-zeem) and I am happy with you all for visiting my progress in media and my personal views and opinion on music. The type of music I will be primarily focusing on is Hip-Hop/R&B, I am a big fan of both genres and have great respect for what they both represent. I am a big fan of Hip-Hop/R&B magazines such as 'XXL' and 'Rap-Up Magazine' and although i don't subscribe to them I go on their websites frequently.

The main objective in media this year is to design a brand new magazine, which targets the following audience:

A teen audience between 12 and 15 years old or
An older teens audience between the ages of 16-19.
Aimed at a UK magazine audience

The magazine is to be sold on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis.

You will have to decide on:

• A title
• The genre(s) of your magazine
• Its style and form
• Magazine conventions-and comparisons to existing music magazine publications
• Create a brand identity/use of logo
• Its use of representation
• The language of the magazine article 
• Use of original and not found images
• Is it a regional or national publication
• Consider who is your target audience 

It is important that you have created an image for a new band/ artist. This artist/ band is whom you are promoting in your music magazine. The original images you are to take have to promote the image of your artist and the magazine article is promoting and publishing a new album/ single and the launch of the career of the musicians.



This video gives a idea of the type of music I'll be focusing on and also the imagery of the video fascinates me as well.
