Mood Board
This is the mood board i have created of the inspiring items that have helped sway my decision on my genre/style of magazine i intend to create.
Some features in this mood board are indicators to the magazine i hope to create for example the colours have the connotation of new update music for example the colour red has the connotation of the magazine trying to indicate this stop and read me message as well as this edgy side of danger to the magazine. This also links the images used of the new release albums and current artists in the public eye, i have also featured ways of advertising and getting the magazine out there using current social network sites like facebook and twitter. There is also the incentives that could appear on the magazine for example a chance to win a all paid trip to a festival such as V festival other incentives like dre beats. I have also shown that the magazine i will create will feature lots of genres.

This mood-board  also so showcases uses of theories that I can develop into my own music magazine for example the male gaze theory. This is the theory that suggests that women are seen as objects through a mans eyes and women envy their beauty. This is clear in images for example beyonce and the Cheryl Cole image. This is proven to be effective as some people may just buy the magazine simply for this. Some studies have indicted that people do not know what is going on in a scene as all their attention has been on the women.
