Masthead result

This is the result from our magazine name optons. The names we came up with all had meanings and elements of being different and emerging together because of our hybrid genre. Our chosen masthead is :Diverse. We can make this name appear on the magazine as in your face and straight to the point as the name is short and snappy.

Slogan result

As our group are creating a hybrid magazine of a mixture of the genres pop and jazz, we needed a slogan that would allow the readers to know about this. The audience research shows that out finished slogan is: Japoppin for the first time. It sounds musical and is unique. We decided to pla with words that sounded different so we could create a new genre.

What I have been up to recently

As i have now finished the preliminary task, i have moved onto the music magazine task. In this task, we have to work together in a group to produce magazines although we each have to make a magazine separately with element suiting the genre and keeping the house style the same. Recently, my group and i have put together a questionnaire for our series of magazines. The previous slides that have been posted are of different music tribes and videos that are of this genre for my music research.
