Article Analysis

This week I have been working on analysing four magazine articles from different magazines So far I have analysed two; one from the pop magazine Top of the Pops, with an interview with Avril Lavigne and the other from RnB magazine Vibe, this was a feature on Alice Smith. I have still got two left to do, one which is RnB and the other which is a different type of magazine so I will probably end up doing a rock magazine so I have a wide variety of different types of magazines.
It is half term tomorrow and I have a lot of work to do, I have to analyse the other two articles and then I have to analysis two contrasting contents pages and two contrasting adverts, from within a music magazine so I can see how different they are and what type I need to do for my magazine. The two contents pages and adverts must be different and one of them must be an RnB magazine like I am making because, it will make it easier for me to see what I need to do when I make mine. Below is the article analysis which I did.

Front Cover Analysis

I have done a lot of work since my last entry. I have analysed four different front covers of music magazines, i did two that are not RnB; Smash Hits which is a pop magazine and Rolling Stone which is a rock magazine. I then did two magazines which are RnB; Vibe and XXL, however both of these are hip-hop magazines more than RnB which is why I believe there is a gap in the market for an RnB magazine. The next thing I must do is to analyse four magazine articles from different types of magazines, so I can see a wide variety and see what I should be doing for my music magazine.
This coursework is a lot of work and I know that I am going to have to use my time wisely to get my work done and I am going to have to work very hard to try and do my work to a high standard. I am a perfectionist which makes it very hard for me to do work which I believe is the best I can do, I always think i can do better, even if I not sure how to. Below is my front cover analysis.

RnB magazine!

I was introduced to my coursework and understood what I have got to do. I have already done a bit of planning for my magazine; I have decided that my magazine is going to be an R'n'B magazine and I have planned other things, such as the target audience which is going to be 16-18 year olds, however My teacher says I need to go in to more detail on my target audience and I been considering it but I still have not decided on the demographic yet and there is so much more I have to consider which is quite scary at the moment.
There is still so much to do and the final deadline of Feb 11th (the day after my birthday) is going to come really quickly, so I better get started!
