Jack listens to mostly rap and Rnb which he has done since he started lisening to music. He is an easy going, funny character and is thoughtwell of by almost everyone he knows. Jack reads music magazines but his favourite is VIBE. he buys vibe because he likes its style and its features. because he like rnb and rap, vibe covers all these areas. i think Jack would like my magazine because it will cover his favourite type of  music.
another target audience could be :
jamal is a 19 year old mixed race student living in london. he works part time at his local music shop, which he has been going to since he was around 10. Jamal is currently working on his debut rap album, at his local recording studio. he left school at 16 to pursue his dream of becoming a rap artist. jamal's style is mixed, depending on what hes doing. when he is socialising with freinds his style is urban. tracksuit bottoms with air max trainers and a casual top, but branded. for more important occasions, jamal's stlye is slightly indie with chinos and converse trainers or vans. he wears a smart casual shirt. he reads various music magazines,including VIBE which is his favourite, and he has been reading that since he was 12. i think jamal would like my magazine because it is going to be bright,appealing and have the similar features of vibe.

target audience

Vibe is a music and entertainment magazine founded by producer Quincy Jones. The publication predominantly features R&B and hip-hop music artists, actors and other entertainers.The magazine's target demographic is predominantly young, urban followers of hip-hop culture.

Vibe magazine has a total audience of 2.4 million, with an almost 50:50 split of gender readers. 55% of the total audience are men, with 45% women. The age range of the magazine vaires form18 to 35 plus. 67% of readers are aged 18-34. also, 29% are 35 plus. this indicates that a wide range of people read the magazine and therefore my target market will be large. also, the median age of all readers was 30. this is a suprising fact,as i thougth it was mostly young people who read it.

another fact about vibe, which is not so suprising is that 55% of all readers are in college education. hence why the magazine is usually bright, appealing and relativly cheap. also, 62% of readers are employed, so the magazine can afford to be a little dearer than usual, because over half of the readers are employed, meaning they will have more money to spend on magazines.

The ethnic background of readers is dominated by black african americans, with 75% of all readers being this ethnicity. the rest is made up of white(15.9%), spanish/hispanic/latino(12.4%) and asian(1%). other races account for 11.3% of the magazines readers. the major audience then is black african americans. this does not suprise me as the majority of rap/hiphop/RnB artists are black or african american.

i chose this cover because it is appealing to me, as is it is to anyone who knows anything about football. also, the colour and style is appealing.

Prelim Evaulation

 My prelim represents students that seem to be

easy going, well dressed with a sense of style. all in the chaos of the run up to january exam. the prelim is that the model is still acting cool whilst everyone else seems to be fretting about the exams.

with a sharp, smart photo on the cover, and using a repititive colour scheme. the colour scheme matches because of the logo and standard black text. the photo draws the target market's eye and then the text on the front draws them in.

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

I have learnt that there is easier ways to cut out an object from a background that just using the magnetic lasso tool to go all the way around, you can use the magic wand tool to delete big chunks of it. I have also learnt thart you cna import pictures to be a background of a page.
