Magazine Proposal

My Music Magazine..

. Name- The name of magazine is called Big Rhythmz, Inspired by 'Rhythm and Blues' (R&B). Personally, I think the name 'Big Rhythmz' portrays the Black African and American community well as R&B originated in the 1940s in America. The name also symbolises how big of an impact R&B had in society and the upbeat rhythm that came with it.

. Genre- The genre of my magazine is contemporary R&B/Hip-Hop. As this genre is the most current, most young people predominantly know what artists are in this category which allows it to cater to their interests. This genre is also a difficult one because in modern society,  R&B music videos are seen to be degrading women and glorifies crime, drugs and encourages violence. And although this is correct as it relates to some of the music, you shouldn’t paint the entire genre with the same brush. I wanted to go with a different approach to show this genre in a positive light . 

. Audience- My main target audience is catered to females aged from 17-25. This target audience is suitable as they are of working age and receiving disposable income. As the aim for my magazine is to glorify ethnic women in the male dominating music industry, women are pressured into living up to unattainable beauty standards, it's important that influential celebrities remind females to value the importance of being true to themselves rather than the stereotypical images portrayed of them in the media.
