Question Three Evaluation

The IPC Media (International Publishing Company) was formed in 1963 after the UK three leading magazine companies merged together. Then IPC Magazines were produced 5 years later in 1968.

IPC Media produces over 85 iconic media brands, with our print brands alone reaching almost two third of UK women and 44% of UK men-almost 27 million UK adults.

If my magazine would be sold in reality I would choose IPC Media to distribute it. I feel my magazine would be suitable for IPC to distribute as from researching there company I feel their target audience is mainly women as they have distributed high selling magazines such as Mizz, Look and Marie Claire.  I feel my magazine is a genre of magazine that hasn’t been covered by IPC Media yet so I feel this could attract a different audience who are interested in R&B music. This could lead into more sales of their female dominated target audience’s magazines.  By using IPC Media to distribute my magazine, I feel they would be able to get my magazine to my target audience easily as they’ve got a huge audience base.

Double Page Spread Design.

This is the final design of my double page spread. I have chosen to use the same colours used throughout my music magazine consisting of red, blue and grey. I have also included a recurring theme of the font 'Century Gothic'. Which is used for the titles and the text included in my magazine. I also used dots to separate the text. I made the title bigger than the text so it was obvious what the pages were about. I used a pictures and made it so its almost the same size as the page. The interview i feel was informal but made professional. I like the final outcome of my double page spread as it is catches the eye of the reader but then also looks professional. 

E: This year must have been exciting for you?

F:  Yeah! Has been great. Its gone so quick and been so crazy!

E: Being very young, do you find it difficult in the music industry?

F: Erm, yes but I suppose it makes you a stronger person if you can deal with a tough industry such as this one.

E: We love your new album by the way.

F: Thank you, I wanted to inspire people to make music.  I wanted to people feel different emotions when listening to this album whether it be happiness or sadness.

E: I’m guessing with your busy schedule you don’t see many of your friends and family?

F:  No I don’t, but I jump at any chance I get to see the people I love. But they’re extremely proud of me for getting this chance of a lifetime and they support me all the way.

E: Did you always want to be a signer or was there a different career that took your fancy?

F: I don’t know, I always enjoyed singing and dancing and being the centre of attention but I never ever thought I would end up doing it as a career but as many children I dreamed of being a Princess [laughs].

E: You’ve met huge stars along the way in your success story!

F: Yeah, it’s amazing! It’s so weird when I bump into all these talented people and they know who I am!

E: You live in England so you must fly around a lot. How do you cope?

F:  I have one day a week where I relax and chill out and I watch my favourite TV shows.

E: Is there anyone your dying to meet or work with?

F:  I really want to work with a few people but especially Nicki Minaj. She is really talented and I’d love for her to rap on a song with me!

E: Thank you for speaking to us, it’s been a pleasure talking to you and good luck for the future.

F: Your very welcome and thank you so much.

Music Magazine Contents Design.

This is a design for my contents page. I carried on using the font I used on my front cover for a professional effect as they use themes throughout magazines. I cut out a picture of the model in photoshop using the pen tool and making it a clipping paths then placed it in indesign. I then outlined the photo with white to give a informal look. I then used the theme colour of red and blue and black, but added white as I used grey as the background colour. I took inspiration from another VIBE contents, who's layout was also very simple.
