My magazine will be called ‘Drip Drop’, a reference to ‘Hip Hop’, 'drip dropping' the latest news and reviews on Hip Hop and RnB, the genres my magazine will centre around. The magazine will be aimed mostly at 16-24 year olds.
The style of the magazine will be slightly classier and more mature than the average magazine aimed at this age group, almost like a young person’s Rolling Stone. The magazine will use sans serif fonts throughout. The house style will be light blue, gold and white, with potential for use of black to add gravitas. The front cover will have a light blue title, white background and gold cover lines.
The magazine will cost £3.99. This is the higher end of the prices people who took my survey said they’d be willing to spend, maximizing profit. The magazine will be released monthly. In each edition there will be around 80 pages.
Some sample article ideas include a piece on a white cover artist challenging racial stereotypes in the predominantly black world of hip hop, album and gig reviews and a chart. I could also include a feature on up and coming artists in the genre. The magazine would also include competitions and adverts.
The lead article or double page spread will be an interview with the cover star, a white artist challenging racial stereotypes in hip hop. The article will cover their music, past, present, future and the adversities they have faced.
The magazine will include simple images, equidistant from each other and the text and tidily set out. My lead interview with the white cover star will feature a full page image as well as other smaller images.
