The genre of music that I am going for is Jazz music. I will use informationfrom this magazine that I have found from Jazz Improv so the content will bebased around Jazz, and will also use props such as a vinyl, saxophones etc.However, I will be using various bright colours (showing its for both genders)and various typeface to attract youths as my target audience is teens/20s.Also for my main image, I will use a young teen to show the music is forpeople around this age range. These are the conventions I got from NME.My aim is to modernise a jazz music magazine to that youths will be attractedto, and to fill a gap in the market as this is a unique idea.
