Under the heading Studies will contend of a sub heading of History & Culture. History & Culture will consist of the history and culture of r&b and slow jams.

What Possible Layout, Language and overall Style of magazine would suit this content and readership do you think? Compare to other music music publications you are familiar with.
I would have a layout that would need to stand out and catch the readers interest and attention but also at the same time be simple and uncomplicated. So I intend to avoid extravagant and exaggerated designs. The layout would need features of a music magazine. And Conventions such as music identities and propositions. This will explore the theme and genre of R&B and slow jams.
The language that would be used in my magazine to interact with its audience will be a combination of Colloquial and Expletive language. This will imply the theme of the urban style magazine.
Imagine you are the advertising executive on this magazine. What companies would you send this reader profile to in the hope of generating some advertising deals? Explain your decisions.
If I was a adverting executive I will contact sports retail stores such as JD and foot locker because it is the most known sports wear to this specific generation so if there products were to appear in my magazine young people may be inspired to my product in keeping the fondly trend. Also I would contact WH Smith because they are a major entertainment publicity in Britain in advertising music, technology and scriptures.
