MoodBoard Of Gospel Magazines

Reader Profile On A Gospel Magazine (Gospel Truth Magazine)

Having look at the statistics of this magazine, it shows that it is not relevant to my target audience. The information is interesting but within my magazine I am chosing to reach a much younger audience.

This is one of their front cover that they have used, within it they have used the following:

• Masthead- Large and eye catching
• Featured Artists
• Other Artists that are included in the magazine
• Barcode (to show price).

Although our genres of music are simular, I belive that this particular magazine is target at a more mature audince. I would then have to adjust my magazine cover by changing the style of font to a more lively a fun type, perhaps using more graphics, bright colours and catchy headline to draw the reader to my magazine.

Moodboard For My Target Audience And The Genre (Gospel Music)

This moodboard consists of things my target audience may be interested or what might get their intrest. It also helped me to become aware of the things I could possibly include in my magazine.

Within the moodboard, I chose to include fashion, accessories (such as badges/broaches) as well as religious aspects i.e The Bible which is very important considering the fact that they are my main target audience for the magazine- Christians.

The underlayer of the moodboard has small logo's of social networking sites, music sites and much more. I used this as my target audience are of the younger genration and such websites as these are ways of communicating and connecting with my target market more efficiently.

Research On Gospel Magazines

These are some other gospel magazines (and online magazines) that i have analysed to show how they appeal to their target audience.

Research On Other Gospel Blogs

This is a list and previews on other gospel music blogs that could be an insipartion to creating my blog, how to lay it out and what should be included within my magazine. after reviewing them i came to a realisation that a lot of the blogs were very dull and not eye catching. COnsidering the fact that my target audience is of the younger generation, I must ensure that i gain the attraction of my audience by the imigary, colurs, fonts etc. That would make them want to pick up and read the magazine.
