My Artist.

BIG SNIPE (real name is Jordan Drone) is an american hip hop artist, raised in the west coast. He is signed by DEF JAM records and is really big in the states and has done records with Jay-Z and Lloyd Banks but is still yet to come through to Europe but is working his way there. His musical inspiration are mainly people that he has worked with for example Jay-Z and T.I. are his biggest music idols. The stlye of music he has been gifted in his his poetical lyrics in a Hip Hop nature, it allows the people to get a feel of his life and he had worked so hard to get wear he is today. He performed in street rap battles, which lead to monetary rap battles and then performed in a small hall near his place of birth in Philadelphia. He was adored by people which lead to him to be heard of by DEF JAM and they got to know him and his work and decided to sign him. He has a mix of slow beats to heavy bass beats and raps above them which is difficult to do this mix but he brings it to the music world. His hard work and determination lead from sticking posters up on his wall of his idols, to actually being able to produce a track with; this brings across inspiration to young artists out there and is another reason why he is adored so much.

Mock up drawings- front page.

I have drawn these designs for the front cover of my magazine and have decided to go with the name 'THE LOOT'. Any feedback would be helpful :).

Mock up example.

Whilst I was making my mock up for my magazine, I looked at a book with magazine covers in it and took a picture of one that I liked and may use inspiration from.

Review on my Pitch.

Overall, my pitch went really well most, if not all, people understood what i was doing and could tell by the data that i had provided the types of artists i was going to use, the colour scheme and what type of magazines mines could relate to. The feedback i got by people was brilliant, better than i had expected it to be. Many of my peers told me that my pitch was one of the best in the class; the questions people asked me let me give abit more information about my magazine but it wasnt a lot. Questions that i was asked were: What the name of my magazine may be, why i chose the price of my magazine to be at the top end. I answered these questions in a straight foward manner and let people understand the name and pricing of my magazine.
Forunately, the teacher came up to me afterwards and told me that my presentation was one of the best in the class. I can look at other peoples blogs to see what they've written on their blogs about my magazine and pitch; this allows me to get aa clearer idea of what people like about my magazine and any drawbacks in it. This will be very useful for when i start developing my magazine.

After i had done mine, several other peers had done their's too and there was a great variety of different types of music genres however i noticed that indie and rock and pop. I am eager to start designing my magazine because i have got all my research and audience and feedback so i think i am quite ready to get on a start making my music magazine.
