I have created a moodboard with images that relate to the audience of my magazine. I posted it on Facebook and also asked 16 people what they thought. With it i asked a questionaire. Underneath the questions, is the most popular answer.

Yes.
2. Which colours do you feel suit the magazine most appropriately?
Black and blue.
3. Do you agree with the fashion labels I chose to represent hip-hop clothing? If not, what other brands would you choose?
Yes.
Yes.
4. Do you feel anything is missing, if so what?
No but maybe more 'bling'.
No but maybe more 'bling'.
5. What name do you think suits an urban/RnB/Hip hop magazine most?
Flava.

11. What comes to mind when you think of an ‘Urban Magazine’?

For the first question, most people agreed with the artists i chose to represent hip-hop, with a few adding extra names such as 'kid cudi' and 'drake'. This is because i only chose 6 artists, therefore people may feel their favourite artists are missing, so therefore add them in. However 13 out of 16 people said they agreed.
For the second question, everyone had different opinions. 9 people said black, 5 people said blue, 4 people said purple, 4 people said gold, 3 people said bright colours, 3 people said red, and 2 people said silver. As I gave a variety of colour choices, the answer was likely to be varied.
For the third question, everyone agreed with the fashion labels I chose, with no suggestions being made.
For the fourth question, everyone agreed with the images and words I chose to display on my moodboard, except for a few people thought I needed to add more 'bling' to give a stronger 'gangsta' effect.
For the fifth question, there was almost a split amount of votes between 'trubble' and 'flava', with flava gaining more votes.
There is proficient research into similar products and generally proficient research into a potential target audience. There is no evidence of organisation of actors, locations, costumes or props. There is no evidence of work on layouts and drafting. There is generally a proficient level of care in the presentation of the research and planning. Time management is not evidenced.
