The Role of Surveys

 Surveys

          Today I brainstormed other ways I can get to know my audience on a deeper level. I decided that a survey would be a great way to do so. Surveys are one of the most commonly used strategies to gather and analyze information. They are a great help towards assessing opinions, thoughts, and feelings which is exactly what I need to do so I can construct my magazine in the best way to cater to my audience. Not only did I learn that using a survey will help me get to know my audience better but it can also be used as interactive content within my magazine. In my upcoming posts, I will take you guys along with me through the process of conducting my own survey.

Costume and Props

  Costumes and Props         Before taking my shots that I will be using in my magazine, I decided to research what goes into the appearance of musicians. Exploring this topic can help me ensure that my models fit the "look" of the magazine. Artists are also known for what they wear by their audience members and the props they use in each genre have a particular design that is almost like a dress code, costumes and props that allow the art to be used.  allow the artist to connect with the audience’s representation of how artists within the genre are seen. Although sometimes these representations are challenged as the artists outer appearance becomes a symbol to their music.      RnB artists show off their wealth from their outer appearance, they pair simple clothing with large and expensive looking jackets and coats. Jewelry such as chains, watches, rings etc are worn and often grills are shown on their teeth - this is to make ...
