Title

Medley
The name is unique and clearly shows that this is a musical magazine because
medley is a musical term. The name itself is chilled yet modern, reflecting the
genre of R&B. The name also proved the most popular in the questionnaire.

Genre
R&B
I have chosen this genre because it is popular and has a wide audience base. It is
also popular amongst my target audience. I also personally enjoy R&B and am
familiar with its concept.

Target Audience
16-18, college students, male & female
My target audience is college students both male and female. I am a college
student myself, so know what this age group look for. R&B is not stereotyped to
one gender either, so I want my magazine to appeal to both males and females.
