While deciding the basics of our magazine our group decided upon a genre called Japop which is a hybrid of two tribes, we therefore have to carefully consider the different techniques to use to make our genre original and interesting.
My group and I have decided to make a magazine with a new genre; our idea is to create a music hybrid. Japop, a mixture of both Jazz and Pop, which includes certain qualities from each genres of music. Qualities which could be music involved, appearance or characteristics of the certain artists e.g. age group/ genders. An example of this could be, a slow song, which can be linked to both genres, with electric guitar which is well known for certain pop songs. Along side that might be a saxophone or other brass instruments which are orientated with Jazz, these various mixtures for various songs could instate to the perspective audience how ‘Japop’ is created.

Update
My flat plans for my issue of our group’s magazine are completed and I have annotated them in detail. Our group began by sitting together and making House style flat plans that everyone would follow when designing the flat plans for their individual issues of the magazine, making each issue easily identifiable to our particular magazine. Then using the house style flat plans we each had to draw up our own issues. After drawing my front cover, single page contents and double page article flat plans I began annotating them, basically explaining the reasoning behind each feature and how it will look, how the magazines will target our appropriate audience and finally how our we are conforming to our selected design (house style).
Audience research results
After getting people to fill out the questionnaires to aid our group when making decisions for our magazine, I put our responses into graphs and charts to easily portray the results.
