Change Pictures

As i was looking through my pictures, i didn't like them. i believe they were good pictures in terms of them being clear and focused, but i don't believe that they matched my own vision for my gospel magazine. i needed to change my models and there clothing, to fit with the image i want for my magazine. Also have a variety of angles to make the magazine more interesting. I will take my pictures again and this time pay more attention to detail in order for my magazine to be a sucess

Double page spread article


Exclusive interviews

 

When and why did you start the band?

 

We started the band in 2009 when we were all in year 9. It was originally us two [Tashana+Ray] and we were called TR2 but we didn’t really like performing  we preferred to write the music, so we decided we need to find somebody to be the face of out group

[Yasmin] Then I came along

[ALL] laugh

[Ray] We Met Yasmin at a gospel concert she performed [Rapped] and after we exchanged numbers.

[Sheneka] we started practising, even over Skype, but our connection weren’t too great. So we met every Wednesday and our flow was just immense.

[Yasmin] I always wanted to be apart of a group, I weren’t really feeling being a solo artist and with the help of God he placed me in this

group. By the then we changed our name to Trinity and the machines

 

How would you describe your band genre?

We only rap and sing gospel lyrics we have a kind of Rnb vibe.

We do have a few pop song on our album….

This is coming out January 2013!!

When I write the lyrics I just get into my element that’s what I love to do, writing about God and what he has done for me just make think about we all have come from.

 

 

What was your life like before you broke out into the industry?

 

[Yasmin]Well i used to be a part of a gang just doing badness and my life was very eventful but for all the wrong reasons. I used to rep e7 now I rep the guy in heaven

 Then I don’t know how but then I started writing Christian lyrics.

I just used to party drink smoke weed and cause trouble. I would come home so late every day just because I could.  Some people would have called me a hood girl and back then I thought it was such a good thing to be hood but I know it’s pretty sad. I thought the way I could express myself was to fight and be rude to people. Then I found music I was first writing lyrics for the rap videos repping my area.

To cut the long story short I realised i wasn’t about that life of sin and i found church and then I met these lot...

 

What’s your next goal?

 

[Yasmin] well we have made it big in England especially London now I think we want our music to go to America see if we can take it to the USA.

[Ray] we were happy when we heard our song on the radio for the first time and to hear them in American would be AMAZING!

[Tashana] I’d also like to get some awards maybe a few Brit awards. Something to put on the wall.

 Were eager to make another album even though the first one hasn’t come out yet I’m looking forward to starting writing some more lyrics.

Target Audience profile




Psychographics

Psychographics is the study of qualities, principles, attitudes, interests, and lifestyles. Psychographic studies of individuals or communities can be valuable in the fields of marketing.

The type of person that would buy the magazine is the mainstream / succeeder type of person, they are the people that think about other rather than themselves also they are more likely to respond to family brands but also their self confident and because a Gospel magazine or not as popular as pop- or rock magazines have to be a bit more confident.



                             

Uses and Gratifications

Uses and Gratifications Theory is a method to understanding why people actively look for in specific media outlets and content for gratification purposes. The theory discusses how users proactively search for media that will not only meet a given need but also enhance awareness, public interactions and diversion.
It assumes that members of the audience are not passive but take an active role in interpreting and integrating media into their own lives.
I want people to be able to learn some things form my magazine e.g. how to become an artist. But I also want young teens that have jobs or study to have some time to escape from things. Its something to take you minds off of things. They could show their friends what there reading and introduce them to there genre. This magazine is there to discover up and coming artists to celebrate the old ones.
