Favourite current Magazines

My target audience for my music magazine would include those who are dedicated fans of the pop genre. I have concluded that this is a genre which mostly entices the young female population, stereotypically due to the connotations of „fangirls‟ for the male artists of pop. The age range that it would be vastly secluded too would be 12-16 year olds, I feel as if this is an appropriate sample and the girls within this age range would be the type that enjoy buying and reading a magazine monthly and would happily buy one with pocket money. I took this into consideration when deciding the price of my product, making it cheap enough for the young readers to buy themselves and feel as if it is worth the money they paid, therefore the content I included would appeal to them and include information and articles they would opt to read and enjoy. I anticipated that they would also be the readers of current existing music magazines such as, We Love Pop, Top of the Pops and Shout therefore I must comply with this competition in mind. They would also additionally have interests like dancing, shopping, make up, twitter, hair and beauty and specifically boy bands who are within the pop genre. During there spare time they would typically be dancing, on social media and listening to music. They would also be the type to go to concerts regularly when their favourite artist goes on tour. The social media they may use is twitter, facebook and Youtube, these are methods of keeping up to date with celeb gossip and latest music releases including the video, they may also have a fan account for their favourite pop artist.

“From my first glance I could tell it was a pop magazine aimed at girls. I really like the layout and I think it looks very conventional of a pop magazine‟‟

Chloe Nunan aged 16

“The image of One Direction and the cover line „1Dful prizes to be won‟ is the thing that enticed me into your magazine, I think its creative and it would definitely make me want to buy it if I saw it in the shops”

Sally Wilkinson aged 17

“The colours work well together and they stand out really well‟‟

Courtney Thomas aged 19
