Magazine Preparation Task

I have chosen to make a pop magazine as it is what I listen to. I know a lot about the genre and the artist it involves. It will appeal to the audience as the artists they like

and look up to will be fetured in the magazine.

I will include a front cover, contents page and a two page spread which features popular artists that the target audience will know and be interested in.

I will have a vast amount of images throught the magazine with the artists talked about representing them as happy charicters to match their music and the pop genre and giving the magazine connotations of happiness. I will get these images from conserts I have been to and by taking images of myself and friends posing as artists. The images will feature a lot of bright colours and will generally fill the pages as this will appeal more to my younger target audience.

My target audience will be female teens aged 12-18 in section D on the audience code.

My magazine will be origional as all of the images will be my own plus all of the stories, I will also include new artists which I think would appeal to the target audience.

My main artice will be about the new popular artist on the music scene including an interview with the artist where she tells us how she feels about this new lifestyle and how her life has changed, inside stories and a lot of images sprawled across the double page spread.

I will ensure that my magazine looks perfessional by researching other music magazines of the same genre that are already on the market and have been successful. Seeing their layout of pages and types of images they have used could help inspire me and influence how I make my pages look. From the font styles I should be using and colour schemes to the types of shots I should use and style of the celebrities when taking my images.

The name of my magazine will be Tune as it is short, modern and catchy, corresponds with the music theme and will appeal to the target audience.
