I am aiming my magazine specifically at teenage girls around the age of (13-17) because this is the audience of which enjoys pop music the most and who other pop magazines aim their magazines at. I will use features such as gossip and stories of male artists as these seem to be things typically used by other pop magazines to appeal to their target audience.
On the front cover i will use an image of either a happy smiling female or a picture of a good-looking boy as these are the two types of images generally used with in other front covers of pop magazines. I will go about taking it by taking a straight on medium close up from about the waste up, I won't care about the background as i will get rid of it to use a plain background or maybe a themed background.
The genre of music my magazine will be themed around is pop, this is because from my questionnaire results pop music came out to be the most populist.
My magazine will generally be about things such as concerts, winning tickets for concerts, gossip on well known popular artists, up and coming stars.
My ideas for cover lines include: Jingle Bell Ball Countdown, X-Factor Rankings, Miley Cyrus gone crazy.
I have decided on a title called 'Love Pop' i like this title because i think its quite girly and cute. Furthermore i think i can do a range of things with this title for example with the word 'Love' i would like to change the 'o' into a love heart because i think this will make my title more cute and girly and appealing to target audience.
The type of font i want to use is like serif bubble writing kind of font, as i think again it makes my magazine more suited to girls so therefor more suited to my target audience.
I will use a cheesy tagline such as something like 'Like Live Love Pop', so something that uses lots of alliteration so it is easily remembered and liked.
Mine will be published around christmas so i can use a christmas themed issue for its arrival so i have lots to talk about and so it will be popular as everyone will have money to buy it. Also i think this is a perfect time to publish it as the Jingle Bell Ball is coming soon and i can advertise the chance to win tickets of which will persuade people. Furthermore i could include weekly gifts for the countdown to christmas to persuade people to buy it as people like free stuff.
I would like to publish this magazine every week so the information is constantly up to date and so it keeps the readers interested because if i released one once a month people may loose interest for it as there are other magazines they can buy that provide unto to date information of which they want.
My magazine will be of a normal A4 size as this is generally the size of most magazines.
For the contents page i would use colours i used with on the front cover of which will be christmas themed so i will probably be using christmas themed colours on my contents page too. This is because a magazine looks more professional when colours used through out are consistent. Furthermore I will use pictures of maybe like christmas trees with in my contents page with maybe someone dressed up as an elf pretending to be some famous singer as this will add a funny side to my magazine so again will appeal to my target audience because it makes my magazine seem fun.
Lastly my magazine will be at a price of £1.50 as this is cheep so will persuade people to buy it more because it is affordable. Furthermore most teenage girls generally don't have a job so rely on pocket money from parents so this price would be definitely with in their pocket money allowance.
