My idea for a music magazine will be teenage/pop themed aimed mainly at girls aged 16-18.

 Its main selling points will be:

·         The front cover, as this will be the first thing the buyer looks at, it will be suited for the age and the gender that it is made for by having a sophisticated and ordered layout. The colour scheme will be brightly coloured so that it will stand out to the buyer. There will also be pictures of celebrities on the front cover that are young so that the audience will know them and be able to recognise them straight away.

·         The articles relate to girls and people who are interested in famous Pop-stars who have current upbeat music out in the charts.
·         I also plan to appeal to this target audience by the things i am including in it, for example I will do this by making the front cover of the magazine the most appealing it could be to draw the audience in and make the target audience buy it. I will do this by arranging it in an ordered and mature way, while keeping the cover-lines about relevant subjects and in places that they will be seen through different routes of address. Its colour and font scheme will also be clear and attractive to make it easy to read and appealing which will be a big out to the audience.
·         The colour scheme that I choose will be the overall theme for the front cover and contents page to keep it simple and then different or additional colours will be used on the double page article spread to make it look more appealing and different to the rest of the magazine.
·         For example the feature of the magazines (interview of artists on front cover) will have a different colour scheme that perhaps relates to that artist in some way as well as the audience which will give the audience an idea and link things.
·         On the contents page and throughout the magazine there will be articles about various famous singers that are in the current charts, interviews with other music stars, a poster section, reviews of artists, singles and albums, tour dates of boy solo singers. The interviews will be of music stars that are young to relate to my young target audience, they will be of both male and females.
·         As my magazine needs to appeal to girls, I will also include recent news about music stars and things that they have been wearing as in my questionnaire the interests on girls included gossip and fashion.
·         The image of the celebrity on my front cover will either be a girl who is fashionable and successful or a boy who is attractive and successful to appeal to the female audience as well as the music side. Or I could have both as also in my questionnaire people said that they like more than just one photo on the front cover.
·         I think that my magazine will be extremely successful as i have made sure that i will include all the things they said they would expect to see in a music magazine and the other answers will let me appeal to my specific target audience well. I also plan to keep it at a reasonable price of £2-£3 so that it is affordable for young teenagers who currently are at school or in higher education, as they cannot afford high costs.
