popular in the music industry. I would like to

catching and stands out. I would put this text in

2. Pop Forever
I have chosen to use the name ‘pop forever’ for my magazine. This is because I feel that
it is attractive and instantly tells the reader the genre of the magazine. Pop Forever
connotes that pop music is a popular genre for teens and young adults. The biggest
genre of music is pop, therefore including this in the name will attract people to the
magazine because they like that type of genre.
3. Magazine Content
• Cover story about the latest X-Factor news, this is because this show is
very popular with my target audience for my magazine, and the judge
Cheryl is the most popular judge on the panel who is loved my most young
teens.
• Cover story about new albums, I will include this because the artist is
popular with the target audience and will be interested in the new
song/albums.
• Cover story about One Direction, this is because this group is one of the
most popular groups in the world with young teens, who are my target
audience.
• Cover story about high street buys, this is because my target audience are
young teens who are very much interested in fashion and what celebrities
wear so they can be able to wear the same clothing as them.
• Posters of celebrities, this is because teens want to be able to have the
ability to tear out a poster which they can stick on their wall which will be
of their idol.
4. Puff Promotions
• When creating my music magazine I plan to
add in small puff promotions for my target
audience. This is because puff promotions are
attractive to readers as they want the change
to ‘win’ something for ‘free’. For my target
audience the puff promotions will be:
• Tickets to concerts
• Meet the band
• Win technology
5. Colour Scheme
• When creating my music magazine my target
audience are girls aged 11-15. Girls this age
normally enjoy bright bold colours which are very
eye-catching. Therefore I will be adding in:
• Pinks and Purples which connotes that the
magazine is for girls as this is normally their
favourite colour.
• Adding these colours gives the magazine a girly
identity as these colours are normally associated
with girls
