1. Proposal
My proposal is going to be called ‘THE HITS’. This is because many pop genre songs are seen
as ‘hits’ so this implies that my magazine will not only include lots of hit songs and artist, but
it will be a hit magazine itself.
I have chosen to use the pop genre for my magazine as it is a very popular genre in the
charts. There are many known bands and artists that in to the pop genre that I can feature in
my magazine.
My target audience is going to be teenage girls from about 11-16. This is because the general
theme of the magazine is going to contain typically girly colours such as pink and purple.
Also my magazine is going to contain stereotypically boy bands and male artists as they seem
to be most popular.
My front page is going to have the title of my magazine across the top, along with the
dateline. I am then going to have a main image with cover lines around it, including a main
cover line. There is going to be a footer at the bottom and the barcode.
My contents page is going to include different topics of pages, such as the numbers of the
‘fashion’ related pages are going to be together. I will include some images of featured bands
and put numbers on them, instead of using words for some of the pages.
My double page spread is going to be an exclusive interview with one of the bands or artists
that I decide to put in my magazine. The interview is going to be in a questionnaire type style
with a main image in the middle then the questions around the sides and bottom of the
picture.
The photographs that I take will be of any artists or bands that I decide to put into my
magazine. These will be photos of the ‘models’ that I will be using around college. I am
considering having a boy band, a male artist, and a couple of female artists in my magazine
as they will be put into the contents page.
