3. Genre
• The genre of my music magazine will be pop, as I
have found out from research that pop is mainly
preferred by many people, besides this is also my
ideal genre of music.
4. Target Audience
• The target audience for my music magazine will be
older teenagers/young adults, ages 16-21 years old.
As I believe that they are the age groups that are
likely to listen to pop music. The gender of my
audience will be females.
5. Similar Magazines
• My magazine will be similar
to these magazines, the only
different thing is that my
magazine will be a music
magazine.
• The things that will be the
same are the layout,
composition, so where each
convention will be placed. It
will be a monthly magazine,
meaning that the front cover
will be less busy.
6. Masthead Ideas
• Replay – relates well to music and songs,
by referring to the replay button.
• Repeat – I thought repeat will be suitable
for a music magazine masthead as it easily links to
music. When you think of the word repeat, you
immediately think ‘music’.
• Shuffle- this word relates to songs, when
you think of ‘shuffle’ you think of songs, different
genres of music, however my magazine will only be
based on pop.
• Play – I like this masthead idea because it
easily links to music and its short and snappy.
• TuneIn – this masthead sounds classy and
very unique to other magazines.
7. I created a poll on my
website, and got people to
vote which masthead they
thought was the best, and
most appropriate for a pop
magazine. Most people
voted ‘repeat’. I think the
typography is suitable for a
music magazine, and is also
most importantly easily
read.
