2. What kind of music will your magazine
focus on?
My music magazine will be focusing on pop music and what is
the most listened to songs/artists at the moment as well as
upcoming artists so that people will be interested all the time.
3. What will your magazine be called?
My magazine will be called ‘pop-ular’ as it fits in well with the
genre and was chosen the most on the survey.
Feedback
The title for the magazine was liked amongst the audience and as I will be
talking about music that is important to the fans as well as what they are
listening to at the current time then it links in well to the information inside
also.
4. Will you feature a single artist or a band on
your Front Cover?
Judging from my survey I will have a solo female artist on the
front cover as it draws in the audience’s attention more than a
band would when it comes to a pop magazine.
Feedback
They agreed that a solo female artist will be a good central image for the
magazine, especially because girls are very interested in pop music and
reading magazines. Lots of teenage girls have idols and it would appeal to
them if another girl who inspires them will be on the front page and
representing the audience through their image.
5. What kind of article will be on your double page
spread?
On the double page spread it will include an interview with a
celebrity that is popular and new to the music industry. This will
engage the audience and let them find out more about the artist
and the latest gossip about their lives.
Feedback
An interview is a good idea to include on a double page spread because you
can cover a lot of information and topics over two pages. It also allows the
audience to learn more about the artist/s and what is going on in their life.
6. What colour scheme will your magazine have?
The most liked colour to appear on the survey was pastel colours
which shows a mature but laid back theme representing the
audience and will attract them most when reading a magazine.
These will be a mix of pastel pinks so that it appeals to the
female gender.
Feedback
The focus group agreed that pastel colours show a mature theme and the
idea of pink is a good colour as it associates with girls. In addition it will work
well with the central image and stand out from the background so it will
attract them to the magazine even more.
7. How much will it cost?
I have decided to price my magazine at £2.50. This is because
people equally thought that up to £2.00 was acceptable for a
pop magazine as well as up to £3.00. By doing this I have made a
negotiation and met in the middle.
Feedback
The group felt that it was a reasonable price as I have taken into consideration
the thoughts of those from the survey and have met straight through the
middle which will appeal to a lot of people as it is not expensive compared to
some other music magazines.
