The magazine will be called "replay" and focus on charting popular mainstream music from the month it was written. The target audience will be people aged 17-24 with an interest in modern music. The magazine's unique selling point will be its low price, appealing to its target audience of students and low-income workers with limited disposable income. Photos will feature artists dressed in modern styles, and a plain white backdrop will keep the layout simple and easy to understand, giving it a professional look. Bold fonts in black, white, and red will be used to make headlines eye-catching while keeping the design mature.
