Briar-Rose Wilding proposes launching a pop music magazine targeted at 15-25 year olds of both genders. She conducted research including surveys and focus groups to design the magazine to appeal to this audience. The magazine will include articles on popular artists, news, interviews, posters and charts. It will use bright colors, images and other conventions of pop music magazines. The first issue will feature stories on One Direction and new artists. The informal but sometimes formal tone aims to represent her target audience. She believes the magazine will succeed by providing inclusive content for both genders at an affordable price.

1. My Pitch
BY BRIAR-ROSE WILDING

2. Over View
 I am making a pop music magazine for the ages of 15-25. My
magazine will be for both genders and it will have articles that suit
boys, suit girls and some that will suit both. I am hoping that my
magazine will in Interest BBC so that they will publish it.

3. Why Should You Publish My Magazine?
 My magazine is suited to the BBC as it is a music magazine for the
ages 15-25 and I know that the BBC publish music magazine with
the same target audience. I also think my magazine is suited to the
BBC as it includes artist that feature on BBC radio and TV.

4. My Magazine Layout and Design
 My magazine is bright and colourful and that suits my target audience as I did a survey and focus research to find out
what my readers would want to see in a magazine and what they would want to be included and from that information I
was able to make my magazine so that it suited my target audience. My magazine isn’t too feminine so it detracts boys
and my magazine isn’t too masculine so girls don’t read it is made so they it attracts to both female and male audiences.

5. Content Of My First Magazine
 My first issue of my magazine will include lots of information about different artists. For example it will
include such things as
- Information about One Direction Splitting
- Special features of new artists
- Free posters
- Top Ten songs this week
- Main article about a new found artist
And Much more. My magazine will always include latest news and interviews so that my readers can find
information about their favourite bands and artists fine out when they go on tour and much more. My
magazine isn’t just about reading about pop music its about the readers being able to find more
information about their hero’s.

6. Target Audience
 My target audience is from the ages of 15-25. I have
come up with this target audience as i sent out a quiz
and the people who took my survey were in this age
range. This target audience will help benifit my
magazine as the artists include will be the sort they
listen to as at the ages of 15-25 they will be listening to
music wether it revising or partying.
 My target is aimed at boys and girls as when i looked at
other magazine like Top Of The Pops i saw that it was
mainly girls who read it and when i did some research i
saw there werent any pop music magazines for boys. So
i have made my magazine suited to boys aswell as girls.

7. Genre And Conventions
 My magazine will be a pop music magazine as from looking around there arent actually many pop magazines about and i
would like to change that.
 In my magazine i will include conventions that you would typically see in a pop music magazine, For example i will incude
things like
- bold font
- bright colours
- images
- rule of three
- route of eye
I will use all of these so that people will be able to see its a pop music magazine when they see it in a store or on a shelf
anywhere.

8. Mode Of Address
My magazine will be informal but at the same formal as my
target audience is ages 15-25 many of these will still be in
education and will use infromaly language but on some of my
articles i will use formal as it will be needed in some context.
I might use some colloquial language in my magazine as many
teenagers text their friends by using slang and would use this
type of language so this type of language helps represents my
target audience.

9. Why my magazine will be a success….
My magazine will be a success as it will be including lots of information about the pop
industry, it will also include freebies like posters. My magazine will also be a huge
success as my magazine isnt just for boys, or just for girls it is for both genders meaning
it will including different things that boys will like, that girls will like and both genders
will like. Which means more people will buy it as its not just one gender its both.
My magazine is also cheap meaning people will want to buy it as its cheaper then the
rest of the magazines. It will also include brand new features, new tour that are coming
up, tour dates for artists , the latest new and much more.
