Music Magazine Research 1

The title of this magazine is 'WE (love) POP' I think this was chosen as the title because by saying 'WE' it makes the audience feel part of a group and supported in your like for 'POP' which is also emphasised by the use of the speech bubble. By using a love heart instead of the word love it will appeal the target audience more because its quirky just like pop music is. The title is bold and stands out so the audience will know exactly what the magazine is about, pop.

The main image is of Olly Murs this would attract the niche audience as they will be interested in Olly Murs, the main story is 'Olly's secret romance revealed'  this would also attract the niche audience as they will want to know the latest gossip about his love life. Some of the smaller images are of One Direction, The Wanted and other male pop artists. This would attract the target audience as they will mostly be teenage girls interested in boys. Some of the feature stories include 'ZIALL the other 1D bromance' this would attract the niche audience as they will want to know all about One Direction and all the new gossip about them. Another story is 'take splat! what's made The Wanted muckier than ever?' this would also attract the target audience because the question draws them and they will want to know the answer.  There is also stories about JLS and Union J which will attract fans of them and create a larger audience. Finally there is a advise section 'get some catwalk cool this Christmas' this will attract the target audience as they will admire there favourite celebrities and will want to be like them.
The main font used is quirky and interesting which will attract the target audience and draw them in. The colour scheme used is pink and blue, the pink and blue will attract the target audience as they will mostly be teenage girls.
The magazine includes all the typical conventions such as:
  • Date
