What will my magazine be?

My magazine will be done on the pop genre, I have chosen pop as I am a pop fan myself and prefer the layout of the pop magazines i have seen.

Target audience:
                         I will be aiming my magazines at 16-18 year olds. As this is my age group.
                         The gender will be for both male and females. Which will get more sales
                         The social status will be for teens, however for more mature teenagers.
                         The price range will be on a subscription bases of £4.99 per month. which will include
                         a digital copy, which rivals the billboard magazine which will allow my magazine to
                         make more sales.
                         My magazine will feature bands such as One Direction, Justin Bieber and Little Mix
                         range of bands will allow my magazine to appeal to the target audience i have set.

Style Model 3

This Magazine is my second style model,I have chosen this because i think it has a really professional look, I also think that the design is very well laid out as the cover lines are distributed around Noel Galagers head giving it a very funky design while still  keeping Noel Galager the centre of the page. Having the background a light shade of blue in a gradient fading to white this gives the magazine cover editor the ability to use whatever colour he wants for the text allowing the unique colour choices. This Magazine comes from the Q Magazine company. Which is a Magazine which covers all genres and is targeted at young professionals.

The Q magazine comes in 3 separate packages,
The Print, The Digital and The Print and Digital package. 
The cheapest package is priced at 30-35 pound.

Style Model 2

This Magazine is my second style model,I have chosen this because i think it has a really professional look, I also think that the design is very well laid out as the cover lines are distributed between the top and the bottom of the page, so that the artist BOWIE stands out clearly in the centre of the magazine allowing the readers to see immediately who the main taking point of the issue is.Having the background all black is a very nice feature as it makes the image stand out as the image is in white .This Magazine comes from the MOJO Magazine company. Which is a Magazine which covers all genres.







This magazine is on a monthly cost of



Per month. 

Style Models

This is my first style model i have chosen. I have chosen this because i think it has a really professional look, I also think that the design is very well laid out as the cover lines are all put over to the left so that "Trey Songz" stands out to advertise the magazine as it grabs the audiences attention immediately.

Having the background blurred out also is a very nice feature as it doesn't take away what the image is trying to say to us.

This Magazine comes from the billboard Magazine company.

This magazine is on a subscription only price starting from $9.99 a month.

The company publish 44 magazines a year and have done over 127 volumes.

Music Genre's That Interest Me.

The Music Genre that interests me is the pop genre. It interests me because the picture on the front cover can be as unique as you like because every artist in the pop genre want to be "unique" so they show there personality through the front cover. For example...

In this picture Justin Bieber and Usher are trying to use the image to show that they have a good friendship, while still showing there "unique" personality.
