Brief

I am going to make a music magazine that is aimed at older teenagers. This will have a similar target audience to the Billboard magazine. My magazine will be a pop magazine. 

My magazine will have a big picture as the background of the front cover and the name of the magazine will be along the top. The picture will be of the three members of the band ‘Wrong Direction’, with the headline along the bottom. The contents page will have the page numbers and what is on each page in the middle under a big picture of the main band. There will be small pictures along the side to suggest what is on the other pages. There will be charts down one side like the Billboard magazine. The double page spread will have one big picture of the band then small pictures of them around it with the writing underneath. There will be small pictures of each member of the band as well as as small pictures of all three of them.  

The target audience will be late teens early twenties. Although most pop magazines are aimed at 11-15 year olds, my magazine is going to have an older and more sophisticated style to it. After doing research on magazines like Billboard I have found that pop magazines can have an older look to them. This will be my target audience because I feel that people around that age will be able to connect better with my magazine and that it will interest them more than 11-15 year olds. The colour scheme suggests that it is aimed at an older audience, along with the layout of the magazine.
