  When doing myresearch before making the magazine I did a little research about the genre I was using for my magazine. I found out that Pop music is normally targeted at the younger audience varying from 13 to 19, this is why when it came to adding context in to the magazine I added artists that were well known and had a big fandom to entice my audience. I also found out that girls are more likely to buy and listen to pop music than boys, hence why I made my music magazine a little girly, using colours such as pink and purple. When it comes to class I think middle/working class are more likely to buy it than someone who is upper class, this is because they may be in to high culture, like classical music. Sexuality and physical ability doesn’t really effect my magazine, because it’s aimed at everyone from the ages 13 and above, it wouldn't make a difference if you’re sexuality was difference or you weren’t physically able.

  I think thatmy magazine would probably represent teenagers who want to know the latest music, hear the latest things and want to be up to top with the music industry. The language I use in my magazine is a little informal, this is because the magazine is aimed at 13 year olds and above, they would rather read something they get and something that’ll interest them. When making my double page spread, I used one page for the image and the other for the article, as images attract people and too much writing may put them off. All these combine together representing the group I target which is the only explained above.

  Since it’s aimedat teenagers 13 and above I made sure to make it look interesting to tempt my audience in to buying it, I put in interesting images. I think a major thing that’ll entice my audience is the sell lines as they consists of world wide known artists, as well as at the bottom of my magazine which includes two life size posters which might gain my magazine some more customers.

  My magazine conformsto certain teenager stereotypes like pop magazines being targeted at girls more than boys as it seems to interest them more, as pop magazines consist of bright colours, bold images and bold fonts, which typically attracts the female eye more. My magazine also subverts as Pop magazines normally have really colourful contents and crammed front pages, whereas mine is more spaced out maybe attracting an older audience as well as a younger audience.
