2. The target audience of
Top of the Pops magazine
is young/ teenage girls.
This is clearthrough the
colour scheme of
pink, yellow, red and
white and the use of
fonts as they come across
quite feminine.
TOP OF THE POPS
Artists are presented in a
happy tone or a rather
silly tone as most artists
displayed on the
magazine are either
smiling or pulling a light
hearted, fun face.
They use the classic
convention of a masthead
and subheadings paired
with pictures. The format
is slightly different to that
of other magazines as
there is a grid showing
other artists/ celebrities
to be featured in the
magazine without any
subheadings as to what
their part in the magazine
will include. As a music
magazine they do slightly
break conventions of a
strictly music only
magazine as they include
a fairly large subheading
referring to clothing
trends.
3. MIXMAG
The target audience of
MixMag are young males
ranging from the age of
16/17-30. This is clear
from the picture used on
the front of the magazine
which is a well known
band of this particular
music genre and the
colour scheme of
black, white and grey are
more manly than
feminine. The layout is
presented in a block
form. The font is simple
and consists of the basic
colour scheme colour
mentioned previously.
The artists are presented
as older and
sophisticated. As a
collective band, the
artists are portrayed as
quirky within the picture
as they are wearing a
mixture of sporting
clothes, as musicians.
The magazine sticks to
conventions of a music
magazine as when there
are subheadings under
the band names etc, it
sticks to a topic involving
music and not their
personal lives etc as other
magazines such as Top of
the Pops does.
4. The target audience of ‘We Love
Pop’ are young female
teens/tweens. This is clear from
the picture used on the front of
the magazine which is a well
known international,
commercial artist of this
particular music genre and the
colour scheme of black, white,
yellow and mainly pink are very
feminine. The layout is
presented in a collage/ speech
bubble form. The font is simple
and consists of the basic colour
scheme colour mentioned
previously.
WE LOVE POP
The artists are presented as
cheesy and overly happy. Taylor
Swift, the female who features
on the front cover, is seen doing
a “shocked” face which is fairly
cringe and cheesy.
The magazine sticks to
conventions of a music
magazine as there is a big
masthead however it slightly
breaks conventions as the mast
head isn’t in the normal place of
horizontally at the top of the
page. When there are
subheadings under the band
names etc, it doesn't normally
speak of the music but the
personal lives of the artists. This
pop magazine particularly
appeals to the younger females
as it includes a freebie attached
to the front of the magazine
which is a make up set in this
case- obviously only applying to
young females rather than
males or older females.
5. MY MAGAZINE
I have chosen to go
for the genre of
RnB/ Hip Hop for
my magazine.
I find that within
these magazines
are some content
coverying personal
life but mostly
covering music.
It mainly sticks to
the conventions of
a music magazine
such as a classic
mast head and
small subheadings
around the main
picture of an artist. I
also like the format
of subheadings as
it is neat.
