Propsal

From the research I have done, I have come to a decision that the genre of my magazine will be pop. Even though pop may be the hardest genre to create for a magazine, because of there are so many artists and so much you can talk about with pop, I have decided to take this challenge as a leap and to hopefully generate a decent pop magazine which is not too crowded but not to structured either.  As pop has so many features, articles and stories to it, you mainly see these magazines around and you gain a knowledge about what type of fonts, articles, colours and even celebrities they use.  For my magazine, I have decide to use Taylor Swift. She is an amazing singer and a great inspiration, which is what most readers like to look for as well. The excellent thing about Taylor, is she isn’t just about one genre. Her music is either pop or country which gives a good variety and change to the pop genre.  

 All magazines have practically the same purpose, to entertain, to inspire etc…For my magazine, my purpose was also to inspire and to entertain but not only through text on a page but through social media like, Instagram - maybe the new fashion sense which may correspond with the meaning of the music, for example Taylor’s break up song “we are never ever getting back together”, where she wears pyjamas which shows she doesn’t really care what her ex thinks of her and then party clothes at the end to make him jealous. Facebook could be another example of social media – where you have a post or a picture or a readers post and you see how many likes, shares and comments you get for it, this also includes what people comment regarding or disregarding the post and if people tag friends which may show they are either getting the tagged person to look at the magazine and read about it or there could have been an article which could relate to them in a way. Whichever approach it is, the good thing to look for is how many people are relating to it or impending in it in some sort of way which helps with the amount of readers and subscribers. There are also other ways in which I could draw in readers like Twitter feeds, and telling them to subscribe.

 The target audience for my magazine will be aimed at those who are listen and connect with pop and other genres which are interlinked with it. This would be people between the early teens and the early twenties, 12-21. However there may be a surprise audience, of which the ages will be over 21, although to be fair many people do have children and so they may be reading to them or maybe they just may enjoy the idea of these magazines and prefer them to more well-structured ones.
