Research Into the types of music magazines

Pop Magazine:

Pop Magazines usually consist of Bright Colours, A variety of shape fonts, various graphic images and pop artists as the centre image of the front cover. Pop magazines are usually more for the younger generations, then again cluttered with lots of information into fonts with colours that attract these young audiences into reading this certain magazine. Pop magazines usually have stereotypical 'feminine colours' as they're the main type of audience that buy pop magazines. Included in these magazines there will also be articles about makeup and hair tips would be more for the female audience, as well as celebrity gossip which also could encourage the audience to buy this magazine. The name of these pop magazines is usually very large and would probably stand out the most out of the whole cover, with its bright bold colours. The main image then would always have a current popular artist or a pop band with some sort of 'exclusive' interview about them to also attract the audience into finding out more about popular faced artists. The language of the magazine would be informal so the readers feel like they're learning out of this magazine and forming a sort of relationship within the magazine, this would encourage them to buy more magazines from this certain company.

In creating my pop music magazine I aim to produce work similar to the brand Billboard, due to Billboard having a more sophisticated way of presenting their pop magazines, making everything clear by being laid out so formal. These magazines are always more aimed at older audiences by the way they present their magazine and the language inside.
