My music magazine is going to be called Spotlight, it will mainly focus around chart music and therefore it is not confined to one particular genre. It will also included unsigned talent as my target audience seemed to like this.

FOCUS GROUP

The name of my magazine related to the music industry as the spotlight always shines on the biggest stars. It is yellow to link with the ‘light’ aspect and it will also stand out on the front cover and attract the reader’s eye.

My target audience will be aged between 14-19 and will be predominantly female but the magazine won’t be too girly so the male market won’t feel deterred.

I’ve decided that there will be one main image on my front cover of a female music artist. These are three existing front covers which I like. The first having a posed performance and a close up shot; second long shot with musical props; and third a close up but with a happy pose.

Which do you prefer? Which elements of the front covers do you like and dislike?

These are some existing contents pages from magazines. I’m unsure whether I should have only one main image or several which link to the articles.

These are some existing double page spreads from magazines. I’m unsure whether to have an image taking up one page or have it spread across the two.
