For my magazine I think my target audience would be both male and female, although more targeted towards female readers. The reader would have an interest in Pop music and want to keep up to date with the latest music releases. They would also require interests in Celebrity Gossip, Fashion and Pop Culture.

Introduction

For this task I have been asked to design and create my own music magazine, consisting of a front cover, contents page and a double page spread using Adobe InDesign & Photoshop. Using key concepts and targetting audience.
For my magazine I have chosen to design and create a pop/r&b/chart magazine for a target audience of mostly teens and maybe early 20's. i will be using techniques and styles that i've learned previously from my priliminary coursework task.[http://www.blogger.com/posts.g?blogID=5812062672925898158] and http://www.blogger.com/posts.g?blogID=4054609209558422301 To get a rough idea of how to design my magazine I will be conducting research into previous magazines of similar/same genre such as smashhits, top of the pops magazine, and possibly search for other types to give a better idea of the sort of styles,colouring these magazine's use to attract their target audience.
I will keep my work and progress recorded in this blog throughout the process of the coursework.
