Market ResearchTeen Vogue

Teen Vogue is magazine specifically targeted for teenage girls. However the magazines that they produce do not always have the same music genre. teen vogue has other concepts beside music such a blogs and forums about fashion and beauty.

We love pop is a magazine specifically targeted for those with a interest in Pop music. In addition the magazine suggests the target audience are teenagers as there are many teenage idols and Tom Daily who isn't even a singer in order to widen their audience.

In addition some magazines such as “Vibe” use custom made fonts.Colour/Theme Music magazines tend to have a certain background colours/themes. Most of the time the music artist will be in the cover image and wearing clothes that match the background colour.LayoutIn most music magazines there will be a music artist or music artists in the middle, the title on the top and additional information overlapping the artist/s. In terms of contents pages music magazines like Hip-Hop and RnB magazines seem to have a image of a relevant music artist and then the contents in really small writing in either the left or right hand side, however for pop music magazines the contents pages tend to have a series of images referring to the contents.

Analysis of 2 other existing product’s front covers

This is a Hip-Hop magazine however it isn't specific to teens. Teenagers tend to listen to rappers such as Drake because he is fairly young and successful therefore he is the cover image of this music magazine.

This Pop magazine was made by “WE LOVE POP” .Their target audience are teenagers as this magazine contains a range of singers and even teen idols such as Tom Daily in order to attract teenagers to the magazine.

The layout of this magazine has 3 people as the cover image near the right centre, the title in a speech bubble and near the top left and parts of the content inside the magazine over lapping the music artists.

The background colour of this magazine is black and Drake is also wearing a black coloured t shirt because most music magazines tend to have the clothing of the music artist matching the colour of the background .

In terms of font “Vibe” has used a custom made font. The colour of the letters are white in order to contrast with the background and the size of the letters are really big and bold in order to create impact.

The layout of this magazine consists of the title being at the top, The music artist Drake in the middle and additional content inside the magazine outside and overlapping Drake.

In terms of font the letters are a medium size. The colour of the letters are black in order to contrast pink border.

Proposal

From my research my ideas for music magazine:• The genre of music I will choose to base my music magazine will be Hip Pop because from the

results from my questionnaire Hip-Hop was the most popular and I also have and interest in Hip Pop music.

• My music magazine will have bold, large, white letters for the title. The cover image will be of someone with the background colour matching the colour of their clothing. I have these ideas for my front cover of my music magazine because these are some of the main features of Hip-Pop magazines.

• The name of music magazine will be “Zone” because I want to make the audience of my music magazine seem as though they are in “their own zone” when reading my music magazine.
