The Music Magazine Brief

 For this piece of coursework, I have to create an original music magazine. I will have to choose the genre of my magazine for example; dance, pop, mental, rnb. For this magazine I have to get at least four original images for the magazine and also do a front cover, contents page and double page spread..


What is the chosen music genre, which your magazine will focus upon?
I have chosen pop music to do my music magazine on.

What are the key feature of pop?

Pop music has always been thought to be very cheesy, in the music magazines for pop they use very bright colours to identify them. Most pop bands have this stereotypical image of being “perfect” they have to be innocent because the majority of the audience for pop would be teenagers and young children. More key features would be things such as; happy, girly and they would wear fashionable clothes which is different to how it used to be 10 years ago as they would wear crop tops and little shorts.

What magazines are currently in publication that cover this genre?

They isn’t that many magazines that cover pop music,  top of the tops which has a very stereotypical image for pop, sugar and the X Factor magazine. I couldn't find top of the tops or sugar magazines so i have chosen to analyse the X factor magazine and XXL.
