The Conventions, Producer and Target Audience:

For the conventions of my magazine, I plan to keep my masthead, my main image for my main article, a coverling/pull quote from the article to highlight a minor section on what it is about, subheadings to show them a small preview of the article. I will also have a barcode at the bottom right with the price and magazine number for this who wish to buy or even collect the issues. I will also add a bubble to the cover to provide the audience with a look as to what is up for offer in the magazine but as to what I want up for offer is undecided, maybe a free download or a poster. My font will hold a sort of formal yet youthful look so it may appeal to my 16-24 audience. For the context page I plan on having the masthead again but with the word "Contents" instead. I also plan on having subheadings along the side with pages to show what else is in the magazine. Also there will be on side that mainly holds pictures with page numbers rather than just writing so the reader can glance at the artist and quickly flip to the right page. The colour palet will hold unisex colours of black, white and red to appeal to a larger range of audience. My double page spread will consist of one large main image and an article. Another pull quote/masthead will appear on the page along with a masthead of the logo to keep the house style.

If my magazine was ever to sold I would like the publisher, Bauer Media to do it as they have a range of music magazines including the very sucessful "Q" and "Kerrang". My magazine will be a mix between Q and Kerrang which will widen Bauer Media audience and make them more diverce.

My target audience is between the ages of 16 and 24. It is a uni-sex magazine with have a range of bands and the unisex colours that are included. Although the cover has a main girl artist it still appeals to the male gender.I think the readers would be those who love and enjoy a wide variety of music.

If my magazine was to be broadcast publicly I think it would appear on more adult to mid-teen programmes. Such as ITV, E4 and Channel 4. These three programmes appeal to those with both a playful and mature behavior who would also might take some intrigue into my magazine. The magazine would also be advertised on music channels that hold a similar music genre mix as it.
