2. The Audience I am targeting

 I am thinking of targeting a general audience. An
audience that isn't heavily involved with a certain
genre. These will be the type of people that like the
top 40 and general music that everyone likes.
 The audience will be of both genders as this is a
more generalised magazine
 The age will be later secondary school ages and sixth
formers and college students. So the ages of 14-18.

3. What is my magazine about ?

 The magazine will generally contain reviews some
interviews and lots of news about the top singles and
also upcoming singles or newly released.
 The split of magazine will be 40% reviews 20%
interviews and 40% news on singles and albums.
 My magazine will entail weekly updates on which
singles are record breaking or even surprising a few
people the music singles will be given awards each
week like “Biggest flop of the week ,Biggest rise of
the week and also newest entries.”

4. The music style

 The music style will be mainly pop genre but
because it’s a charts magazine it could have any kind
of genre of music due to the fact the charts do have
many different genres.

5. Marketability

 The way in which I have targeted my audience is
through niche market as there is no weekly chart
magazines out on the market already.

6. 
 I haven't yet set in stone a brand name for the
magazine I was thinking of SS 40 or something
similar.
 The brand name needs to be short and snappy so the
attention of the reader is fully on the magazine.
 The longer the brand name is the less memorable it
becomes.

7. Codes and Conventions

 Colour scheme:
 3-4 colours for the colour scheme.
 The colours must suit my target age group so black
and red maybe the best option for my colour scheme
 Fonts:
 The fonts must suit my genre and target audience to
attract them to the magazine.
 The fonts must be big enough to catch the eye but
not to big that it ruins the front photo.

8. Feasibility

 The idea is very feasible as the magazine is a very
current idea not done weekly its normally done on
odd occasions like annually. This is normally done
by different magazines.

9. Creativity

 The magazine idea is being put into a niche market
as no magazines have done a charts magazine every
week so this idea is a new area of the market that
hasn’t been exploited yet.
