My Intentions

Through my analysis I understand the conventions of your typical Pop music magazine to be very similar as they all follow the same sort of conventions by sticking to just one main person on the front cover of the magazine and then create a cover story for a double page spread inside of the magazine. Other artists are used for sell lines on the front cover of the magazines but I have found that they tend to stick to using just one main image for the front cover. Looking further into contents pages I found that more images are used to portray the typical conventions of a music magazine.

Through my target audience research I have found that my chosen genre of Pop is a popular genre of music on the market. This was my chosen genre as I found the people that answered my questionnaire were more attracted to this genre and would like to see the typical conventions followed inside my music magazine. 

Therefore I plan to meet the following conventions by using just one main image on my front cover that will be my story inside on my double page spread. Using a direct address with my main image and with the use of sell lines that will attract to people buy the magazine. On my contents page I will use more images that will appeal to my target audience and make them want to read further on into my magazine. Keeping in mind the conventions of a music magazine to produce a high standard music magazine that will appeal appropriately to my target audience.

However, I plan to challenge the conventions by including some features that you may not expect to see inside of a music magazine. Something that was a popular choice in my questionnaire was competitions therefore in the corner of my contents page there will be a competition shown to enable someone to win a guitar. This is slightly different to a typical Pop magazine, especially the ones I have researched.
With the use of mostly formal language the use of informal language may be used a little across my double page spread as it is going to be an interview with my main person that will feature on my front cover.
I will try to include as many conventions that you would expect to see in a typical music magazine included in my music magazine.
