It is now time to put my new found knowledge of the music industry into practice! We have been set the task of creating our very own music magazine's front cover, contents page and double page spread.
To help me in the planning of my magazine, it is useful to look at what magazines are already successful in the market. To carry this out I have 'deconstructed' two, well known music magazines' front covers. 'TOP of the POPS' and 'Billboard' magazine are both magazines I have chosen to look at as I am aiming to base my own magazine on the 'pop music' genre. However I am still not fully decided on whether my magazine will be aimed at younger, or older teenagers (target audience). By deconstructing these two different magazines, I have gained an insight on the typical conventions of a magazine and its effectiveness. These have given me different ideas on how to construct my own magazine. Taking inspiration from both existing magazines and my own ideas, I will hopefully be able to create an authentic, yet 'new' magazine.
