My chosen genre for my magazine is music, focusing on alternative, soul and rock artists like Florence + the machine and Paramore. I have decided to incorporate musicians from in and outside Britain to attract a wider audience. My main reason for this is America arguably dominates the music industry so leaving them out would depreciate the content of my magazine. It will aim to target an audience of intelligent females aged 16 – 24 as the lexis I’m going to use will be quite sophisticated rather than glamorous. I’ve chosen to do this because the music magazines currently out are designed to attract a female audience and are mostly ‘glitzy’ gossip magazines like Top of the Pops who just feature pictures of idolised pop stars like Justin Beiber to hook consumers.
