Music Magazine Practical Day one

Today we discussed the genre, title and sell lines of our magazine. We decided to have a monthly issue of our magazine and for it to be mostly aimed at a 9-16 year old audience.
My group have decided to call our magazine "PopWave" and our genre for the music of our magazine to be pop. "PopWave" relates not only to the genre of our magazine is but also to the target audience.
Al
so, "PopWave" would need to appeal to both sexes as we would like to promote equal opportunity. So we have decided to have each issue appeal to a female audience then the next to a male audience.
We have also decided to have each member of our group to solely concentrate on one issue each. I will be focusing on the January issue.

As January is the first month of the year, the public would be expecting a 'New Years theme' so
the ideas I have so far for the issue is to have a traditional theme with many balloons surrounding the image and a "Countdown" clock in which the minute and hour hand are facing north. This is convey the 'New Year' in which many people get excited about every year.
I would like the model on the cover to be facing the front and looking straight at the camera, looking very happy and excited that it's the new year also carrying a party popper as though getting ready for the new year.

The sell lines on my January issue of "PopWave" is going to have:
"Something Vanessa doesn't want Zac to know!" feature with a small image beside the text. The image will be:
This image will mostly attract female audience as my issue are mainly based on this target audience.
Vanessa Hudgens is a very well known actress/singer who is famous for being in Disney's 'High School Musical'. She is also known for dating her co-star, Zac Efron, and the target audience will want to know the 'secret'.

Another of my sell lines is "Miley Cyrus' new years resolutions!"

Miley Cyrus is a very famous singer who is very well known by teenagers as playing the main role of "Hannah Montana" which is the popular TV show by Nickelodeon. The sell line also relates back to my theme as being for New Years Eve season.

Another of my sell lines is going to be a heading saying "Gorgeous Amanda Show's Drake Top 5 ways of Greeting Girls!" This is going to appeal to the audience mainly because this issue is based on female audience and can attract fans who have a crush on Drake.

My final sell line is going to be a free gift when buying "PopWave" which is a glamorous notebook and stylish pen. This will be another reason for teenagers would buy the magazine as it allows them to get cute freebies.
