2. Current pop magazines
When researching magazines the main one I
found was ‘Top Of The Pops’ a pop
magazine aimed at young girls.
3. Codes and Conventions
of Pop Magazines
Pop magazines tend to be aimed at young girls. To appeal
to this target audience, the conventions of a pop
magazine tend to be, bright colours, bold fonts and
shapes and lots of pictures.
The pictures on pop magazines aimed at this audience
tend to be of boy bands and pop singers which young
girls may look up too as an idol or inspiration.
The cover lines on Pop magazines are very much aimed
at young girls, giving hints of gossip about their favorite
boy band or singer, persuading them to buy the magazine
and read about it.
Lures such as offers of posters or free gifts are used to
persuade the target audience to buy the magazine.
