Magazine Research

Before creating our magazine article, it is essential we research into which which magazine is suitable for our target audience

We were considering  choosing the magazine 'Company' for our interview as we found out that it appeals to a younger audience than Cosmopolitan but still shares the same features however after researching into it we found they stopped producing it last year.

We then thought that Cosmopolitan would be good to choose as Frankie reads it said they often show interest into the latest fashion and music which is what our band portrays. 

Instead of an article we are going to make an interview in order for our fans to get to know us better which is important for any new artist. 

After doing further research we found that Cosmopolitan magazine is not suitable for our target audience as it is aimed at adult women. So we had to focus our research on teenage UK pop magazines. We found BLISS which is UK based and suitable for our target audience but the last issue was produced in July 2014.

Seventeen is a magazine perfect for a new upcoming teenage pop band but it is produced in America which is unsuitable for a new band as they have to become well known in their home country before going international.

Frankie then found 'Shout' Magazine which is suitable for our target audience, UK based and still being produced so we went with this one.
