My magazine ideas

As working towards my final magazine I need to think of lots of ideas including target audiences, magazine names and genre's etc. I have three different ideas all with different audiences and styles etc. I am going to ask a few friends to choose which one that they like best and why.

First magazine idea -
Name : Snap
Mainstream / Niche : Mainstream
Age targeted : 8 - 14 years old
Gender targeted : Young girls
Genre : Pop
Title of the magazine and its connotations : Snap, this connotates that the magazine is 'snap' up to date with the latest music news. The name snap is short and snappy and quite catchy.

Second magazine idea -
Name : Upbeat
Mainstream / Niche : Mainstream
Age targeted : 16 - 24 years old
Gender targeted : Males
Genre : Dance
Title of the magazine and its connotations : Upbeat, this suggests that the magazine is quite chirpy and happy. The word upbeat also connotes that the music included in the magazine is quite upbeat, which it is.


Third magazine idea -
Name : Base
Mainstream / Niche : Mainstream
Age targeted : 16 – 24 years old
Gender targeted : Both
Genre : R’n’B
Title of the magazine and its connotations : Base is a generally small word that is quite powerful and has connotation of masculinity which is stereotypically R'n'B but also the genre of the magazine. It also connotes the type of music the magazine is about, as it includes quite strong base.
