Decisions about my music magazine

After looking at different music magazines and researching topics and ideologies related to different genres of music, I have decided to create a magazine that would feature acoustic or indie artists. This magazine will be based on designs and structures of NME and Q. My target audience will be people of a similar age 16-24 this is because they will relate to some of the people in the magazine. The target market will be smaller than these larger magazines like NME and Q because it focuses on two particular genres whilst they have a broader range.

I would like my front cover to be quite simple and sophisticated whilst still attracting the attention of the audience. Due to wanting a basic and not too overcrowded cover I will be using one person as my model as oppose to a group/band and it must be a plain background to draw attention to the sell lines. Or the background must be quite simple as to not distract the audience. The title of my magazine needs to be related to the genre and themes of the magazine, as it will be one of the firsts things that attract an audience. This title must be displayed in a way that can be used every issue of the magazine in order to establish a house style that the potential audience could relate to.
