TOP OF THE POPS is a pop magazine which has a target audience of 10 year old girls onwards.This can be seen as it has pop artist such as the Spice Girls, Craig David, S Club 7 and Hear Say. It can also be seen because of the choice of colour scheme.
This issue of the TOP OF THE POPS magazine has Britney Spears as the main image and cover story. The image looks glamourous compared to the previous magazines I have anaylised as it is alot brighter and cleaner cut. Britney is wearing a purple one shoulder top which matches in with the colur scheme of he magazine of pink,red,white and purple giving the magazine a girly feel. Britney at time of this particular issue of TOP OF THE POPS was first issued was known as the pop princess. TOP OF THE POPS have used this and put the heading "Oh behave, Britney" which suggets that she know longer wants to be known as the pop princess.
The masthead and heading of the magazine like Mojo magazine is serif. Also both masthead and heading are block capital letters. The logo for the television program TOP OF THE POPS is used as the masthead of the magazine. The masthead is slightly different to the logo of the program as it has been made pink instead of being yellow. This makes it more appealing to its target audience of pre teenage girls. As the stero typical girl like the colour pink and everything girly such as doing each others make up and hair.

The importance of target audience?
What is a target audience?
A target audience is a group of people a product is aimed at. A target audience can be categorised as gender,age,class,occupation. For example Vogue has a target audience of young females upwards.
Why is a target audience important?
Having a target audience is an important part of media. Being able to pick the correct target audience for your product is a crucial job as it could make or break your product. If you choose the wrong target audience for your product it could cost the company you work for millions of pounds. Some times however the target audience can be a little difficult to decide depending on the product such as a mobile phone.
