The age group Vox Populi is aimed for will be able to earn money to buy it so the price for it will be between 3 and 3.50 pounds (there will be special offers time-to time). It is justified by many interviews and music and artist reviews that my audience will be interested in. My audience will be looking for more text than adverts or pictures. They are not looking for the role models, however they are looking for inspiration. Male readers will be looking for new gadgets and and news in the music industry, female audience will be looking for some fashion and style. As females becoming more independent and often are as successful in business as men, both genders will be looking for tricks and ways to become successful and learn how to overcome any problems. They will learn it from interviews with artists. The readers of the Vox Populi are confident and ambitious. They want to find their place in life and are interested in media and music. 

Form and Style: Vox populi is an A4 magazine, that is quite thick and heavy, with a lot of colours but not too much. It mostly contains interviews, music news and reviews, photoshoots etc. Each issue will feature a male or female artist on the cover and the contents page layout will remain quite the same, creating a unique page of the magazine. The fonts used in magazine will be bold and simple, so they stand out a lot and may be coloured in if needed. The coverlines will match the colours of the cover and have short and snappy information for the reader to be interested. 

Themes and Typical features: Each issue of the Vox Populi will have such features as short biography of the popular artists with an image (age, eye colour, hobbies, favourite music etc.), pictures from the cover model photoshoot and a list of upcoming events and festivals. This will give the readers a lot of ideas for their own lives and broaden their knowledge of music industry. This will allow them to share information with friends and colleagues and will definitely give some extra and unique information for people who work in music industry. The language will be quite simple but also will use some technical terms. In interviews the taboo language may be used and pictures may be sexy. Writers will make it interesting for both male and fe,ale and readable for a student as well as person who reads it for professional reasons.
