For my music magazine, I decided to choose the genre pop and call it Simply Pop. This is because I enjoy this music and feel though I can create a successful magazine based on this genre as I listen to this music in my everyday life. Some genres of music have very specific conventions and provide with much more scope for design decisions and copy style so I thought pop was a good genre for me to choose.

This is a word cloud that I made based on my research of the genre and the connotations behind it. The words are based on are linked to the genre pop and what might be included in the magazine.
