Research & planning- pop artists

Before i start drafting my magazine, i need to consider what pop artists i could include within it.

I could use a female icon such as Taylor Swift to attract girls to my magazine as she is a female role model.

I could also use an artist such as Ed Sheeran as he would attract males. Although he would attract females, males would also be attracted to it and this would open up my target audience.

I could also use a celebrity such as Cheryl Cole which would attract a male audience because of her appearance but females would also be attracted by her as she could be seen as a role model.
