New Music Genre: Pop

After a lot of consideration, i have decided to change from an R&B/Hip Hop magazine to a Pop one. I decided to do this after thinking about creating a new look to pop magazines, by still following the conventions but making it have a more smart and professional look to it which would appeal to a older audience.
