Competition?

The competition in which I find the biggest is 'Teen Prom. Despite this being an American magazines it had built a large and wide audience that has been extremely popular. I would like to challenge a lot of their features while also copying them in order to match my audience and make it a regional piece. I feel the layout of the front cover matches the style and character in which I myself want to create for my own magazines. I will therefore replicate several of the features such as the layout and the colour scheme ideas as it relates to my target audience also.  However the contents page is not something I wish to copy as a whole. I find it to be boring and therefore won't appeal to my target audience. I will therefore challenge these conventions by adding a more vibrant and upbeat contents page. I will split the page accordingly to make it exciting for my audience. W
