I have decided I want to go for a rock music/indie music/fashion magazine.
As you can see, I have also placed an image showing what type of image 'look' I am going for on my magazine! The reason I am going to go for this type of 'look' is because it represents the fashion into the magazine, which is unique and 'different' to other types of artists, it also represents that the girl could be a member of a certain band which is known by the population or an artist.
I have also included on this magazine plan the inducements I want to use for my magazine; I have gone for hmv or topshop latest offers - Relating to both the music and fashion side of this magazine. Guitar picks - This can be relating to the colour of the front cover, and could come in handy for the readers. I also think these were good inducements to use as I have never seen inducements like this before, and I think many people would find it a good idea, and find it different to the rest of the inducements they have been offered.
The frequency of this magazine will be monthly; Not many music magazines you find have a frequency of weekly as you would then not be offered as much information until the end of the month e.g. Concert reviews - do not happen weekly.
The audience of my music magazine I want to be is young adults, both female and male who are generally interested in the contents of what this magazine has to offer ; this particular type of music compared to pop music.
The reason I want my music magazine audience to be for young adults rather than teenagers or children is because I want to be able to include context that the younger would not understand - Festival reviews, interviews with bands that may include bad language or images that are unapropriate.
I think my magazine will be aimed for the C1 group as the working class will be mostly interested to take time out of there busy life style to attend a music festival, or read about the latest fashion ideas! Although I am not just saying only the C1 group will be interested. I am going to sell my magazine for around £2.50 - £2.99 as I think this is a reasonable price compared to what this magazine has to offer. I also do not want my magazine to be too expensive as then people become less interested and think the price is ridiculously high.
The type of things this magazine will include, or the type of things the audience would be interested in;
Likes - Rock music, Indie music, instruments e.g. Guitars, Bands, Retro, Vintage, Fashion - Unique fashion, not the latest in dorothy perkins.
Dislikes - Clubbing music (R&B), pop music aimed for teens, the fashion everyone is in too e.g. ugg boots.
I have also looked at the different colours I could use for my magazine.
Classic - For classic I thought it would be wise to do some research, So if I was to follow the classic route I would do a magazine including artists relating to Taylor Swift, or Miley cyrus etc. I would make it to be a weekly magazine as I could then include reviews of such concerts relating to the genre and I could also release CDs relating to the genre which could be both new and old music.
Pop - For me to do a pop magazine I would do it in a similar style to 'smash hits'. I would include simple fonts such as - Arial, impact, times new roman as pop is a basic genre and generally is simple and goes along with the usual rather than making anything different to the rest. I would also include interviews with stars - e.g. The saturdays, Take that. I would also include reviews on the latest hits such as Katy perry. I could then include the latest fashion idea's that the pop idols are all wearing - Cheryl cole's wardrobe along with girls aloud favourite clothes.
