Type of magazine: A music magazine focusing on the genre of rock.
Focusing on live music and up and coming talent, those are yet to be
discovered.
Name of magazine: I have not yet came up with a name that
represents the contents of the magazine perfectly but ideas I am thinking of go
as follow: ‘hollow’, ‘Traynor, ‘todays past’, ‘Pluto’, ‘salt’, ‘reflex’.
Audience: Both males and females aged between 13 to mid-20
as the magazine will focus on today’s music. Looking towards the future with no
specific genre as both sex can enjoy it.
Audience intrests and attitudes: The key interest the audience must have is to
have an interest in the genre of music, which is rock. Also, people attitudes
must be optimistic as this magazine will look towards the future of music,
bands that aren’t well known but hopefully will be known in the future for
their abilities. The audience may like live gigs as this magazine focuses on
live music.
Outlet, where to buy the magazine: Supermarkets are a key seller of music magazines
as people most often visit a supermarket for a magazine or just for groceries
but they come out with a magazine. Also, this magazine will be available in
record stores and music stores in general.
Key information: No website is yet made or named but this is a
quick example, www.reflex.com price would
be £1.50 with the issue, date and barcode at the bottom left hand side of the
front cover.
Selling point: The selling point is that this magazine gives
you what you want. We don’t dive into other genres of music it specialises on
one genre. You buy this magazine because you want to read about rock and you
will. Competitions will be a weekly theme.
Theme: The running theme is live gigs, one on one
interview with young talent that’s trying to make it in the music industry and
the overall theme of the genre rock.
Image front cover: Upon the front of the magazine there will be my
masthead underneath a main image of the band that will be the focal point of
that week’s issue. The image will cover the majority of the cover but there
will be sub headlines of other topics that will be featured in the magazine.
Also across the main image there will be a headline complimenting the image and
capturing people’s eye. And underneath there will be a quote that will feature
within the interview.
Images inside: Images inside will be featuring many images of
the band both playing live and not. But also will feature other artists that
are featured in the magazine.
Tyler, you have completed a basic, initial plan for your music magazine with a good level of detail. The next step is to complete the stage 2 planning document, thinking about each area in greater depth.
