2. Initial plan
My initial plan for my magazine is to create an Indie magazine. I
have decided to do this as it has a wide audience. My target
audience is 16-20 year olds male and females. The frequency
of publication will be every fortnight. i am aiming to make the
price around £2.00, how ever this may change according to my
audience and how much they will be willing to pay for my
magazine.
