1. Publication Plan
Title: RETRO
Positioning Statement: For Your Eyes Only
Frequency of the publication: Weekly
Price: £2.80
Distribution: Newsagents; supermarkets; music stores; music concerts/gigs
Rationale: The approach of my magazine will be made up from the ideas and answers given
to me by the people, via the questionnaire. I will also offer numerous opinions, insights,
articles, and interviews that will focus mainly on what the fans wish to read, rather than me
just assuming.
Style: The style in which I’ll use will be of an informal structure and state.
Images will be the dominant feature of the layouts.
