1. Pitch
My music magazine will be called ‘ON TOP’ and will be about the
alternative rock genre. It will be published by Bauer, as they have
published so many magazines in the same style, all that are
successful and have a high reader profile, so I believe that the y
would work well with me and my magazine to publish it successfully.
My target audience will be both male and female, aged between 15
and 24, but I will include enough to engage with a wider audience
too. It will be priced at £2.50, as I think this is affordable.
My colour scheme will be black, white and blue as I am
appealing to a niche audience and I want my magazine to be
different to the generic rock magazines that are already published
on the market. The title and headlines will be bold to catch the
reader’s eye and I will use the font ‘plane crash’ for my masthead
and logo, which will be the same throughout so it can be identified
with. The rest of my text will be clear and easy to read, set out in a
straightforward way, which will show elegance with in my magazine,
even though it is a rock genre which typically doesn’t portray class,
but once again, I am appealing to a niche audience.
I will include studio images as well as images on location to
create a variety and show my audiences favourite singer s not just
posed in front of a camera but also in a more natural setting which
shows more of a feeling of real life and my audience can feel
connected with the artists. I will have in-depth and detailed articles
and interviews with certain bands and singers which I think will be
of interest to my target audience as well as including a subscription
section of information and also competitions with worthwhile and
exciting prizes.
