The document outlines plans for a new music magazine targeted at young adults aged 14-18 from low-income backgrounds. The magazine will have a modern, simple design and mixed genre of content to appeal to a wide audience. It will be released monthly for £4, though the first issue will have a 25% discount.

2. TARGET AUDIENCE
My target audience will be young adults around the age of 14-18
years old ,I decided to target this particular age group as being a
young adult myself I believe that it will be easier to know what will
appeal to them more.
Furthermore the genre of my magazine will be pop , this is a good
genre I believe as pop is commonly listened to music genre. the
social class that my target audience will be is unemployed or have
a low income from part time jobs.
3. STYLE, GENRE, TYPE OF MAGAZINE

decided to do this as I believe that this would appeal to the
audience as the magazine will have that modern feel to it.
The genre of the magazine will be a mixed genre. I chose a
mixed genre as I want to appeal to a wider audience. The type
of magazine my magazine will be is Music and will be released
every month.
4. PRICE
My magazine will cost £4, I decided that it’ll be this price as I
believe that this is a reasonable price for teenagers. Furthermore
since it’s a monthly magazine I believe that they’ll have the
money to buy it.
For the first edition release I will give a 25% discount which will
appeal to the teenagers.
The magazine will be glossy like ‘Q’ I decided that it will be glossy
as I think that if it was like a newspaper it wouldn’t be good value
for money
5. FRONT COVER ARTIST
My artist on the first edition will be a upcoming teenage music
artist, I chose a teenage artist as it may attract and even inspire
my target audience.
On the front cover I want to include little puffs and buzz words
that will look appealing to the audience, it may also attract more
people as they will be attracted by the buzz words such ‘Free’ or
‘Win’.

I will feature sections about the interview with the teenage artist
as well as interviews with famous artists such as Beyoncé.
Furthermore I will tell the readers about tours and promotions.

well as gossip about their music artists they may listen to.
I have chosen Bauer to be my publishers as they are a well
known music magazine publishers and will be good to attract my
target audience as they have published very successful music
magazines.
