The document discusses plans for a new music magazine called "Shoot Music Magazine". It will have 30 pages including front and back covers, be printed in A4 size, and be published weekly at a cost of £2.10. The magazine will target 17-30 year olds of both genders from socioeconomic classes C2 and D. It will take inspiration from magazines like Clash and Smash Hits in its style, colors, and content focusing on popular music. The main software used will be Adobe Photoshop to design the covers and spreads.
