The document describes a proposed magazine about indie rock music called "Indie Rock Herts". It will cover both mainstream and local indie rock artists, with a focus on live music events like concerts and festivals. The target audience is people ages 16-30 who enjoy live music, as well as older audiences over 30 who like indie rock. Each monthly issue will feature a local or famous indie rock artist on the cover along with information about upcoming shows. It will be distributed locally in shops and at music venues, with posters and social media used to promote it.

4. Target Audience
The target audience for my magazine are young
people ages 16- 30 who enjoy live music events
such as concerts, festivals and local gigs.
There is also a secondary audience of older
generations over the age of 30 that enjoy this
genre of music and live music events.

5. Content
The front cover will showcase a photo of a famous or local artist/band from the
indie rock genre that is featuring in the magazine. The reason there won't always be
a 'famous' artist on the front cover is to help promote local aspiring artists as it will
be sold and be available to locals. The cover will also include the name of the
magazine in the top right-hand corner as well as the featuring artists name in their
style of font and cover lines for articles.
It will also include information on how to buy tickets to upcoming events and local
gigs that are happening in the local area that month. There will also be a monthly
competition in each issue for tickets to music events to help readers feel included

6. Colour scheme
The colour scheme of the magazine is a black background
with any writing in white to make the articles and any
photos of performers and performances stand out.
