The document outlines a treatment sheet for a proposed magazine called "IT" targeting girls over 16 interested in pop music. The proposed magazine would have a simple but artistic cover design inspired by Blend magazine. It would be published monthly by Bauer Media Group, cost £3.49, and aim to sell 500 copies per month generating approximately £21,000 annual revenue. The treatment sheet provides details on the magazine name, target audience, proposed design, publishing plans, and potential publisher.

3. I am calling my magazine ‘IT’ I personally thinks that it is plain and simple and that it
would stand out, it would also be easy to remember which could suggest that people
would suggest it to their friends. I love the idea of having a rather busy front page and
then having a really simple name for the magazine. I think it also describes the
magazine; that it is hip and current, and it has everything in IT.
These images that are underneath are my ideas for the magazine masthead.

4. For my front cover I am having it very plain and simple, I am going to give it quite an art-y look
and make it look appealing to the public that would be buying my magazine. I have seen a
magazine that I like the look of that has a quite art-y feel to it, you can tell that it focuses on
fashion and art in a very editorial way, I want to use this on mine and give it a pop punk feel to
it. This a front over of Blend magazine that I like the look of:
I like the look of it, and I think it stands out, I like the
glossy fresh look to it, I would personally pick this up
in a shop and buy it, I think it stands out from the
average looking magazine. This is why I am going to
use this style of the magazine, as I love the look of it. I
will not copy; just take a few ideas off the front page. I
think because the front page is really simple the
contents page would have to be as well.
The genre of music I am choosing is pop and my target
audience is going to be over 16 year old, I know that
teenagers that are my age will take interest in it, I am
also focusing on girls, as it is a pop magazine I don’t
think boys will necessarily take interest in it, that’s
why I am picking girls over 16 years old as my target
audience.

5. For my music magazine IT I am going to make it a monthly issue, as it will be
come out at the beginning of the month with all the new artists that have just
come out during the previous month.
I am going to charge £3.49 for my magazine as it going to be a rather big
magazine that is thick and has a lot of information.
I think that about 500+ people might buy my magazine if it is sold in every
corner shop and book shops, I will hope to make about £1,745 (With the
magazine costing £3.49 and 500 magazines being sold). Approx. £21,000 a
year.
I hope to have people buying my magazine monthly and still buying it all
month and year around.

6. I would hope that Bauer Media Group would be my publishing house, as it
has brought out so many amazing magazines and all of the magazines have
done well.
Bauer Media Group make monthly magazines and make about $2.4 billion in
revenue each year. They also have 11,000 employees which suggests that
they are a huge company.
I would like to think that Bauer Media would print my magazine as it is a
music magazine which is Pop that they have no yet published, however
Bauer do music magazines, it is their main area of theme, my magazine
would maybe work well with Bauer Media Group.
