Type of Magazine:
I've decided to create a music magazine for my coursework. I came to this decision because of my general interest in music.
Name of Magazine:
I have yet to decide on a magazine title as I'm trying to come up with an eye catching title which can help me set up a brand identity and stand out from other, similar magazines. Coming up with a good title can also present my magazine as unique and hopefully attract an unreached audience in the market.
Audience:
I am aiming to attract an audience of people who are very interested in music overall. I aim to attract males aged between 16-30 who show a keen interest in rock/pop music and who also show some interest in the writing and production of music as well as being fans of some of the biggest artists in the music business.
Outlet:
I aim to get my magazine sold in the same places where the most popular music magazines are sold. The outlets where I aim for my magazine to be sold are; petrol stations, supermarkets, music/record stores and book stores.
Selling Point:
The selling point of my magazine is to cover the latest news in the music business through commentary reporting and high standard journalism. My magazine will also provide behind-the-scene exclusives on the records currently being made be some of the most popular musicians in the business as well as the most exciting up and coming artists. I also aim to provide credible reviews of all the latest music releases in the pop/rock genre as well as highlighting some of the best new releases on the independent music scene. My magazine will also contain exclusive interviews with the biggest artists in the business.
Theme Article:
My theme article will be an exclusive look into the recording and writing process of a popular music act's difficult second album. The theme article will contain a brief interview, exclusive release of working song titles, new images of the band and an account of how the recording/writing process is going for the artist.
Front Cover Image:
My front cover will contain one main image which will relate to the theme article.
Inside Images:
On my contents page I will provide images relating to various articles throughout the magazine to improve the overall aesthetic of the contents page and showcase the exclusives included in the issue. My theme article will contain numerous images relation the main article and will be positioned to provide context onto different parts of the article.
Daniel, you have completed a basic, initial plan for your music magazine with a good level of detail. The next step is to complete the stage 2 planning document, thinking about each area in greater depth.
