Magazine Proposal

Magazine Proposal

 

 

Type of Magazine

My magazine will be a music magazine focusing on the genre of R&B and general popular music, ranging from artists such as Jay Z and Will.I.Am to Lady Gaga. I want my magazine to focus on artists whose image and fashion plays a key role in their popularity and success as their originality sets them apart from other artists in the industry.

 

 

Name of Magazine

I am currently undecided on what I will call my magazine.

 

 

Audience

The audience of this magazine will be teenagers to young adults, those who would be interested in R&B, popular music and unique fashion. Although this magazine would be suitable for both genders I believe it would appeal more to females simply due to the artists it would feature. I believe this audience would be well suited for this magazine as people of this age want to express themselves and their individuality. It is a time when they feel they no longer have to conform to their parents wishes and can convey themselves in any way they desire through their fashion and behaviour. The artists within this magazine would reflect these attitudes as many of them are viewed as rebellious (e.g. Miley Cyrus and Rihanna) and wear many unusual outfits which express their personality and desire to stand out.

 

 

Outlet

This magazine would be available to buy in both supermarkets (e.g. ASDA) and HMV. I have chosen to sell this magazine in supermarkets as many people download music from Itunes as opposed to going to music stores and therefore the sales figures from HMV may not be very high. However, by selling the magazine in supermarkets many more people would buy it along with their weekly shop, quick visit or when going to buy magazines before a long travelling trip.

 

 

Necessary Information

The front cover of my magazine will include important information such as the date of issue, issue number, barcode and website.

 

 

Selling Point

The selling point of my magazine will be the fact that the artists it focuses on all have a unique and sometimes extreme fashion sense. This would make it stand out from other music magazines as some people may buy it simply for their interest in fashion rather than their music taste, causing an increase in sales.

 

 

Theme

My article will be an interview with a female pop artist who has a unique and instantaneously recognisable style. The interview will discuss their up and coming music and also feature on their style, what their inspiration is for fashion, their favourite designers and where they shop.

 

 

Images Front Cover

The front cover will consist of one image which will be of the female artist featured in the article.

 

 

Images Inside

The contents page will include smaller images of other artists which consitute to articles within the magazine, with the relevant page number ontop. Within the article I will include more images of the artist featured on the front cover with captions which make them relevant to the article.
