Positioning Statement: Music is life
Frequency of Publication: Monthly
Frequency of Publication: Monthly
Price: £3.20
Distribution: Newsagents, Supermarkets, Gigs, music stores such as HMV, maybe alternative clothing stores.
Rationale: the approach of this magazine is from a metal/rock fans perspective.The magazine will offer interviews with bands when events that the audience and fans of the band may be interested in (such as tours) are taking place, and also when events have happened to the band which effect their music career, such as the release of a new album. Moreover, the magazine will offer reviews on things such as new albums and tours, in order to help the audience decide whether they want to buy these albums or attend these gigs, and also to advertise the music genre and the bands in question. Furthermore the magazine will offer the audience posters and special offers sometimes such as free CDs or clothing items.
Style: Informal language, humorous and upbeat, slightly conversational, easy to read. May use slang relevant to music genre and general community life. This will appeal to a wide range of audience, as my target audience is not age specific and based on the music taste of an individual. Moreover, stereotypically, people who are fans of the type of music my magazine features find the traits I have mentioned above appealing.
