My Magazine Pitch

Sample imagesThis sample image is simple and powerful. They are all sat on a

bench all doing a similar pose. This shows the unanimity of this need and shows how tight they are as

one.

This particular sample image is cool and different. The band shows all there different styles of

clothing, it shows that they are comfortable in there on style of clothes. This therefore catches the audiences eyes and draws them in. It intrigues the

reader to want to find out about there band.

This band shows of there style to and a bit of there personality.

These are what parents want as role models for there children,

because they show the essence of individuality and not being afraid of what people think. This would be what i would like as a cover photo of a band that my target market and connect with and

identify with.

Genre of music

I have chosen two genres of music to use in my music magazine. These are: Pop and Dance. I have chosen these genres because these two were the most

popular chose of music that i gathered from my the questionnaire i carried out, i think it is important to listen to the research collected because the majority has told us what they want thus i can create the best and magazine i can, therefore

making it as the readers want, further more selling more. I have also chosen these genres because the two are easy to interconnect together, and create a

fun magazine with two similar genres of music appealing to two music markets , creating a bigger audience thus trying to give them what they want. Also in the

questionnaire result i gathered that there favourite artist are mostly from the pop industry for example; Jessie j and Justin Bieber, this there fore gives me an

indication in to what artist i should feature in my magazine.

Pop is the best selling genre of music worldwide. This means that there is still a huge market fro pop magazines. There are

already many pop magazines that exist, the bigger magazine for example Q magazine, and Billboard are the most well known and have the biggest readership and have the biggest market size of

pop magazines.

The working Title idea for the magazines:

What i want from the title and logo.I want the title of the magazine to be short and catchy. The colour plus the wording of the title needs to grab

the readers eye and make them want to read the magazine. There fore making the title only a few letters or words will be ideal, making the title to complicated

might confuse the readers. I also want to incorporate a logo for the magazine this will make the magazine more

memorable and will give of a more professional feel, thus this will make the reader think for the next time

they are buying a magazine and they want this one they will not forget the name and thus will not loose us

customers.

Title;

Name of the magazine?UNLEASHED

The reason for this nam it catchy and cool. It is a name people will not forget and

its easy for people to say. The word unleashed gives the feeling that people will

find out something if they read the magazine. This will intrigue the reader to

buy the magazine.

Publication pattern

I have chosen to publish my magazine monthly because the responses i gathered from the questionnaire i asked were that a month they spend on

average between £3-£8, this there fore means that the customers i am aiming for and that have answered the questionnaire are willing to spend money on music, thus shows they are interested in music an may be willing to spend

money on a magazine each month. I have chosen not to do this weekly because it is to frequent , and i want to make the magazine often so the readers are

excited to go and buy it, however i want to give a sort of special addition feel to the magazine. This also will benefit my target market age which is 15-23,

because they will have time to save up there money and furthermore will more likely be able to purchase the magazine. Also making it monthly i will promote a subscription to the magazine and give a special deal to those who purchase this with a free limited addition magazine. This will be every 6 months this there fore

entices the customers to purchase a subscription, therefore giving it every 6 months this will mean that the customers are more likely to buy it for 6 months or more to get this magazine, thus creating more profit. Also by doing it every 6

months and making that only the customers with subscription receive the limited addition copy, will most likely make them subscribe longer. Also having an option to subscribe , this will create more customers because people forget

to buy it every month so making a subscription it is already paid for in advanced and means that they wont forget buying it every month because it will always

come with out them thinking about it.

Reader profile

The sex of my reader I'm would like to focus on the female sex. The reason being is because as my

questionnaire suggest the sex most interested in pop is females. By making it mostly based on the female audience this means i will have a clear plan of how to appeal to them for example what colour scheme to

use. I contemplated doing a magazine for both sexes however i felt it would be to confusing and i would

end up leaning more to one gender than the other, so by doing one sex this will make me focus on one audience making the best magazine i can for that

certain sex.

The age range i will be targeting will be aged from 15-18. In my questionnaire

showed that the people that would read it are aged between 15- 18. By setting a

target age makes me to produce a magazine that is age appropriate thus

making the writing more developed with jokes that 15-18 year olds would get. By making it age appropriate to my target

market this will make sure that my readers will be interested and will help

me to pick the right topics to right about.

I would like the readers to be able to read more elaborate vocabulary. By making it more intelligent the readers are not just

learning about artists and music they are learning new words, and develop a wider

vocabulary. By having advanced vocabulary this will appeal to another sort of market by making it fun and also you learn something

there is no magazine on the market that bring these things together subtly.This

therefore gives the magazine a unique selling point. Making it stand out from the other

magazines.

The magazine will be affordable however the main focus will be

providing a high quality product for a good price. The price will be more expensive than other magazines on the market , this therefore means

that the people buying my magazine my readers will have to

come from a family wealthy background, This therefore makes the marines more desirable and

more wanted by the public. The readers i will be focusing on will be invested in music, this will make it

easier for the readers to understand. By focusing on these people it will be

easier for me to write for because even tho i will have it draw them in they will

already have an interest in it.

Magazine style and attitudes

My magazines genre is pop/dance this therefore means that my magazine will be fun upbeat and interesting. The magazine will

not be serious thus will be the opposite and be humorous and will not take its self to serious. The content of the magazine will be

funny interviews and will be all the gossip people want in a magazine. I will be focusing on the female sex because they are the majority of the people who buy pop magazines and will want the gossip and will want a bit of silly fun. The colour scheme and

design will be bright and colourful, however i want to make it different to other pop music magazines out there that have really bright colours that stand out to much, i will make it more subtle and easier to read and navigate around. This will therefore stand out from the crowed and also will appeal to the older female that

are my target market. Making it more classy and more “grown up” will create customers that of the older age and because i am using more elaborate language this fits with my target market.

Cover Price

The cover price of my magazine is £4.00. The reason for this price is because the people in my questionnaire said that they would

spend on average between £3-£8 a month. This therefore means making it this price is the middle price. I also decided tom make it

this price because i would like to make my magazine more of a higher market and making it quite i high price and making it not cheap means that for the people of the working class with less money than my target audience it will make it more desirable,

because they will see the richer people having it and will want it themselves. This further more means by making it expensive i will have to make the content and the hole magazine that of a high quality, and making it good value for money. Because my publication pattern is monthly it means that the people without

the money will be able to save up thus means they will be able to effort it. This further more appeals to another audience that will buy the magazine making it more sellable and creating a bigger

audience buying the magazine gathering more customers.
