Task 13 - Pitch

To Bauer Media

introduction

My magazine is called Rewind and focuses more on the older music coming back into mainstream music. The artists would be a series of big famous artists who are perceived as classic, big and music royalty.

In the month in which my first issue would be made, such bands as U2, Kate Bush, Neil Diamond, Lady Gaga has gone back on tour and George Michael has rumoured that Wham will return.

Introduction

The genre is of course what I have already mentioned. Mainstream pop/rock.

Your other magazines which you have published, include TV Quick, Bella, Kerrang and Q. These have lead you to become the third biggest publisher in the UK. Your target audiences have ranged from older women in the gossip magazines to the middle aged men in your music magazines. Although this magazine appeals to a much wider audience of both men and women of the ages 16-32.

Target Audience

The magazine I am creating will be aimed towards 16-30 year olds. In oppose to the magazines you already cover with an elder target audience. The concept of having another magazine with a younger audience means that you would sell more and overall your magazine company will overall then appeal to a more wide audience.

House Style

The House style of my magazine will follow a colour scheme of the similar colours shown in this presentation. With a red mast head similar also.

The font I will be using is also similar to the one being used here. As well as other fonts

Content

My content for my first issue will include:

A top ten list – Everyone likes ratings and lists, and lists are quite popular in your magazine Q.

Tour information – New reviews on tours, and tour dates.

New Albums – Reviews of albums and what's coming up album wise.

Interview – interviews with big artists and newer artists who will appear to be hits.

Main Story

The main story in my magazine for the first issue, will be a male singer named Jamie who's band ‘Mirage’ The band was a late 90s band which split up in 2004.
