Music magazine pitch

 

This is my music magazine pitch. I have decided to do a indie magazine which comes out every month and costs £2.99. I thought this was a reasonable price as it will include a lot inside. I have chosen a target audience of 14-18 although there is a lot of indie magazine already out there, they are aimed at a older audience which is the USP of my magazine as it is unique to a lot of indie magazines. I have chosen to call it red as i felt this sounded different to other magazines which does make my magazine stand out. Another idea i considered was Vintage but this didn't sound very appealing for my target audience and may miss guide them as to what my magazine is about. The house style colours i have chosen for now are red and blue i chose these two colours as i felt they worked well together, but also stand out. The images i will use is a main image then 5 mini images which is similar to kerrang who chose to do this in one of there magazines. I have also chosen to use another image about a particular artist on the front so that people have a lot of choice as to what cover story they want to look at.

 

In the double page spread i have decided to have an interview, as well as a character profile telling artist what this artist likes and dislikes. I will also have different photos so that people can find out what this artist has been up to. I have chosen not to give a free gift as this magazine is aimed at older people which may not be interested in gifts. I have given them opportunity's to win tickets inside which is more appealing for my target audience.The audience profile i said likes; concerts, indie music, festivals, latest new as well as fashion as it is aimed at girls. Some of the dislikes i said are; a lot of black featured on the front cover as this would appeal to goth magazines as well as rnb music and rock bands as these wouldn't be associated with females who like indie music.
