Ideas For My Own Music Magazine

-          Examples of artists to be featured

-          Target audience (demographics: age, gender)

-          Reader profile (see the K! example in the media pack) You will need to take your own picture of the typical reader

-          Contents

I want my genre to be alternative. This is reflective of my own musical taste and gives my magazine a personal edge. 

Some examples of artists I would feature: Bastilles, Jake Bugg, The Wombats, Twin Atlantic, Lana Del Rey, Marina and the Diamonds, Birdy.

My target audience is 16-24. i have chosen a wider target audience range as it helps me to be able to go 'all out' on certain aspects.

The typical reader of my magazine, will be a non-conforming young adult. They must have strong individualism and feel the need to stand out- if they are marginalized in society for doing this, the magazine acts as an escape to them. They are opinionated and have strong post-modern views, which are magnified in the magazine. Artists and bands used in the magazine are representative of the angst and uncaring attitude of the teenage audience. However, the magazine is more feminine and women are more likely to read the magazine due to the celebrity gossip element the magazine has.

The contents page will be similar to NME, in that there is a balance of text and photos, and that it has the messy but organised feel to it, perhaps through an obvious house colour scheme/typography.

I generally want to keep readers on their toes.
