Main Task - Magazine Brief

Magazine Pitch

My magazine will be aimed at both males and females aged 14-21. The genre of my music magazine is emo/rock. The front cover of my magazine is an important selling point as it is the first thing members of my target audience will see. It will be lay out in an ordered fashion so it appears mature and will appeal to the right audience. The cover lines and images will be appropriate for my target audience and the genre of music I chose for my magazine. I will also position the images and cover lines in suitable places so they are along the route of the eye, and capture the attention of my target audience. The colour scheme of my magazine will be appropriate for both males and females, and the colour will reflect the genre of my magazine. The colours I chose will fit in with the genre of music I have chosen to base my magazine on. I will use the same colour throughout the magazine although I may use other colours for certain articles to make them stand out more and look more attractive. I will also use consistent fonts throughout my magazine to make it look modern, ordered and mature. The features I include in my magazine will be appropriate for the genre of music, and will also be aimed at my target audience. The interview I am going to include in my magazine will be about a young band, to ensure they appeal to my target audience. I am going to price my magazine between £1 and £1.99, this is because the results of my questionnaire showed that this is what people would expect to pay for a music magazine, and I also think this is a reasonable price. As my magazine is aimed at both males and females I will ensure that throughout my magazine the colour scheme will not be aimed specifically at either males or females, it will be aimed at both genders. Also, the articles I include in it will be aimed at both genders, so it attracts males and females. I will use the findings from my research and the results from my questionnaire to make my magazine successful.
