Music Magazine Proposal

My magazine is going to be called ‘generation’ and is going to be a pop magazine, its target audience is going to be girls aged 14+. It will include things that girls around that age would like such as popular television shows, shopping, festivals, popular music artists, fashion and makeup. It will be slightly more mature than the typical pop magazine e.g. top of the pops; it will be similar to magazines like billboard and teen vogue. I chose pop as it is the most popular type of music so will appeal to a wide audience and possibly secondary audiences.

I would publish my magazine with ‘Hearst’ who publish magazines such as Elle, Company, Bazaar and Cosmopolitan so they publish magazines relating to fashion and with similar target audiences. They also publish magazines such as reveal and inside soap relating to the gossip side of the magazine and they also publish sugar scape; for the younger audience.

My magazine will be distributed in print form but also a replicated website where readers can interact by a daily updated web page, and can access things spoke about in the magazine such as music videos and new artists.

Some features I will be likely to include in my magazine are: festivals and fashion event coverage, high street versions of celebrity outfits, how to recreate celeb makeup looks, makeup reviews, artist interviews and weekly music charts and up coming artists. My magazine will be £2.50 as in my target research that was the most popular price for a magazine.

My unique selling point will be that it will be a music magazine but it will include all the aspects of the music e.g. the fashion and the makeup of the actual artists etc.. This will hopefully appeal more to my target audience of teenage girls. Also that it will be slightly more mature than the typical pop magazine so hopefully appeal to a wider audience.
