Featured artist:
Regular readers of ,magazine and is specifically focused to a certain market (niche) this could be done by posting the magazine regularly to the readers. Electronic distribution works the same similar way but the magazine would be delivered to the customers iPad/tablet etc.
Vibe and NME magazine are mainly male readers
66% are male readers and 38% are female readers in NME magazine. Vibe magazine is targeted at young urban followers between the age of 18-34 both female and males but mostly males. My magazine would be targeted towards both genders and would like to attract adults who are working class between the age of 18-25 years old.
Hobbies- Going to gigs,music festivals (weekends), Collecting Albums
Clothing- Street wear (jumpers,t-shirt,caps,jeans etc.)
Other interest-Collecting posters,reading
Eminem,Drake,Lil Wayne, J Cole,The Killers,Florence and the machine, 30 secound to mars. i have chosen these artist because they are commonly known .
I have chosen this distribution because it makes it easier for readers and makes sure that there is core readership for the magazine.
Regulars:
Publisher -
- Album of the week
- Latest singles
Allows readers to see what gig events are coming up and makes it easier for them to book as it gives the location time date and who the artist is
IPC is an appropriate publisher for this magazine as it already publishes NME. IPC is one of the UK’s biggest publisher therefore I would not need much promoting. IPC Media is the UK's leading consumer magazine and digital publisher,with more than 60 iconic media brands; IPC creates content for multiple platforms, across print, online, mobile, tablets and events. They engage with 26 million UK adults - almost two thirds of UK women and over 40% of UK men
Gig Guide -
decided to put the masthead here because it is a common place to place it
Competitions -
I have chosen a similar layout (NME).This is because it makes it clear to the reader who the artist is on the other page.
This side of the page would be the picture of the artist i am going to include.
Readers simply give a reason why they should be the one to go the Fusion music festival. Also another competition is to answer questions and win headphones. This would encourage readers to participate and win one of the prizes.
cover lines are here because the vibe magazine I researched on had cover lines on the this side of the page
Fan mail -
Readers can get in touch through Facebook Twitter,letters and we would respond back. Also they could send us picture of indie rock/hip hop artist that they had met recently and we would publish it in the upcoming magazine. Therefore this would make readers buy the magazine as they would want to see if there message/pictures has been featured in the magazine.
The house style for the magazine is going to be Black,Red and White this is because the 2 magazines i researched Vibe and NME also had 3 colours
used a pull quote in the middle in my dps because that the first thing readers read
This section is going to be the Questions and Answer were we interview the artist
What makes it different
The 2 case studies i did was NME and VIBE magazine .NME is a rock indie magazine and it focuses mostly on bands. Vibe magazine focuses more in hip hop and r&b music artist. Therefore i decided to combine both genres together. Also it allows readers to post their own messages/opinions showing them that they are being involved in the magazine.
These boxes is representing the featured artist which is going to be used in the magazine.
Genre
Indie and Hip-HOP . I decided to choose these 2 genres because it mostly known by a lot of people
Ideas for title of publications
- Thrill- Its gives a feeling of excitement
- Fusion- Fusion Music that combines 2 or more styles together.
- Zeal- Great energy/enthusiasm to a certain objective
