Magazine Draft Number 1

Plan of my Magazine


The main target audience for a rock magazine is people with more mature taste 16+, this is mostly because of the content of rock music as it is mostly about rebellion, Rock music is not as popular anymore and so older people are going to be the ones who remember it the most, acting as a memory magazine. Also teenagers have a disposable income form part time jobs and pocket money from parents.


Male Bands are dominant with rock music and what we usually associate with the genre, even though there are Female rock artists, they tend not to be as popular and successful as the male artists.


The main image is going to dominate to cover with one image, this way the cover is not overcrowded and busy, yet it still looks like there is a lot to read in the magazine.


Upcoming tours, gigs interviews and celebrity news, will be be included in the sell lines (cover titles) in order to show the reader what is inside and to appeal to them and persuade them to buy the magazine, i would also include a free bee on the magazine, to give them another reason to invest in the magazine. The free bee could range from a music store voucher to a poster.


I would want my magazine to appeal to a mature audience such as late teens and adults, as my magazine will contain information on rock artists not only from the present but also form the past, and this means that older people will be familiar with the older artists, which can appeal more to their generation. However i will also contain some of information of present artists in order to widen my audience.
