99 Target Audience: Mixed Gender 16-30 Positioning Statement: Respect Rock Frequency of publication: Weekly Distribution: Major Supermarkets, co-op, spar and WHSmith Issue Size: 70-75 pages Genre of music: Rock and Metal Colours used: Black, grey and red Rationale: My magazine will be for the older audience who like Rock and Metal but cant find a magazine right for them, focusing on a genre that is quite widely ranged and aiming at a target audience thats mature and not many magazines of this genre aim at, creating the perfect, new, fresh magazine. Keeping up with the latest stars and their music. Style: Written in quite a formal way with some jokes to keep it fun so the audience dont get bored. The colour scheme will be consistent so it is easy to spot on the shelf when people are looking for it. Different columnists will be used for different parts of the magazine with a letter from the columnist and their picture so the reader really feels like the have a relationship with the magazine and its people. The text I would like to use for my masthead is a distressed font but also looks quite neat to appeal to the older audience.
