Distribution: Newsagents, Supermarkets, Music shops, Gigs, Festivals.
Rationale: The approach of the magazine is from a younger audience for a young
audience. We will offer insights and exclusives through articles and interviews,
and these will focus on what the target audience will want to hear and provide
answers to questions that they are interested in. The focus will be on positive
music news, rather than negatives and emphasis on bad press for artist/bands.
Style: The style will be informal, using humour, but it includes all the informative
sides of articles that will interest the audience. The magazine is for all fans of
Indie Rock music and it is mainly aimed at 16-30 year olds and therefore the
vocabulary wont be too complex, with short paragraphs and slang language.
The layout will be busy but structured with eye catching elements where images
draw in the attention of the audience.
