project proposal

For this project I wish to create the first two pages of a magazine focusing on the alternative music scene. this will consist of will consist of advertising local music venues such as Chinnerys and the mill, advertising local music acts, teasers of main or other stories in the magazine and other information that would be further on in the magazine. I have also chosen to create a poster for the magazine; this would be to advertise the magazine, as well as its content. Finally I have also decided to create two hyperlinked pages of the magazine’s website, this could give information about the magazine and what it aims to achieve, information about various music acts and venues that couldn’t go into the magazine and further information about previous and upcoming issues.
I want to target the magazine at teenagers and young adults because; being a teenager myself I believe that it would be suitably qualified to know what my target audience would want and expect from an alternative music magazine. This would also allow me to know what sort of content is expected from a magazine that teenagers or young people would read. There are also very few magazines that are specifically targeted at teenagers, this product will allow me to research what magazines are targeted at teenagers and what teenagers want from a magazine that is specifically targeted at them.
This product could be distributed in a variety of different ways; one being through the college, this because the college is the ideal environment because of the age of people who attend, which is the target audience that I wish to attract to the product. Another place where I could distribute this product is in local music venues I think that this would be good because I am able to refine the audience that would be exposed to the product and it allows me to have a higher chance of reaching my target audience, possibly reaching teenagers who have an interest in alternative music. The final way that I could distribute this product is outside related shops to the magazine such as HMV this would allow me to reach the aspect of the target audience who like music.
