magazine proposal

I am writing to you to propose a magazine investment in my magazine called ‘premises’ which is about rock/indie music for young people aged between the ages of 15 to 20 years of age, the reason for the choice of my target audience is because the content is mainly aimed at that age of readers.

The content in the magazine is a lot interviews from up and coming bands and famous bands that are key to the target audience, guides to festivals,product reviews and the latest clothes.The magazine is going to have few major social network accounts like Instagram,Facebook and twitter so that we can create a larger fan base and can have online updates that people can see on the go or on their mobile phones.

The media institution that already produces the magazine but doesn’t advertise the  magazine as much as the large.My reason for the choice of my magazine institution is because they already produce large music magazine like kerrang etc.

the reason i have chosen the name premises is because it is another name for the places gigs happen like when you will see a sign that says something not being allowed on the premises which is were the name has originated from.

the same font but will change colours to suit the main image on the front cover and will also have a house style through out the issues.

contents page analysis

The contents page that i will be analysing is from Q music magazine.The editor has used house style on the contents page so that the contents page doesn't look unprofessional and because i have read this magazine i know that the same colours and font are consistently used through out the publication.The editor has used large number on each image so show significant pages in the magazine, maybe because the are the most important stories in the magazine.
The logo has been featured at the top of the contents page so when you see it you know what the logo is from.An editors letter features at the bottom of the contents page to tell the reader about some of the editors background and about what is going to feature in this issue of the Q magazine.On the left side of the contents page there is different page numbers and also under them it has a small piece of information thats is probably about the stories or some extra information that isn’t in the articles.Some of the bad things on the contents page is there isn’t many images and because of this it doesn’t really effect the reader in anyway and also one of the images i very large which takes up most of the room on the page.
Because Q magazine has a large fan base they can always use this house style and also Q usually features some of the biggest artists and bands in the music business and because of this people will still want toe by the magazine.
