Publication plan

Publication Plan

In this lesson I created my publication plan for my magazine.

Title:  senseless

Positioning statement: To fulfil you’re musical needs

Frequency of publication: monthly

Price: £1.99

Distribution: Newsagents and supermarkets.

Rationale: The approach of the magazine is very much from the fans perspective. The magazine will consist of new gigs, interviews with the latest bands, opinion and insights. It will be focused on interviews with bands and the latest styles and music, including free posters.

Style: Informal to relate to the reader and make it more relaxing to read, also using easy vocab and slang. Also with the interviews it will have a main image and short paragraphs with certain quotes larger than the rest (important quotes). Making it easier for the reader to read. Aimed for teenagers from 16-30.
