Music Magazine Pitch

Genre
Music magazine in which there will be a range of different music styles so that the magazine is not necessarily directed to a specific audience.

Weekly/ Monthly price
I would price a monthly music magazine at around £3.75. There are likely to be many more special stories and offers than a weekly magazine and this would therefore make the monthly magazine more expensive to produce.

Audience profile
If a magazine covers a range of music styles and genres, it would broaden the readership, for instance a certain type of music is likely to determine the age of a reader. If many music styles are represented, the magazine will be read by a much wider range of people, e.g. age of person, style of music they may like etc.

Name (associations)
A music magazine title needs to be short, recognisable and bold so that on a shelf of magazines competing with eachother, a particular one will stand out to potential buyers. The title of a magazine is usually positioned at the top of the magazine front cover, starting in the left-third. The colour can be interchangeable so that it matches the main cover image for example.

House style, font, colours
A house style will run through the whole music magazine, much like different colours and fonts. The colours on the front cover will mostly be a match to colours used in the double page spread. These colours are likely to be colours associated with the musician who is being interviewed.

Images
A main image of the musician will dominate the background of the double page spread. At the bottom of the right page, images of the musician as they have progressed through their career to show their advances and how they have improved.

Double page spread (QA interview) (Artist/ Group profile)
The double page spread will consist of a question and answer interview with a specific musician. On the left hand page before the interview there will be an insight into the musicians music and at the bottom of the left hand page there may be a profile of the musician. Having a profile enables any reader who does not know so much about the musician to gather a good understanding of the style of them.
