Editorial Profile

My Editorial profile will inform you of my target audience, my magazine content and how i intend on creating the whole masterpiece.



The aim of my project is to develop a new, informative, up to date Music magazine of the Alternative Rock genre. With this magazine I hope to create a medium of Musical news and a way for fans of the genre to keep up to date with the current goings on of the Genre also. It will be a place where they can get information on new releases, new bands, current bands and old bands, and a place where they can discover new artists and slightly different variations of the genre.

The target audience for my magazine will obviously be fans of the Alternative Rock Music Genre. The age range will be aimed roughly from early teen years, to early twenties, so from 13-23 which allows room for all ages of teenager and even slightly older as this is the age range that i have found is most common for fans of this genre.

From my poll result, i can learn that a magazine cover for this genre will ideally be one with alot of things going on, so there mught be one main, central image, but there will be more, smaller ones around it, and will have fair amounts of colour and also have smaller taglines on it. My magazine will stick to a fairly consistent colour scheme of black, yellow and red. this colour scheme will appear throughout. These colours are fairly bright and noticable which will increase the chances of the magazine standing out on the shelves.

A free Mini demo album will be issued to readers within the magazine to be used as the magazines unique selling point. This is to encourage the otential readrs to buy the magazine and show them when they should by this one over others.

The language used, or the mode of adress, will be more towards the slang and informal side of the spectrum to try and realte more to the younger/ teenage members of the Target audience, but it will still have a slight sense or formality to link in with more potential older readers of the magazine.
