Publication Plan

Publication Plan

Posistioning statement: All time indie mag.

Frequency of publication: Monthly

Price: £3.00

Distribution: Newsagents, supermarkets and music shops eg: hmv

Rationale: The approach of the magazine is for indie fans, that like this specific genre of music. It is very much from the bands perspective. We will offer insights, and reviews of each gig and give a chance to win any backstage passes relating to the band. It will be a chance for the fans to get a closer look on any information and have a chance to ask any questions.

Style: Informal and a layed back content, using humour but strong comments relating to the band. The magazine is all about indie bands so the vocabulary included will follow, relating to the gig reviews short paragraphs and slang will be used.

The colour and pictures will be the dominant feature of layouts.
