Plan
As the typical target audience for music magazines is older teenagers, students and young adults, because the majority of their income (despite it being low) is disposable, for example part time jobs and pocket money, I aim to conform to this and include features which will appeal to this demographic.
The genre of Indie Rock is dominated by male bands, with the occasional female artist, which suggests a lack of credibility for women within the industry. Therefore to develop the diversity I would like to include a large image of a female band as my main image and include a 'get to know you' interview etc.
Sell lines such as details of interviews, gig dates and tours and some sort of 'exclusive' only for the readers will add to the persuasive power to buy the magazine. Because of the limited income for the targeted social group, special offers would be extremely effective; for example 'buy this magazine and get a free £5 HMV voucher'.
As there are not many examples of music magazines for this specific genre I will be able to be fairly creative with the headline and design.
You have gone into lots of detail here alice, and I think it will look really good and profeesional!:)
