Pitch for a new music magazine | Task four

My magazine deserves a place on  the shelves of your shops today, because i am trying to bring out something individual and exciting. That will attract a wide rage of audience who enjoy listening and reading about Rock music. Q is my role model magazine because it has done so well for itself with its own website,radio channel and small clothing line.

An engaging title

The title of my magazine is R+Я this stand for Rock and roll also relax and read. This is a acronym and also a pun because it is symbolizing the style and genre of my magazine.I thought i would have two meanings behind the title to display to my audience that they can be in any mood and still read my magazine.Also by displaying the genre of the magazine in my title it highlights to the audience that if they buy my magazine they must show a adoration to Rock music.

House styleThroughout my magazine I am going to have a black,white and orange house style i decided to use these colours because they are extremely appealing to both sexs, also orange is very eye catching and bold. I have settled for having some of my pages different colors to represent how heavy the bands music is. E.g, black pages convey that the music will be really heavy rock. Dark blue pages is in the middle and baby blue is used for when the music isnt heavy at all. I choose to do this because it illustrates I care for my audience and also make life easier for them so they can flick onto the pages and type of music quickly.

Why are music magazines important?

Music magazine can be really important to some people. Mainly the older generation bought these before they could use the Internet to find out information and gossip on their favourite bands. Many people still buy these to collect them all. Some people just won't a break from the computer and buying a magazine is much easier. It's a much quicker way to get all the research you want in your hands. Also if you have a the magazine you can get pull out posters for your wall also will go into more detail. They also include many more articles about bands, in extreme detail. However most music magazine would give away a free album of music this would attract the audience into them.
