Publication Plan

    In todays lesson we made the publication plan for our music magazine. We have to stick to the plan whilst making our magazine. These are the ideas I came up with for my magazine.

Publication Plan

Title: SpECTRUM

Positioning Statement: Rise to the Sound!

Frequency of Publication: £2.99

Distribution: Newsagents, supermarkets, airports, music shops.

Rationale: The approach of the magazine is from the reader’s perspective and will contain review, interviews and pictures about the bands which are most popular right now in order to appeal to more readers.

Style: Informal and cheerful style, strong opinions are shown but a comical approach is also taken. The magazine is for the younger generation so the type of words used will be simple and slang will also be used.
