My proposal

I propose to make a magazine based around rock music. It will mainly concentrate on the Indie and more alternative sub-genres of rock. The magazine will update its readers about already existing and well established bands in the UK and the US such as Temper Trap, Vampire weekend and Florence and the Machine as well as regularly Informing them of the new and upcoming artists in this genre of music.
The main features of this magazine will include exclusive interviews with different artists as well as information sections that give the dates and locations on where bands will be playing in the near future. Also, each issue will also come with a freebie themed after the band focussed on for that issue.
My magazine will be primarily targeted at Males ranging from age 14-22, this is because I believe these two sub-genres of rock are becoming more and more appealing to young males. As of yet there is not yet a music magazine that focuses particularly on these sub-genres, so in affect this magazines will be filling a potential gap in the market.
