Genre: Folk/Alternative
Magazine Name: 'The Blue Violin' because the violin is synomous wuith Folk music (and i have always wanted a blue violin)or 'BlueGrass' which is a little known sub-genre of Folk music.
Audience: 16-50 i have chosen such a large target age range for my audience becasue my idea is to bring in readers who already know about folk but also to help young people who like folk to get into it. i plan to make my magazine more contempoary then other Folk magazines because young people have started to enjoy folk and it is very much a music of the people, so everyone should get to hear about it.
Tagline: 'Real music with Real history' 'no dubbing, no editing, just real music'
Editorial mission statement: To provide news reviews and all the newest bands to the fans of real music as well as spreading the word of Folk to the younger generation.
Reader Profile: Readers of this magazine know what authentic, raw music sounds like and prefer it because of the danger it can provide. they have a love of live music and festivals, thriving in the summertime. they have a stories to tell or a story to write and they are the true soul of music. they want to be informed about upcoming live events and festivals as this is what they live for. these are the people who sit back, with the sun beaming down and enjoy life, enjoy their pint of cider and most of all enjoy their music.
ideas for front cover: for my front cover i want to get the real sunny country feel to it. i want the picture to be of someone with an acoustic instument maybe a violin of guitar and have them just playing in the sun. i think this would give the essence of folk music out straight away as it is people playing for the music and not the money. this person will be my feature article as this is a theme most magazines use. i do not want to pack the front cover with too much as i want it to look calm and relaxed so will have a few subheadings and the image and feature article as my focus.
