Aim of my magazine. (Task1)

The magazine i have chosen to produce will be a magazine about festivals and the people featuring in each festival.

My target audience will be male or female, 16+ as people of all different ages go to festivals depending on the bands playing.

My magazine would probably not have one specific genre as all different types of bands and artists will perform.

I think it is a good idea because there isnt a magazine right now that is just released once a year on only festivals.

Quick analysis of NME magazine. (Task 2)

NME magazine.

Owner: IPC Media

Launched: 7th March, 1952

Editor: Krissi Murison (first female editor of NME, July 2009)

Genre: Indie/Alternate music

Puff: NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS

Price: £2.30

Circulation: 38,486

Readership: 369,000

Advertising portfolio: Clubs, Magazine, Website, Awards, Tours, TV and Radio.

Frequency: Weekly

I think this magazine would be a competitor for mine because the music featured in the magazine will be featured at festivals everywhere.

quick analysis of x-factor magazine. (Task2)

x-factor magazine

Owner: Free mantle & Syco entertainment (owned by Simon Cowell)

Launched: September 2010

Senior editor: Peter Robinso

Genre:

Masthead: X MAGAZINE

Puff: Music, Stars, Style

Price: £1.95

Circulation: 300,000

Advertising portfolio: TV, Tours, Magazines, Website and Merchandise.

I think this magazine would be a competitor to mine because although it sells all year round it would be most popular at the time the x-factor main show starts, and my magazine would be most popular for when the festivals start.
