  WORKING TITLE  Thetitle of my magazine is going to be “Outlaw” I want the font to be street-stylish. These are the different fonts I want to use in my magazine. The second font I am going to use as the headlines in the magazine.
• 3.
  FREQUENCY OF PUBLISHING My magazine is going to be published once a month, this is based on my market research and questionnaire.  Mostly people would like to the magazine to be published once a month because they may not afford it when it is published more frequently.
• 4.
  COVER PRICE  Thecover price would be £3.00 because the price would be reasonable for my target group. The price is compared to the frequency of the publishing, so I would gain profit for selling it just once a month.  I would also offer a subscription to the readers with a better deal, where the readers can get a year/half year subscription for a lower price.
• 5.
  GENRE  The genrefor my music magazine is going to be hip-hop/rap. Based on my questionnaire and interview people seem to like either hip-hop or rock. My favourite genre is hip-hop/rap so I wanted to make a music magazine about this genre.  In the UK you find a lot of rock magazines like Q, NME etc. If I am going to sell my magazine I have a better chance to sell my magazine in the hip-hop genre than in the rock genre.

  STYLE  The styleof my magazine is going to be a contrast between street and proper styles.  I want it to be rough and soft to show the different sides of the artists in the genre Hip- Hop/Rap.  The contrast in the magazine should be dirty/dark to light, soft and clean.  The colours will be Black, grey, white, red. The pictures in the magazine are maybe going to be black and white.

  DUMMIE OF FRONTPAGE  This is my example of my front page. It will contain the main artist of my magazine. It will be split in half so you can see two different sides of the artist. The soft and bad side. The title is the title of the magazine.
