all of the importantinformationaboutmymagazine andwhatstyle Iamaimingto do. This section in
the proposal isimportantas itwill helptounderstandmore aboutthe style of the magazine and
howto shouldrepresentthattothe audience.
Introduction
Thisis a quickintroductionof mymagazine sothat youwill know the hiddeninformationabout
Exclusive. The reasonwhythe magazine iscalled EXCLUSIVEisbecause thismagazine presents the
mostEXCLUSIVEinformationinthe musicindustry.
The main competitorformymusicmagazine is Q magazine. Thisisbecause Qmagazinehave the
same genre thanmy music.Therefore, EXCLUSIVEandQwill be sharingthe same targetaudience.
Mood Board
I have collectedimagesof differentartistandbandfromdifferentmusicera, toshow that I will
includedall artistfromdifferentmusicerainmy magazine sothat it can appeal toa largermarket,
not a specificgroupof people.
Alsoyouare able to see Imade a collectionof differentfontsandmastheadfromdifferent
magazine,soI wouldgeta clearideawhatI want myfront style tobe like.
Mood Board- Zoom in
I have zoominto6 imageswhichisfrommy moodboard andexplainthe reasonwhyIhave selected
thento be my moodboard and howitwill helpme tocreate Exclusive.The Facebooksymbolis
includedinmymoodboardas I want the target audience tobe contactedto mymagazine. Ialso
thismeanthat the target audience isallowedtocommentonthe magazine site.
Target audience
The Hartley’s7 subjectivitieswhich islookingata personage,gender,class,ethnicity,self-image,
nationand family.
By lookingatdemographicgraphI can determinedthatmytargetaudience will be inthe Esectionof
the chart will be unemployed,students,pensionerorcasual worker.
The target audience will more likelywill be student.
The reasonwhy studentsmaywantto reada musicmagazine isbecause discovermusicandistaking
an interestinthe differentgenre of musichastoofferthem.
• The ABC1 profile is70%, whichmeansthat the demographicprofile.
• The target audience will have ahighincome.Sotheycan afford to buythe musicmagazine
monthly.
• The socio- economicreveal thatmore malesratherthan female read Qmagazine.
• So bylookingat the socio- economicand ABC1 profile thiswill helpme tothinkof ideato
make more femalestoread EXCLUSIVEaswell asmale.
Target audience 2
• The Maslow theory of Q magazine will “survivors”be there evermonth.Astheywill gainthe
knowledge aboutthe musicbythe magazine. Alsobe ‘explorers’astheylike toknow
differentmusicinformationandalsoexplore differentgenreof musicaswell.
• The audience will be determiningtoprove theirqualityof life andtheirstatusinsociety.
2 | P a g e
• The Katz theory of Q magazinewill be personalidentification,sothe audience canrelate to
the singersandbandssituationandlifestyle.
• The audience will formaclose bondto thissingersandbandsafterhearingabouta
situation.Thisiscalledapersonalrelationship.
• The psychographic of Q magazinewouldbe “explorers”.Theywouldbe findingdifferent
typesof musicthat theyhaven’theardbefore andalsothiswouldbe foundinthe younger
House style
Thisis the house style formymagazine.Youcan see the colourscheme forExclusive is goldto
representacelebrationforreadingExclusive.Redrepresents rebellious, asmymagazine will include
exclusiveinformation. Iwill use Blackandwhite asthese colourare boldand easyto read.
I use 2 mainfrontsthroughmy magazines.One of the frontsiscalledLemonMilkasitisusedforall
of mytilespages.Ialsouse manbowfor mymasthead.Bothof the frontsare fromdefront.Theyare
fun,boldandeasy toread.
I will use the mastheadoneverypage of Exclusive tohave brandawarenesstothe brandidentity.
Thiswill helptoself-promote mymusicmagazine.
Hand Draw draft
Thisis myhand draw draftfor the frontcover of Exclusive.Youcansee where Iam goingto place all
of mymagazine conversion.Forinstance Iamplacingmymastheadacross the top of the magazine
because,itwill standoutfrontshopshelf.
Anotherhanddrawdraft of Exclusive isthe doublepage spread.Youcansee where Iam placingmy
entire magazine converseonthe double page spread.Youcansee where Iam placing the main
image of the lefthandconcern.You can see that I have addedto extradropcaps on thispage such
as extrainformationaboutthe albumandinformationaboutdifferentmusicartist.Thisison the
righthand concernof the page.
FlatPlan
Thisis myflatplan of Exclusive,youcansee thatmy musicmagazine have the frequencyof monthly
as it’shave 60 page whichismore than the pageson the weeklyandmonthlymagazine.The red
numberonthe flatplans show,which pageshave designed.Inmymagazine Ihave includ3edpages
such as albumsreview.
Exclusive images
Thiswill be the firstissue of Exclusive.Thisisthe firstfrontcoverandthe firstdouble page spread.
The firstissue of EXCLUSIVE magazine isthe June 2015 and it will cost£3.40.
Social Media
My Musicmagazine “EXCLUSIVE”will promotethemselvesonsocial Media,astheycan update their
fansof the latesteventinforthe magazine.Thisisa type of Below the Line promotionasit is target
to the smallerspecifictargetaudience rather thanthe massgeneralizedaudience.
One way thatmy musicmagazine will dothisisbyhave theirownTwitterpage online,sothatthey
will be able toreach to theirspecifictargetaudience atanytime of the day.
SpendingPower
I predictthat EXCLUSIVEmagazine’sreadershipandthe spendingpowersof formytarget audience.
I have to publishthe correctdate,whichisbasedonthe statisticthatI predictedforfromthe
statisticforQ magazine,whichis, publishonline.
The reasonwhy I have chosenQmagazine’sstatisticto analyses isbecause bothof the magazines
featuressimilarcontents,which isproduce.
3 | P a g e
• Therefore Ipredictthatpeople betweenthe agesof 15-24 will read EXCLUSIVEmagazineasboth
of the magazineswill feature differentgenre of artistsandbandsinboth of the magazines.
• The Hartley’ssevensubjectiveandage,gender,class, self-image,nationality,familyand
ethnicityisreference whenlookingatthe statisticof the age range of the readershipof the
magazinesandthe spendpower. Thisreveals thatthe readershipof amagazine wouldhave earn
highincome andtherefore canaffordbuying Qmagazinemonths.
• However,the statisticsforthe genderratiofor Q magazineisthata higherpercentage of males
readQ magazineratherthanfemales.Thiswouldbe the differenceboth Qmagazineandmy
predictionasthe statisticof EXCLUSIVEmagazine,asQmagazineisa male dominatedmagazine.
• Thisis way EXCLUSIVEmagazinefeaturesequal amountof femaleandmale artistsandbands,so
my magazine will be equal genderbalance andwon’tappeal toone gender.
Proposal
Thisis the write upof myproposal for E magazine. The proposal will helptodesignandcreate my
magazine.Thiswill helpme tounderstandwhatstyle mymagazine willbe like andalsoIwill know
the colourtheme that will be includedwithinmypicture,the frontanf the double page spreadof E
magazine.
Introduction
Thisis mysecondmagazine design.ItiscalledEmagazine.
The E stands for Explore.The reasonwhyit iscalled Exploreisbecause mytarget audience willbe
exploringtheirmusicinterest.Therefore mytargetaudiencewillbe ‘Explorer’.Thiswill linkwiththe
theorypsychographic,asthe term‘Explorers’means‘SEEKDISCOVERY.Energy,individualismand
experience.Valuesdifference andadventure.Typicallyayoungerdemographic(students)’ .
The main competitorof E magazineisQmagazine.Thisis important;bothof the magazines are
similartoeach other,whichmeanthattheywill share the same type of readershiptothe magazine.
Mood Board
Thisis the selectionof image fromthe Internetof whatstyle andtheme Emagazine shouldhave.
You can see one half of the page have imagesof artistand bandsfromdifferentera.
Mood Board- Zoom in
Thisis the image of the rollingstone.The oldertargetaudience can readan artistfrommusicfrom
theirchildhoodandalsoenjoyreadingit.
Target audience
• By referringtothe Hartley’s7 subjectivities,which are lookingata personage,gender,class,
ethnicity,self-image,nationandfamily.
• Studentsare inthe sectionof the E sectionof the Hartley’s7 subjectivitieschart. The reason
whystudentswill be mostlikelybuyamusicmagazine because will be interestedinmusic.
Want to see whatdifferentmusicoffers them.
• So byreferringtothe Hartley’s7 subjectivities,somymagazine will be targetedatthe E,D
and maybe C2 sectionof the chart.
• The ABC1 profile is70%, whichmeansthat the demographicprofilerevealsthatthe
readership,thisreveal thattheyhave ahighincome andtherefore theycanaffordto buythe

• There are differenttypesof music thattheyhaven’theardbefore andalsothiswouldbe found
inthe youngerdemographic(students) whichwill be foundonthe demographictable.
House style
Thisis the house style formymagazine.Youcan see the colourscheme forE magazine isgold,red,
and white andblackthe same as the colourscheme of EXCLUSIVEmagazine.All of the coloursIhave
chosento be includedinmymusicmagazine isbecause theyare boldsimpleandeasytostand out

range that read Q magazinethe most. The ages of 15-24 will read Emagazine, as bothof
