The treament

My magazine "Rock Star" is a weekly Rock magazine set for young teenagers. Its going to be sold monthly because this will save people money instead of spending more money every week.

The magazine will appeal to both genders because its easy to form. The people that star inside will be new bands, around from local areas, and people that are trying to make it big. Some times t will feature well know bands but I might use these bands for one off issues. However it will have the famous bands inside it's just that they wont be the main topic of the magazine. The main ideas I want people to get from this magazine is that it introduces people into new music, and help new bands make it famous.



Themes and typical features:

Features inside the magazine will include interviews, gig details, and live shows, I will also include a poster offer Evey 2 weeks. The sale value will be £2.75 for every month, this being an average fair price. I have now thought that the magazine would become a better adaption to be featured on the kerrang! website as a free online magazine.

Topical conversation involved the magazine will people views on gigs, recommendations on what good bands are out there. I think this magazine will be a good way to introduce people into unknown bands so this will get their popularity up. This can also be used to my advantage because I think a poll every 2 months will let the reader get their opinions out and this would be a great way to improve the magazine.

Typical features will involve the poster offer, using this as a bit of fun, also a free CD that has the new bands on so it gives the reader a chance to know if you like them or not.

The magazine Will be A4 and will have approx 45+ pages depending on how many bands a month we could find, and what advice we have . I'm thinking that having a weekly help from a well know band eg "30 seconds to Mars" in a questionnaire in what made them turn to music, who inspired them, and what advice they have for people that want to turn to music for a Carree



potential advertisers:

My magazine will introduce new bands, so I think my main adverts will be mentioning further education towards music, record dealers and how they can get you in high success, band concerts/gigs, places where you can buy good instruments. For example in the adverts case things like "Aloud.com" a ticket sale company, "gear4music.com" sells instruments, "EvoMusicRooms" record company.

I think having companies like that supporting my magazine will increase people buying it, this being that its know for helping people get further with their music, great on advice on what you need to become a world famous band, and an introductions towards new bands.





Editorial Team:



The people running the magazine will be people already in bands, and have close contacts to new bands some even local and see if they have what it takes to be featured in next months magazine.

I would prefer that they are young internes and have a good experience in English so that the interviews, cover stories, and gig reviews. I doing so im hoping that it would become a sauces and it will want more people to join bands, go to more gigs, and lsten to new music.

This will get the rattings up and increase in the profit.
