The Treatment
The Magazine: Target readership: Remix is a new magazine aimed at both male and females who enjoy and maybe admire dance/electro music. The reader of this magazine will be aged around 18 to 24 but could appeal to anybody surrounding them or even an unspecified age. The readers from about 18-21 will mainly rely on their parents for finance; with maybe a small job in retail. Their parents are most likely to fall into the C1/C2 socioeconomic but readers from about 22-24 will mainly work and earn their own wage, from a range of different jobs.
They will mainly be mainstreamers, who will not want to challenge media content but will also maybe aspirers, who would like to be into this specific music category and think highly off the artists/ celebrities as they might look to them as role models. Their fashion will be like dance/eletro artists and quite dominant, colourful and loud. They will have a desire for this type of music and will want the latest music, gossip, news, clothing and accessories. The reader of Remix would have grown up in a country with equality of each gender type. They will understand that hard work will lead to success like their role models in the magazine, and will want to be in the socioeconomic group A. The reader will be interested in fashion and the latest trends, and will also like dancing and may watch shows such as "Got to Dance".
Form and Style: Remix magazine will have an A4 front cover and contents page, but an A3 double page spread like the picture to the right. It will be a classy magazine containing different celebrities, news, awards, albums, gossip, trends and features of mainly big artists. The main theme of the magazine will be a bold style with possibly some graffiti as this relates well with the targeted audience. The cover picture will be of a famous dance/electro star and will portray this genre of music well. Competitions may also be included to attract the reader as well as a free gift. The magazine will be sold at £4.50 which is well priced as the reader will get a lot for their money, with the free gift, competitions and many informative articles and interviews. The cover lines will also be the most enticing pages within the magazine and will be about what the main reader wants to know. I may also use a graphic on the page to emphasis a specific topic that i would want the reader to recognise.
Theme and typical features: Features that will appear in the magazine often will be a well known artist involved in the genre dance/electro with an interview of the artist inside the magazine. This will also create a sense of familiarity of the magazine and will be expected by readers. This magazine will mainly be about music but will also include topics like latest trends, news, celebrity gossip, real-life stories and reviews. The celebrity gossip will be a central focus and will be summarised in every issue, as well as looking at the reviews from albums, films and games. The mode of address will be quite friendly inviting the audience into the magazine allowing them to experience a welcoming feeling.
Potential advertisers: Remix will advertise a range of brands with each issue, to do with fashion, music and maybe some other smaller brands, such as:
· Topman/Topshop
