Music Magazine Ideas adn Audience Research

      I've been planning my magazine ideas for a while now, but considering all this i haven't actually figured out a name for my magazine yet.

     The demographic i looked into first for my magazine was gender, my audience is going to be mostly aimed at females, even though there are many 'rock' magazines out for both genders i felt that there could be one just aimed at mostly females as it would be a good idea, so i could add in separate things other than music like make up and girly related topics. My age group is between 14-19 year olds, i chose this age because they are probably most interested in the latest band gossip, also because my magazine is a typical 'rock' magazine at this age most teenagers want to become their own person and some would consider themselves in a 'tribe', which comes to my idea of the psychographic of my magazine.

     I think mostly punks and goths,
skaters http://www.uktribes.com/?p=tribe&id=11
emos http://www.uktribes.com/?p=tribe&id=9

and scene kids http://www.uktribes.com/?p=tribe&id=10,

but also the typical girly girl ...

... that likes rock music would be interested in reading and buying my magazine, you don't really need to be in a tribe just to buy this magazine in my opinion. My magazine will be based in England, so then people can see where abouts in England certain gigs are, the bands i include in my magazine wont just be from England though but some from other countries like America for example.

     I have decided to have a catchphrase for my magazine which would help promote my magazine because its similar to kerrang.. it will be like ' kerrangs sisters' but as you can see i need to perfect the catchphrase. Kerrangs price is about £2.20, and i will price my magazine at £2.00 as it is new on the market and i would want people to buy it. As its new on the market and cheaper than Kerrang i hope alot of people will buy it and i get a profit on it.

     The content in my magazine would be similar to ones already out there, like Kerrang and Rock Sound, except it would have more feminine content like make up and fashion and hair ideas. I will include things like band interviews, album and song reviews, gig reviews and posters etc. It will also include a variety of rock music from pop-punk to screamo to heavy metal, to attract a wider audience.

     My magazine will be like the style of Kerrang but more feminine so it will have brighter colours like pinks and purples, it will have famous bands/artists on the front but also unknown ones mentioned as a cover line so people will be interested to see the review on them. My magazines unique selling point will be that its target audience is females, as most other magazine are usually aimed at males.
