Task 9 Final Proposal

The document proposes a rock music magazine titled "RIFT" targeting young white British women ages 16-21. It will focus on alternative rock to explore this niche audience that is often ignored. The magazine will feature a female model on the cover using rock imagery and colloquial language. Initial interior ideas include incorporating more rock images and themes across models of different music genres on the contents page. A double page spread will feature the cover model in various outfits and a free flowing article. Photographs will show models with props clearly related to rock music in direct address to the audience.

Task 9- Formal Proposal

Title
I have decided on the title RIFT for my Music Magazine. I have chosen the word
Rift as it carries connotations of distortion and being broken- themes which are
touched upon occasionally in the rock music genre, Rift is also sometimes used
instead of the word riff when describing a guitar riff, a particular arrangement
of notes which is common in rock music which would appeal particularly to the
niche market of rock music fans.
Genre
I have decided to do a rock music magazine, focusing mainly on alternative rock.
I have decided upon this genre as I have a personal interest in it and know
knowledge on the topic before even constructing my magazine, being able to
have a strong understanding of the codes and conventions of said genres
magazines. I also believe that there is an unexplored market for rock music
amongst young women which isnt often touched upon, and this is something I
would which to explore.
Target Audience
My Magazine will be targeted towards White British young women around the
ages of 16 to 21, coming from middle class backgrounds and living a typical
student lifestyle (i.e. attending college/university, may have a part time job,
etc.). My target audience is rather unconventional for a rock magazine as the
artists in the genre are predominantly male therefore it is assumed the sales
market would also be made up of a male majority, however I believe that my
magazine will be able to appeal to a niche market of female rock fans that are
often ignored by most rock-themed media products.
