Cover Artists Profile

Name of Artist is 'Kids On The Run' because this is the models bands name. The name could also represent anarchy and rebellion also which goes in with the rock and roll genre of the magazine. A song that represents the band is Breed by Nirvana, it is fast, sloppy, punky and simple. The model will be Brogan Finnigan, who will be wearing a red green and yellow saggy beanie hat to show the colourfulness and strangeness the magazine is trying to show off. He will also be wearing a vest to add to the rock n' roll look as well as red skinny jeans to top the look off. The record label they will be signed to is Hassle Records as it is a fairly small labels for strange rock bands such as Turbowolf, The James Cleaver Quintet, and Rolo Tomassi.

Institution Publishing My Magazine

Bauer Media Group published Q magazine, but more ideally, Kerrang! magazine, and therefore this is the ideal choice of publisher for my magazine, as I know that they are experienced with the genre of rock music, and are successful at publishing this magazine, and therefore my magazine idea would not be far out of there comfort zone and they would be willing to do it.

My Pitch.

Audience Profile

Reynold, aged 18, lives at home with his mum, and has a part time time job. The walls on his room are plastered with posters of his favourite bands and tickets from the various gigs that he has attended. Although the majority of music he listens to is heavy and fast, he has no problem with pop music or slow soul music, and is open minded towards anybody as long as he thinks they have genuine talent.

Magazine Audience

My magazine will mainly be aimed towards males but this doesn't mean it is not open for females.
It will be aimed mainly towards 15-30 year olds as for magazines such as Kerrang! which will have a similar audience to me, the mean age is 22 and has a very young audience. The target audience goes up to 30 as my magazine focuses on a more strange genre of music and therefore the audience may have to be more experienced music listeners, and the minimum target age is about 15 as music magazines popularly have a young audience and often you grow out of loving music and buying magazines after you have grown up.
