Publication plan

In today’s lesson I did my publication plan, whereby I made final decisions surrounding my magazine. I used my questionnaire results to help me make these decisions.
Title:





BASS
Positioning statement: Feel the beat
Price: £2.00
Distribution: Newsagents, Supermarkets, Music shops, Concerts.
Rationale: This magazine is honest and fair about music. We know that every person has their own opinion and respect that. We want the reader to enjoy the music like people should and we will give them as much information, insight and interviews with and about artists as we possibly can.
Style: Informal, uses humour and strong opinion however is not rude. Uses colloquialism in some articles and expletives in a minor form
Images will dominate the layout features.
