Publication Plan

In todays lesson we came up with a publication plan which contains all our decisions for what will go inside our magazine.

Publication plan

Rationale: The approach of the magazine will be from the readers/fans perspective. We will ask questions that they themselves would ask and also questions which answers what they may have always wanted to know, the articles and everything in the magazine will be based about music and the bands involved.

Style: The style of the magazine will be informal and to the point. It will use humour and slang that will appeal to the target audience, it will use words that the target audience will understand about music and musicians.
