Publication Plan

Task Ten

Title: KRIB
Font: (Blackoak Std)
Positioning Statement: Discover your inner beat
Frequency of Publication: Monthly
Price: £3.00
Distribution: Newsagents, Supermarkets, Music Stores, Music concerts and gigs.

Rationale: The contents of the magazine is all based on audience research, focussing on what the readers want to know more about and things that appeal to them; it will not all be based on existing music magazines of the same and different genres, as it will be produced using the target audience opinions.

Style: The magazine is produced for RnB music fans, so the language used will be informal. The text will be separated into short paragraphs so that the reader actually wants to read the articles, instead of just skipping through the pages; however it will still follow a professional magazine layout including creative and striking images to attract the target audience.
