STYLE SHEET My colours are fairly basic, most of the magazine cover will be black and white however there will be a splash of colour round the text boxes and maybe the masthead.

TITLE

The title of my magazine is Liberty. The name comes from the statue of liberty in New York, I wanted my magazine to be high end and have a feel of New York City. Some of the biggest artists in the world come from and work in New York and it is seen as a very popular place to be seen.

GENRE OF MUSIC

The genre of music in my magazine is going to be pop. Artists such as Beyoncé and Rihanna would feature in my magazine . The biggest and best artists in the pop and R’N’B world would be the sort of people to have big spreads in my magazine. The adverts will focus on teenagers especially girls so adverts for Topshop and other brands like that.

COVER PRICEMy magazine will retail at £3 because after my survey was completed a lot of people said that they would pay around that much for a magazine that was released monthly. This also compares to other music magazines out there such as Q and my magazine is very similar to this type of magazine.

PUBLICATION PATTERN I plan to release my magazine every month. This means more content than a weekly magazine but makes it more expensive because you only buy it once a month. My survey showed that people prefer to buy a magazine less regularly but it to have more content.

FLATPLANOn the previous page there is a flatplan of the first 50 pages of my magazine. This shows the type of thing that I will include in my magazine and how it will be set out. It gives a good indication about what the readers can expect within the magazine and it will change according to the feedback we receive.
