My Music Magazine Outline

Outline: I want my magazine to look at both present and old bands e.g. a band that has come back together after a few years to release a new album or an upcoming band. I will focus mainly on new ones and will have a mini ‘oldies’ section where I will look at classic bands and artists.

Name: I have decided to go with the name because after doing a little survey of which name would be best out of the names I came up with in the previous post the majority of people liked the name ‘Sync’ because it was short and catchy. I also feel that it links to my magazine well because sync is a term used when two things are happening at the same time or when play sounds together or when someone sings in perfect synchronicity with music which is great because my magazine is obviously a music magazine and it keeps people in formed or in ‘Sync’ with what’s new and good in terms of music these days.

Genre: I will be looking at the music industry kind of as a whole as I will bee looking at new music like ‘NME’ does however I will also look at some genres of music the NME does not such as Metal bands. I will also look at some old bands in my ‘oldies’ section because not only will in appeal to older readers but because a lot of old music is being liked by younger people more and more it will appeal to the younger readers as well.

Why have I chosen to do this? : Well I like the whole modern keeping with the times thing that NME has but I realised that there are some genres of music that NME do not look at mainly Metal bands and because metal is one of my favourite genres of music I feel like I combine the two magazines and look at all different kinds of music including metal plus the stuff NME covers.

Target audience: My magazine is mainly for the younger generation however a small part of my magazine does cover old bands and artists as I mentioned before so there is a small appeal for the older generation but it is predominantly aimed at young people. : Well I like the whole modern keeping with the times thing that NME has but I realised that there are some genres of music that NME do not look at mainly Metal bands and because metal is one of my favourite genres of music I feel like I combine the two magazines and look at all different kinds of music including metal plus the stuff NME covers.

Possible Magazine names

A name is obviously an important part of the magazine because that is what it is called and what everyone will know it by besides what it is about, In fact a name is important for anything, they have to be memorable cool relevant and catchy which is actually another important factor because if a magazine has a long name it is less likely to become know and popular.

It is always good when the name of a magazine has something to do with the magazine itslef or can be linked to it in some way for example the name 'NME' is directly linked to the magazine because it is short for 'New Music Express' and the magazine looks at all of the modern bands that are out at the moment anbd upcoming ones we can expect to see more of in the near future.

I want my magazine to be similar to this, I want to look at whats new in terms of music, bands artists what ever is out there thats new and people would want to know about

Here are som names that I have come up with which I think link well to my magazine and are catchy:

• Sync
• In Sync
• Sync It
• Syncronize
• Current
• Wave
• Bytes

I am not sure of which one I will pick yet but I will probably narrow it down in terms of what is the catchyest and coolest.
