Here is a screen castify of my magazine in flipsnack form, this is how it would look if it were made in a physical print.
My magazine is called Stone Ocean and it is a classic Rock magazine
Stone ocean will be both distinct and similar by having the same conventions such as clothing and the overall style but it will have its own distinct features such as the eccentric poses and color schemes and just as my mission statement says, Stone Ocean is here to spread rock from ocean to ocean and to flood the audience with the best hits.
Our audience is a pretty broad range from it being the baby boomers and boomers to Gen Z, the obvious target audience is mainly older men
Why would that audience buy your magazine?
- On the contents page there is a header and page number for “Conflict” . This conflict is between the two artists “Nate” and “Caleb King” . This story of conflict would entertain everyone and have people talking all about it.
- In the contents page is another link to a page with “New Artists” . These new artists would have everyone talking about it on social media and with their friends, discussing who they like more.
- On the “Double page spread” is an article about how Nate started out from nothing, a life many can relate to due to how common struggles are. Nate’s backstory in this article will have many of his fans personal identity shaped by him as he is relatable.
- On the contents page is the link to the page number f0r “Festivals and Upcoming Concerts” this is classified as information as it lets people know when, where and how much.
I would like to work with Conde Nast as they have some of the most popular and most influential magazines in the whole magazine business. Working with an already popular publisher would allow my magazine to get out there much faster and gain popularity much quicker.
My two advertisements are for an ac/dc world tour and for a classic motorcycle brand, motorcycle brands already make quite an impact with music fans. I would hope to attract quite bold advertiser’s as a bold advertiser is easily seen and recognized and would be able to get my magazine’s name out there. Getting advertisers for Concerts, festivals and merchandise would improve the magazine’s sales more, more advertisements means more money as there is more for customers who purchase the magazine to purchase products, merchandise and concert tickets.
For distribution there has to be more than one option the most basic way to distribute a magazine it to sell it at shops and newspaper stands but other ways are; including it with other products like, buy this and get this magazine with it or sell the magazine and something come with it, another example would be a form of membership to a website where you get the newest issue every month. People are more likely to purchase the magazine if it’s worthwhile so having it be sold with something else would be beneficial as customers would see this as a bargain. Magazine sales have fallen by 65% since 2011, with some print titles have stopped publishing completely and others are going online, over half of UK adults say they still buy print magazines , although analysis suggest that small niche titles are becoming more successful.
