Treatment

The magazine: The sound

Target Readership:The sound is a new magazine aimed at male and female young adults around 16-26 years old who really like listening hip-hop and rap music. But also younger aged groups will be intrested in reading my magazine as it contains useful information for everyone like top 50 songs of 2011. But older people may not like The sound as it contains specific pictures and texts which represent modern music and some of parents may find it not intresting. There is something intresting for every sex. For male, examples of singers as role models. And for female different interviews and texts. My magazine specialised on music so every article is about it. As well it contains a little bit about fashion as readers can see singers clothing and use it as an example. My magazine has a strong sense of modern music and this is why I decided to make a list of top 50 songs of 2011. 

Form and Style:The sound is an A4 full colour magazine which contains interviews, reviews, news about music and as the main article top 50 songs of 2011. The model for a cover page will be a male 17-18 years old who is a new coming up singer. Colourful colours as yellow and red will attract more audiences. Each issue will feature a new coming up singer on the front cover. My magazine is specialized in a genre of hip-hop so the main page and contains will be designed in this specific style to make The sound outstanding. The masthead must be recognizable and colourful. The price will be between £2.60-£3.00 which is normal for a magazine which has around 80-100 pages in every issue. 

Themes and Typical features:The sound is specialized on singers who just become famous, kind of advertising them as well an issue contains some articles about already famous singers as Skepta, Dappy and etc. Also it will include interviews, reviews, different charts and top 50. The language used in a magazine will be informal and simple as possible, so teenagers can understand the articles easily and find it intresting. 

Potential advertisers:A lot of brands will be advertised in every issue which are specialized on music mostly. For example: Beats, Ecko, etc. 

Editorial team:The editorial team will be made up of experienced writers and designers. The team must be made up of male, female and different aged groups so they can bring new ideas.
