The treatment.

The magazine: LOUD!

Target readership: The LOUD! reader is aged 15-17 late school students and college students, particularly aiming at teenagers interested in many genres of music of both sex. They enjoy concerts, gigs, celebrities and ins on musicians (interviews) and upcoming music events as well as a general interest in entertainment.
Many younger readers of the magazine will rely on their parents for finance yet with the nowaday market struggling, money is tight so my magazine has to stand out enough to survive during the harsh times.

Form and style: The magazine will be A4 full colour containing celebrity interviews, gossip, upcoming events, latest news. Celebrities will appear on the front cover and upcoming artists to interest the target audience, either gender will appear on the front cover. The front cover will have a cluttered feel to it so the reader feels that they are getting more value for their money. Cover lines will inform the reader of many articles and information that will be included within the magazine. The magazine will sell at £3.00 a fairly averaged, cheap price for a music magazine.

Themes and typical features: Regular features such as celebrity articles, competitions, upcoming events and news will appear in the magazine, it will have informal language to seem familiar with to the target audience; this makes it interesting and worth reading. Now and again the magazine will feature specials such as the 50 top albums, top singles, special competitions etc.

Potential advertisers: Advertise things that suit the readers interests, advertise upcoming events, celebrity gigs etc, clothing lines, electrical goods (technical products such as headphones).

Editorial team: The editorial team will be made up of experienced writers and designers, all who can write music articles and reviews well. The team will be made up of both men and women to reach both of the target audiences; comments from the readers will be welcomed by the editorial team. The aim of the editorial team is to bring new ideas and information to the music readers.
