Treatment

Magazine Name: Defused

Target Readership: I have decided to aim my music magazine at girls ranging from 14 - 18year olds, who enjoy listening to R n B music and would like to read about the latest artists/bands coming out. Also Defused will have the latest looks, so young teenage girls can have the latest fashion tips, and find out what is going on in celebrities lifes, and inteviews of new artists/bands. Defused will be a reasonable price, because it is aimed at teenagers that will have either a part time job or a weekend job, so therefore they will not have as much money as people who have full time jobs there age, so i am have my magazine at a cheap price so more people will buy it, this will allow my magazine to become more popular. Defused will also give advice to the target audience.

Form and Style: Defused is an A4 colour magazine filled with purple, black and different shades of pink. Defused will contain the main topic R n B music, fashion, real life problems, the UK's top 40, and the new girl band "Flo". The front cover will be of the new girl band "Flo", who have never been seen in magazines before, and inside the low down on their brand new single. In all the other Defused magazines, the main picture will always be something linked to music, eg. famous singers/bands that have been around for a long time, or a new band just coming out. I will use the same colour scheme everytime, to link each issue to one another. I will show what is inside on the front cover, so the audience will know what to expect whats inside, and so they know they will be getting their moneys worth. This magazine will cost the readers £2.

Themes and Typical Features: Defused will have the typical features of music, sex, fashion, relationships and gossip. The strong features will be lyrics to new songs that have come out. There will also be the UK’s top 40 every week, to keep the audience up to date with the music, and also there will be reviews on new artists, old artists and their music videos etc.

Potential Advertising: There will be a range of companys/brands that will be advertised in Defused. Some of examples of these are, Tampax, New Look, Top Shop and brands like Bench, Superdry etc. The reason why i have chose shops and brands like these is because of my magazine is aimed at young teenage girls, that would want to buy and wear these brands. Also around valentines time, there will be advertisements of where the girls can buy for their valentines.

Editorial Teams: The Editorial Team for Defused, will be mainly women in their early 20’s, so they can relate to the girls. However i will have a few males on the team, so they can show a different opinion. These people will be experienced writers.
