Working Title: Rock Sound
What is it called? This can change if you think of something better later
Product’s Purpose: This products main purpose is to entertain metal/ rock/ rap fans. I will achieve
this by using the information I got from my questionnaire to appeal to the most wind range
audience possible. My magazine will also be informative about Bands upcoming tours, interviews
about band members lives and upcoming album reviews
What is the product’s purpose (entertain/educate etc.) and how will you achieve this?
Genre: I will be making a print based magazine all about music. That will include more alternative
bands and artists. The magazine will mainly cover rock, metal and hip hop
What sort of product is it
Content: My product is a music magazine that covers bands, artists and music that is not in the
charts. The magazine will be similar to “Kerrang” but will have its own style to make it stand out
above the crowd. On my magazines front cover along with the main band featured, I will also have
other bands along the sides advertising the articles inside about them. At the very top I will
advertise free posters inside in a completely different colour to the rest of the magazine. I will do
this because in my survey I found out that the majority of people like to get free content when
buying a magazine.
The double page spread will be an interview with the band on the front cover.
What is your product about? Discuss what you would put in it (be specific). Does it have a story? If
so, discuss it here
Audience: With the information I gathered from my survey that my main audience will be female
aged 13-15. My magazine I will make sure my magazine appeals to this audience by covering
rock/ metal/ rap artists that also have a similar demographic.
My magazine can appeal to every social status. There aren’t any limits on who can like the music
covered in this magazine. Although some people may not be able to afford the magazine, there is
no reason why they can’t be a fan of the magazine and the music covered.
Who is your audience? Be very detailed; age, gender, social status, psychographic etc.
Why would your game appeal to this person?
Legal & Ethical Considerations: My product will not include any offensive material, however
people may choose to be offended by it because the magazine will cover metal bands, hip hop
artists and rock bands. This is not usually what is usually considered to be socially acceptable.
The magazine is mainly aimed towards females aged 13-15. However the material featured may
be unsuitable for younger children. It won’t be anything extremely offensive. Bad language may
make it into the magazine when interviewing band members. This isn’t bad as its nothing they
wouldn’t hear in the playground anyway, so younger people won’t be restricted from buying it. It
will just have to be up to their parents.
Think about any offensive material you will include?
Will you restrict younger gamers playing it?
Will it offend any social groups/religions/ethnicities?
How will you ensure you do not offend anyone?
Is your game using characters/names/logos of existing games/IPs?
Will you game be sufficiently different from existing games to not get sued for copyright
infringement?
