The document outlines a proposal for a music magazine focused on venues in Hertfordshire, England. It will be released in print and digitally during the summer to coincide with local music festivals. The magazine aims to showcase the music offerings in Hertfordshire, from festivals to clubs, to attract both local and outside readers interested in live music. It will feature details on venues, events, and local bands to promote Hertfordshire's music scene. The proposal discusses the magazine's target audience, competitors, budget, and production details.
2. Purpose
• To create a music magazine that will
be digital and physical that will include
musical venues in Hertfordshire such as
music festivals and music clubs.
3. Statement of
needs
• I need to show what
Hertfordshire has to offer when it
comes to music and name different
venues to listen to music.
• From this it needs to show what
Hertfordshire has to offer which
may not be as known which in this
case is music
4. Competition
• Most music magazines wont be as specific as
mine as mine specializes in Hertfordshire music
• This means this differentiates my magazine
from other competition making it much more
appealing
5. Form and genre
• It will be a music magazine
featuring festivals This means this
differentiates my magazine from
other competition making it much
more appealing
• It will be 50 pages
• It will be released during
summer due to the fact that’s
when most of these events happen
6. strengths • One strength it appeals to a wide
audience as many young people enjoy
going out to music festivals and if
released in the summer could increase its
potential for readers as young people will
be looking for something to do.
• Another strength is that more people
would buy it to find out about festivals in
Hertfordshire which would be very
interesting to young readers as they may
have never heard of these places before
as they go under the radar and it gives
them an incentive to buy the magazine to
go to new places, and this benefits the
local people and businesses.

orange
This is the font for the headline STHupo
8. Target audience

equipment for the magazine

personell for every area
10. budget

13. Conclusion
I think my magazine will be a good idea
as it will spread awareness about the
variety of music festivals in Hertfordshire
as well as instrument shops, this will also
bring in people from neighbouring
counties which will bring in customers to
local businesses, it also would be
generally cheaper to make then other
genres of magazine due to the fact that
many of these places will already have
photos online which may save money on
the cost of equipment.
