Publication Plan

In todays lesson we had to create a publication plan containing information before we produce our final music magazine , the publication plan dicusses prices distribution etc.
Title:     Rock Revolution!

Frequency of Publication:    Weekly

Price: £1.99

Distribution:  Shops, Supermarkets

Rationale:  The approach of the magazine is by rock music experts, including a range of band members and rock artists. In the magazine it will include interviews and articles and focus on live performances and new formed bands.

Style:  The magazine will be styled informal, using humour but not afraid to offer strong comments. The magazine is for Rock fans so it will contain some simple and strong vocabulary and will be laid out in a top tabloid style, with short paragraphs and some slang.

Images will be the dominant feature of the layout.
