Music Magazine Pitch

I have decided to call my magazine  name 'Xplicit'. The genre will be based on R'n'B and this will be a monthly magazine so I will charge about £3.50 because if the magazine only comes out once a month it can't be too cheap otherwise it wouldn't be making much profit. Although, if it was too expensive it wouldn't make much profit either because customers would not be willing to pay the price.
My audience will be for females aged from 15-24 year olds. I was going to target it at 13 year old males and females but 'Xplicit' does not sound like a magazine that parents would want their children to buy. Also this magazine should be for people who can afford a disposable income.

The audience profile is for people who like to read all the latest news about music, and their dislikes would be boring information like politics etc that the older audiences (35+) might enjoy reading.
The name 'Xplicit' associates with X-rated words. 'XXL' is a similar magazine to mine because the names are similar; but XXL mainly focuses on hip hop music but my magazine is focused on R'n'B so my magazine will have a bit more of a girly twist to it as XXL focuses more on boys/men because most of their front covers have images of men on the front.

The fonts I will be using will be a sharp, stylish, curved font that is in tone to the magazine name. I will use a medium shot of one or two people. For my double page spread, I will have a question and answer theme. It will be an interview, so I will be making and answering all of the questions about the artist.
For the front cover image I plan to have medium shot of one person. I want this image to be very eye-catching so that it will draw the readers attention. The inducements that I plan to have on the front page will be special prizes to be won/special offers or maybe vouchers. This will also help to attract the readers because it would encourage them to buy the magazine as they might have the chance to win some special offers.
My USP will be bright positive colours throughout the magazine.  I hope to have a very bright magazine that will have an enthusiastic look to it. I hope that the bright colours will attract readers as it stand out from many of the other magazines.
