Decisions about music magazine

Task 11

The type of music magazine that i am going to produce is indie.
The target audience for this magazine will be both genders and ageing between 10-30.
Price: £2.70

I have chosen this price as it is within the two price ranges from the other two popular magazines.

Frequency of publication: monthly
I believe that this is the right way to publish a music magazine as you can find out the gossip and band reviews throughout the whole month.

Average issue size: 50 pages
50 pages is the average amount of pages for a music magazine, this will allow readers not to get bored as it doesnt consist of to many pages with too much information filled out on them.
