Original Ideas Statement

The magazine I am going to be making is a rock/punk magazine. My intended target audience will be female teenagers between the ages of 14-18 years old, who are interested in this type of music. The reason I have chosen this type of magazine is because I am fan of this type of music, so I feel I have more experience with this genre of music then I do with others. Also many of the people I spend my time with are interested in this type of music so I think I have more of understanding of the types of things they like and the types of personalities they have which links to the type of music they listen to and I believe this will make it easier for me to create the magazine. The magazines which represent this particular genre of music are very distinctive compared to other magazines on the market. I thought that this might help me to make my magazine more distinctive and help me to attract my intended target audience more sufficiently. Another reason I have chosen to do a rock magazine is because it is easy to distinguish between rock magazines and pop magazines as rock magazines tend to come across as stereotypical to their target audience so it easier to see exactly what group within society they are trying to attract. Whereas pop magazines do not make it as clear as to who their specific target audience is.
