Rationale: This magazine will be based around the music industry’s perspective. With articles based around the new stories and also looking back on the history different industries and artists. My magazine will be heavily based on the semantic field of music, and not going off track to gossip which I believe will be irrelevant to the fans.
Style: I want my magazine to come across relaxed and not too forced to the audience, I will achieve this by aiming to use jokey terms and interviews which include some banterous questions. Some content will be factual, just approached in a more informal way.
