Ideas

I have decided to do a magazine aimed at festival goers, however unlike Q magazine I want to aim my magazine at teenagers rather than an older audience. So to do this I am going to research more into music magazines aimed at teenagers then combine this research with the research into Q magazine. Also I intend to do research into V festival.

Research into a magazine company- Q Magazine

• Q magazine was founded by Mark Ellen and David Hepworth they thought there was a gap in the market for older music buyers.
• It was first published in 1986.
• Monthly production and higher standards of printing and photography.
• Originally was going to be called cue but they felt it would be mistaken for a snooker magazine.
• Also a single letter tittle would stand out more on new-stands.
• It has an extensive review section, new releases, film and live concert reviews.
• Every issue has a different message on the spine.
