Title: STROKES (Dock11)

Positioning Statement: Eat, Sleep, Rock and repeat

Frequency of Publication: Monthly

Price: £2.30

Distribution: Music shops, websites, supermarket, subscription, digital (eg. news stand on the iPhone) and News agents.

Rationale: This is going to contain current news updates through the indie music industry and will include current album, songs, gigs and concert reviews; at the same time giving the reader a chance to win prizes or freebies with the magazine. This is going to be an original magazine to fill the indie rock market where it is going to compete with other music magazine such as Q magazine, Kerrang magazine and Nme Magazine.

Style: The style will consist of recurring colour scheme throughout the magazine and will include simple basic language to be clearly understood by my age range, this is so that the information that I put are easily understood. I will layout the page in columns and breakdown the articles with paragraphs and drop capitals. This makes it more inviting to read and makes it late daunting.
