Title: STROKES (Dock11)

Positioning Statement: Indie rocking your socks off

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 throughout the indie music industry and will include current albums, 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, Kerrang and NME Magazine.

Style: The style will include simple basic language to be clearly understood by my age range. This is so that the information that I put is 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.
