I could either produce my own fictional magazine based on my own original ideas or inspired ideas. However, I could pretend to produce a magazine for existing publishers with something in common with mine e.g. NME, Q, and Rolling stone.

The magazine I am going to create isn’t going to really express any morals, but rather be an information and entertainment magazine. On the other hand, as it will include a mixture of genres of alternative music, its values may be for people to be more open and educated about music.

The target audience will be anyone interested in the types of music, of both genders and generally people from early teens to the middle aged area.

I intend the subject matters of the magazine and its fans to be represented positively. It will express the opinions and interests of music fans and artists.
