    Sharp

    Positioning statement: Getting under your skin


    Frequency of publication: Monthly
    Price: 3.25
    Distribution: Newsagents, supermarkets, music shops
    Rationale: The main purpose of this magazine is to engage
    with those who are interested in/are a part of the indie music

    Q&A section, which will involve the readers in the content of
    the magazine, making it more relatable to them. Sharp will
    also inform readers about indie music, new and old, and what is
    going on in general within the scene this will be done through
    interviews with musicians, reviews and an update of the latest
    indie/rock/indie-rock artists.
    Style: There will be a relatively informal style so that the target
    audience (aged approximately around 15 30) with identify
    with the content. However, there will be an air of sophistication
    to the wording of articles, while simultaneously including
    humour and a youthful vibe (this will be done through the
    language used, i.e. modern terms/phrases/references) this will
    also be reflected in the physical appearance of the magazine.
