Week 6 - Treatment sheet and primary audience research
PRINT TREATMENT SHEET
This document should present your ideas for your music magazine publication and showcase the features, colour scheme, house style, images and target audience for your product. You should also discuss which publishing house you would hope to publish you magazine and state why this house is suitable.
These are the subheadings for the contents page of your treatment sheet:
- Design (Detail how your front page will look. Discuss the choice of masthead and what genre of music your publication will promote.)
- House style (Discuss the choice house style of your publication. House style is 'the specific usage and editing conventions followed by writers and editors to ensure stylistic consistency in a particular publication or series of publications'. This includes font, colours, design of contents and page layout.)
- Target audience (who would be the target audience for your product? Give a detailed example of who your target market would be.)
- Cover information (how much will your publication cost? Will it be monthly/weekly/bi monthly. How much revenue would you expect to make?)
- Publishing house (which publishing house would print your magazine and why? Look back at your previous institution research.)
The pitch/treatment sheet should explain all of your ideas in detail. It should be professionally presented.
