Revision of Pitch

The magazine will be a bimonthly magazine with 6 subtopics covered on each front page, so each subtopic is on the front page once a year. After more planning and thinking about the brief, it will be very hard to report on and take footage for 6 topics. The magazine will therefore be designed as if it were to go on and report on more topics in the coming months, but not for the first 2 editions.

I have decided to stick with the magazine being similar to The Big Issue and reporting on a broad range of topics and not just focus on one area of current affairs to aim to appeal to a wider audience and suit everyone. Reporting on a wide range of topics means the audience can find what they want to read about, but also read about other topics they wouldn't usually be interested in to educate them on the wider world, which fits in with Dennis Publishing's remit 'inspire, inform and entertain'.

I have chosen the name 'Vista' for my magazine, which is another word for 'view'. The magazine will report on different areas of current affairs and let the audience have their own views on the topics. It is a short and unique word which sums up the brand quickly in 2 syllables, as it reports on issues from different points of view and lets the audience have their own view.

The magazine will still aim to widen the 16-25 middle to upmarket audience's views and understanding on the world by reporting on a range of ages, ethnicities, genders and classes. 

After understanding the brief more now, I can't have reports on celebrities as it is impossible to take footage of them and ask for permission. I need to use footage of friends and people I personally know, and also need realistic locations and topics to report on so I can get the footage.
