Proposal and Questionnaire

Proposal
I will be creating a music magazine based on the genre of Arabic music. My magazine will be for females aged between 16 to 21 that live in the UK. These potential customers are interested in Arabic music as well as other types of music such as R and B. These females have a mature attitude but also have a side that is clinging onto their teenage years. They are taking their life seriously in terms of their work and education but are still enjoying their teenage years by just hanging with their friends. My potential customers are not only those who understand Arabic music but also those may not understand it but enjoy the sound of it. They are young females that like to feel good through the way they look, their friends and through the music they listen to. These females are not typical teenagers that are interested in finding boyfriends but just enjoy spending time with their friends whether that’s through shopping or going to a restaurant. They like to be presentable through the clothes they wear and pay special attention to their clothes. These females have phones with the latest music technology and not only like to be up to date with the latest music but also do not want to forget about classic tunes.


Currently in the UK there is no music magazine based on Arabic music and over the years Arabic music has become extremely popular through the younger generation as in teenagers. This is because the Arabic culture over the years has been having a great influence into the lives of the British teenage culture which started through the trend of shisha bars and belly dancing. There is a great interest in Arabic music and not just through people who understand Arabic but also through people who do not understand it.
