The
research I have carried out will be useful in my planning stage. The analysis
of existing music magazines will be helpful in understanding the concepts of a
magazine, and any ideas that will influence my design.
For
example, with this type of magazine, I like how the cover photo is normally a
singular close up shot of the featured artist, with pugs and stories around it.
I like how simplistic the cover is, so it’s not in your face, giving a classy
and tasteful impression. Whilst the colours are bright and noticeable they are
not too distracting. These examples of music magazines therefore help me to
generate ideas of what style my magazine will be.
The analysis of my target market has shown me the most
popular market among magazines, and those who are most likely to interact
with and purchase magazines. The age range will also be suitable for the
locations that the magazine is sold in and the stories and artists featured on
it. Extensively, my analysis of existing publishers showed me the massive scale
on which magazines can be published and interacted with, 50% of all US Males
interact with a Time magazine each month. This shows that my magazine needs to
have an attractive design and interesting stories, as well as the availability
to be accessed or read online, as with the ever increasing use of Web 2.0. This
not only shows the massive audience my magazine may be able to reach, but the
risk of the market being so large that the magazine fails to be a success.
You discuss here how competitive the market is, could you make a comment on how you intend to stand out in your chosen genre in order to rival the already successful.
