FIRST DRAFT

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK

Statements I have taken into consideration are-

Add more information to the barcode- change its placement to the bottom right hand barcode, and add more information to it such as i.e Date,Issue,Price and also maybe the Web Address if needed.

Make my Masthead have more of an impact, it is Grey, I need something that stands out more against the background of my magazine.

A banner behind my Skyline would help, as the features are quite small and look 'lost' against the background of my Front Cover.

Less detail in the Sub-Heading of the Coverline, as 'less is more'. The Main Coverline also needs more impact- this would be very important for my magazine Front Cover.

The 'Splash' I should create to be more effective and not as basic.

My thumbnail picture is not rightfully owned by me- I will get rid of it and use my own images.

I am also going to consider removing the 'house/bedroom' background, as it is interfearing with my house style I have created. However I am also considering changing the main image and house style overall as a decision of my own.

INTIAL IDEAS FOR THE MUSIC MAGAZINE PRODUCTS

Initial Ideas on Prezi

PRICING OF MY MUSIC MAGAZINE

PRICING OF MY MUSIC MAGAZINE.

Existing Magazine Pricing-

NME- £2.20
The Rolling Stone- £2.99
Kerrang!- £2.80
Q (Magazine)- £2.99

The average music magazine sold in the UK is around £3.00, maybe £4.00. This could also relate to packaging and how much content the magazine has (page wise and printing) to add expense. However, I am going to make my magazine a fair price of £1.25-£2.00 as that is fairly reasonable and affordable to most teenagers/younger generation-unemployed or not, and cheaper than most music magazines (or even magazines in general) sold to the public. This may also increase consumers as you may lose consumers advertising an expensive pricing, so even if they are interested in the magazine it may put them off buying it, but as I have made mine a reasonable price it may interest the consumer to buy my magazine. As the SEG Category is likely to be a D/E for my Target Audience (Younger Generation) it is better off being more cheaper than expensive, as then it can be too unaffordable, therefore resulting in less people interested in buying the magazine.

TARGET AUDIENCE

TARGET AUDIENCE

Pop music stereotypically attracts to the 'younger generation'. This means that my magazine will likely be aimed at teenagers as the majority, maybe into people into their 20's, but the audience will likely decrease as it gets to middle-age generations such as an audience in their 30's/40's age criteria. The SEG level my audience will probably be is D/E (as it attracts youth who will are more unskilled and majority are unemployed-due to their age) but also into the C standard. As there is an 'indie' genre also featured in my magazine this may also interest other readers who are into indie, soft rock and such other similar genres. This may increase consumers as it is attracting more than one music genre in the magazine. Stereotypically this may interest people who live in urban areas, as indie is a popular genre among people who live an urban, 'unique' culture, stereotypically known as 'indies', but obviously this music can be enjoyable to anyone, the example is just a high representation of 'indie' culture. Overall the music genre would likely attract both male and female sexes, and age majority would likely be teenagers as the genre seems to aim at the younger generation.
