Evaluation Q.5

How did you attract/ address your audience?

The way in which I did attract/address my audience was look at other professional magazines which we’re R&B magazines; however I also incorporated feedback I received from my audience research.

This is one example of a professional magazine I looked at. It is from the magazine XXL; things I looked were the use of the photography, language techniques and layout design.

The artists are in focus and are looking directly at the camera, so I took this idea and used it for my own front cover. Also in terms of language techniques, there aren’t much sell lines with long descriptions as it allows us to focus on the main image itself so I decided to illustrate this idea with my front cover.

 Besides from looking at other professional magazines for ideas and inspiration, I went back to my audience research to gain some ideas.  Most  of responses were from younger demographic of 16-25 so I had to make sure that the type of language could be relatable to them and they would find the articles and sell lines intriguing. In terms of colours, responses varied, some wanted dark colours whereas some thought a bright colour would look best so I tried my best to illustrate this within my media products. Costumes was something I did take into consideration and most of my responses showed that edgy, street clothing is what helped to represent R&B so I made my made my models wear these.

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

 A) What magazine publishing house might own your computer? IPC, EMAP, CONDE NAST?

The company I would want to publish my magazine is called Townsquare Media. Although they are an American firm, they have been highly successful with r&b/hip hop magazines such as XXL; monthly sales are about 300,000 per month both distributed online and physical copies.

B) Where might your magazine be distributed?

 For my own music magazine I would want mine to be distributed online mostly as my target audience are young & they mostly use their devices compared to actually buying the physical copy. However I will be selling them in music stores & book stores so that I can cater for the percentage who like to read from paper.

C) How frequently will be the magazine be circulated? Will it be available through subscription?

 I decided to make my magazine monthly as that allows me to talk about content much more easily & broaden it more, also each month will give me the opportunity to talk about different topics. My magazine will be sold for £2.99.
