The document discusses research conducted to determine what would attract younger audiences to buy a music magazine. Interviews with a younger cousin and friends found that posters of popular artists like Justin Bieber would encourage purchases. As a result, the magazine includes a contest to win tickets to a One Direction concert to entice readers. The main cover feature will profile a star who achieved her dreams to further interest girls. Lures like photos of artists on the front cover are important for drawing in audiences and getting them to buy the magazine. The magazine represents its target audience of teenage pop music fans by including stories and photos related to their interests.
2. I wanted to talk directly to the audience, I researched and
asked my friends and my younger family members what would
attract you to buy a music magazine.
My younger cousin Abby, whom Is a massive fan of Justin
bieber said she would buy a magazine, if they contain posters,
front cover of Justin bieber or Jls.
And that is why I added a lure to win One direction tickets.
3. A Part of My Questionnaire
This first part of my questionnaire helped
me quite a lot, because I can see that most
girls want to see there favourite artists and
Most of them like Justin Bieber and they
are lured by the posters.
For my main cover, I wanted to put one
star on the front cover and I want to put
her on the front cover because it will
interest a lot of girls to be like her because
her story is that she won the factor and
achieved her dream.
4. Lure is the most important convention to use in a
magazine.
It mainly attracts the audience towards the
magazine, and they would want to buy it.
To the left are a few examples of magazines I have
bought.
One picture is Rihanna and that is the huge
important Lure in a magazine, they are attracted to
the front cover because want to see who Rihanna is
crazy in love with.
The other picture is Taylor swift and you can notice
on the side, there are pugs (Nicole scherzinger) and
lures in the left side.
5. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My music magazine represents my target audience, the magazine shows the
audience are into pop music, for example like Rihanna and Jessie j, it links with
there interests, for example, some girls are interested in Justin bieber and
they want to know more about Justin bieber, so they would head straight to a
magazine.
I wanted to show a classy, fancy and elegant theme for the target audience/
social group. So that’s why I added a nice soft purple colour to an elegant font.
I know I have shown my target audience in a good way through my font and
the layout of my magazine.
The image throughout my magazine shows a pop star, with pop star poses like
some ideas I have researched.
The image is aimed at an older teenager, because they will find the image
classy and very popular.
I asked the model to wear light coloured clothes to help with different affects I
can use for my products.
6. I have represented my social group, as being younger teenagers
or older teenagers, for them to enjoy reading the magazine and
not expect any bad language or anything else on the matter.
An other thing I have done is kept it silent on the front cover and
the contents page, so the reader will buy the magazine and will
start to read the pages. I didn’t want to get straight to the
information already on the products.
