2. The Brief
I have been commissioned by the Northern
Echo to produce a new magazine. My
product is from the genre of TV/Film and
aimed at the 16 -25 age range.
I really looked at my audience
when deciding on the style of
my magazine, I tried to keep it
in the genre but give it a lively
twist.
3. The Market
I feel like I have met the brief I have made a magazine
that I think will do really well and fits into a gap in
the current market .
I have been unable to find a magazine that talks about,
TV programs, movies and YouTubers, in detail. This
is the gap I'm to fill.
4. Primary audience
Age: 16 - 20
Socioeconomics: B C1
Tribe: Urban, Get Paid Crew, Blingers.
Gender: Males 60 %, Females 40 %.
Educational Status: College
5. Genre Research
From looking at the genre I find that the
colours and the style really match what the
page is looking at. The language and
models used are mostly famous or in the
public eye.
The images I have used are
examples of my own
photography.
6. Text
These are the texts that I am planning on using, the
first one is the front cover title, and the other is for
my headers.
7. Imagery
I’m going to make my imagery very interesting
and eye catching.
I’m also going to make a lot
of the imagery myself from
my own original images.
8. Text To Image Ratio
The text to image ratio will be high, in
favour of images.
This is because images are more eye-
catching and will draw the audience into
buying the magazine.
9. Language
I'm going to make the language very
young and hip. Using a lot of
colloquial language to try and relate
with my audience.
All the sentences will be short. This
will keep the readers engaged and
will make all the paragraphs simple
to read.
10. Narrative voice
The narrative voice will be changing all the way through the
magazine from 1st , 2nd to 3rd.
The reason I'm using al the
narrative voices is because I'm
planning to have interviews which
normally consist of a conversation
11. Mock Ups
Double page spread 1 –
I tried to keep this one
clear and colourful.
Double page spread 2-
This one was more
manly and dark.
12. Good Things About My Mock Ups

from my focus group, here are some of the things that
they liked;
13. Creative Criticisms For My Mock Ups
After my focus group I had a lot of things that needed
to be changed, here are some of the comments;
15. Double page spreads
Each double page spread will have different
content but we are going to try to keep the
amount of columns the same.
There will be 4 columns on each
page to keep the pages well
organised and full.
16. Comparison with other magazines of this genre
As you can see this image is very bright
and colourful.
The text to image ratio is quite low.
It is aimed at a huge variation in age
range
The imagery is very well done, and it is
very eye catching.
18. Profit.
My expenditure is £11,983.46
From my advertising I will gain £6,208.50
From sales I will gain £7,500
Making the total income £13,708.50
This makes my overall income £1,725.04.
I had to sell my product to make it commercially
viable.
