My 2nd Idea:
 Light, pastel girly colours make the magazine look
very girly and cute
 Bows, flowers, hearts and bubbles will be the
main shapes used at puffs
 ‘Life of Pop’ connotes that pop music is life for
young girls
 Target Audience= 13-16 aged girls

 Hartley:
 Age- average around 12+
 Gender- female
 Nationality- doesn’t matter
 Social class- middle class as upper class may go for
more classy magazines which have less
abbreviations and lower class providing they have
the money.

 Demographics:
 The audience will be most likely in group E because they will be
too young even top get a Saturday job yet as they're still in school.
 Psychographics:
 Aspirers because young girls are interested in who’s most interested
in who’s most popular and who isn’t, image appearance and fashion.
This is why I will focus more no colour and puffs to make my
magazine appeal more to the target audience.
 Spending power- how much you have left to spend.
 Pocket money
 Price must be cheap
 £1.50  more popular  more content £1.99

• Katz:
 inform and educate or personal relations ship. Inform
and educate as the reader may learn something new
about pop star or band that they didn’t before by
reading the magazine. Personal relationship because by
reading the magazine, you can build an admiration for
a certain star or band.
• Maslow:
 social climber or care giver- Social climbers because
girls will feel that if they know more about certain
stars or bands they are more privileged than others
who may not know as much. Care givers because girls
may feel engaged with and/or sympathetic towards a
star or band.

 Process:
• Decide date of publication,
 Once the date for the release of my magazine has been chosen I will
then be working with a schedule which is in the slide after this.
• Manage a schedule,
 This is where my schedule will be managed and decided which is what
everyone will have to work against.
• Decide the over all budget,
 The editorial team will choose what topics that will be included in the
magazine, then look at how much money we have and decide a final
budget for the production of whole magazine.
• Decide content that will be included,
 At this stage journalists and reporters do a lot of research about the
topics and content that will be included in the magazine, interviews
will be arranged and artwork/ graphics are also worked on at this
stage.
• Edit the magazine
 We edit the magazine to make sure all facts are correct, checking
spelling and grammar and the house-style is carried out.

he-magazine-
production-process/

• Decide the layout of all the pages,
 The editorial team then choose the layout of each page in
the magazine and which order they should all go in. To do
this, the main programme that is used is InDesign. Adverts
are also placed in the magazine at this point.
• Proofreading,
 Once a hardcopy of the magazine has been printed, editors
will look through it and find and correct any mistakes.
• Send file of the magazine to the printer,
 Once proofread, the DTP file of the fully finished magazine
will be sent to the printer. If the editors approve he
printing, the printer will then start mass printing.
• Distribution.
 The magazines are neatly packed and sent to a warehouse
where the magazines are distributed and then sold to the
public.

 Consumer wants and needs (vs. Products)
 You have to target the customers that would actually want to buy the product e.g. target young female
teens instead of a male in his twenties.
 Cost to satisfy (vs. Price)
 Will the reader of my magazine want to go out and pay for transport (e.g. getting the bus or getting their
parents to drive them and then pay for parking) to buy my magazine, especially if my magazine is
expensive. They will also have to want to do that every month.
 Convenience to buy (vs. Place)
 Young teenagers would most likely want to buy a magazine in their local corner store or supermarket
instead of ordering online or ordering over the phone as they wont have any debit or smart cards yet
either.
 Communication (vs. Promotion)
 Using communication to approach audience rather than promoting which can come across as patronising
or intimidating. When customers try to get in contact, try to be approachable, friendly and helpful and try
to include the customers when advertising,. For example use mobile number to send out text updates for
new subscriptions or issues.
