The document presents research from a focus group for a new music magazine. It includes questions about essential elements of music magazines, genres of music, cover designs, names, and color schemes. Participants provided feedback on including photos on the cover, interviews, competitions, and gossip columns. They also shared what genres of music they listen to and their opinions on mixing pop and indie music. The presenter thanked participants and invited any additional questions or feedback.

Music Magazine

2. In This Presentation...
• I shall present some of my research I have collected, plus possible
answers to the questionnaire, which I have provided
• I will also give the you a chance to ask any questions you may have
about my magazine or any additional improvements and/or advice
which you can provide me.

3. Some Research Collected
One of the main things which seemed to vary between
the magazines is how many photos were featured on the
front cover. I think to make my magazine more appealing
it may be a good idea to include more than just the main
photo. However, I do understand why sometimes the
magazines decide that they don’t need any other photos
as the main singer is famous enough to attract people.
Looking at other music magazines available I have noticed
that the genre I have chosen hasn’t got any specific
competitors as there aren’t any with the same genre, they
all seem to be aimed at; rock, indie, pop or RnB.
My competitors for my magazine would probably be
either indie or pop as my magazine is a mixture of the
two.
Looking at other music magazines I saw that all of them
include interviews so I think that is something that I must
include. I also saw in a few there are competitions advertised
on the front to attract customers so I think that’s another
thing to consider. I think in my magazine I will want to include
a few gossip columns as this is also a great way to attract
customers. Another thing I noticed was a few of the
magazines have an ‘editor’s comment’ on the contents
page, which I think would be a must in my magazine.
