2. Bauer
This is the company’s main website,
it looks appealing and very
attractive and makes the audience
know that they are confident and
are hardworking by stating that they
are ‘#1 seller of magazines at retail
in the country’. The mixture of
colours on the first page represent
the variety of magazines they are
working with and that they publish.
They seem proud that they are
involved with lots of different
magazines and projects by making
statements like ‘we think popular’
as if they are inviting the audience
to confine in them. On the bottom
right hand page the websites have
links which straight away is telling
the audience how to contact them
and how to get involved with their
work and what they do.
3. Which magazines do Bauer publish?
Bauer's publishes all different
types of magazines, they
publish: music, fashion, women,
fitness, car, gossip, sport
magazines. They also publish
through radio, phones and
television. This could be helpful
for my work as they work with a
huge variety of different genres
that entertain and inform
different ages. However, they
only work with 3 music
magazines which won’t give me
many samples to look at and to
inspire from.
4. Future PLC
This is the main website for Future
publishing, again here it is
outlined that they are the ‘Digital
publisher of the year’ just like
Bauer did. This makes the
audience more interested as the
company seems confident and
proud that they are been selected
in to this particular catergory
There are also different company's
that they have decided to
advertise to show that they have
chosen Future as the Digital
Publisher of the year. For example
The British Media Awards. Below
this statement there is a subheading titled ‘Welcome to Future
plc’ and there is an introduction to
who they are and what they do
and are involved in. This again
defines that they are confident
and that they are inviting other
big company’s to work and
participate with them.
6. What do Future Publish?
Future publish a wide range of magazines which would
help me because they have a huge range of different
examples and sample, and wide range of audiences.
This could be helpful because I could gain ideas from
them, and use their ideas to mix and link things with
each other. The fact that they publish so many
magazine also means that they have huge audiences
and lots of readers that buy the magazines they
publish.
7. My chosen publisher
I pick Bauer because they have magazines
such a Kerrang and know how to advertise
and appeal to the audience with rock
music. However they don’t publish a music
magazine that specifically tailors to female
music readers. I want to fill in a niche with
the company to appeal the female readers
that are neglected by other magazines.
