14. Because in 1994, the company bought a small magazine called For Him Magazine and is now the core of the best-selling international multi-platform brand FHM. This suggest that a small magazine such as “Pulse” could imitate this and start as a small magazine and build up to be worldwide.
15. The Bauer Publishing Group is a worldwide media empire offering over 230 magazines in 15 countries, as well as online, TV and radio stations. Therefore, “Pulse” could be advertised by the use of synergy in Bauer’s various products which would make it more known .
16. Bauer would allow retail stores such as WHSmith, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Local supermarket stores would distribute the magazine. WHY? Because these stores are stores which the working class teenagers are most likely to visit .
17. The audience of my magazine Working class, female teenagers (14-18) of mixed or black ethnicity Age is made known by the cover lines, mode of address and language. “The UK Funky House Festival” targets the working class who attend these festivals during their summer or winter breaks. How do I know?.... How do I attract/address my audience? Class is made known by the pricing. “£1.99” is appropriate for working class. Ethnicity is made known by the use of images (of black/mixed ethnicity) which address readers of that race. Gender is made known by the use of colours (pink) which connotes femininity which draws in the female readers.
18. The audience of my magazine In order to receive feedback of my magazine “PULSE”, I had to send out questionnaires to a range of people. Questionnaire Questions Do you think the colours work well together? Does it look like a music magazine cover? What genre of music do you think the magazine represents? What draws you in the most on the front cover? What age range do you think the magazine is targeted at? What do you like most about the product? What do you like least? What do you think could be improved or added? 50% of those asked thought that an editorial could be added to the contents page. All of the people asked “what age range do you think the magazine is targeted at? Answered with teenagers. However, the age range varied from 13-20. 70% most liked the headphones in the background of the contents page and described it as being very appealing.

20. Blogger. I have signed up to blogger and have learnt how to make drafts and posts and also insert images. I have learnt that it is a good way of recording stages of your work.
21. QuarkXPress is not suitable for me. I personally don’t find it user friendly and find it harder to use than Adobe Photoshop.
22. Printing A3. I found the A3 printer difficult to work with as it was confusing to adjust the size and shape of the magazine so that it printed out the correct size , so I could see what it would look like on paper.
