The document summarizes research on existing magazine products and the target audience for a new magazine. It was found that successful magazine covers featured a single prominent celebrity photo with descriptive text. The proposed magazine will target 16-19 year old students and include sections on celebrities, fashion, films and music. Elements like large celebrity images, descriptive text in colored blocks, and an appealing layout will be incorporated based on the research.

2. Existing Product
I want my magazine to
include celebrities and
music.
I love how Katy has
been put first before
the billboard title the
shadow around her
makes her stand out.
I like how the front
cover isn't crowded
with pictures or text.
The use of lighting on
the background colour
looks really nice darker
at the bottom and one
side and lighter in the
top right corner.
This makes the
audience want to buy it
and read it because it
has a celebrity on the
front who is known
which people will know
of her and will want to
read about her the
magazine seems easy to
read as it hasn't got a
lot of text crammed in
on the front cover

3. Existing Product
I Also want my magazine to include celebrity fashion,
what do they like to wear and how they have there
hair and things like that.
This magazine caught my eye, I really like how there
is just one big picture of a celebrity on the front with
big text around her in different colours it really does
make the audience want to buy this magazine.
The white background makes the words pop out of
the page so viewers can read it easy and it will catch
there eye
The font that has been used is very easy to read and
not to much fancy going on it suttle and a good size
has been used

4. Existing Product
I would also like my magazine
to have a section on films
only a little bit like what
movies is this celebrity in and
then maybe a list with the
films and how many views its
had and things like that.
This will be similar to my
layout of the front cover with
how the text is in little blocks
and not chucked all over the
place covering the image.
