The document discusses existing magazine products and provides research analysis. It analyzes two magazines that both use bright colors to draw readers in and include minimal text in simple fonts. They feature the magazine name as the largest text along with the title and issue number. Barcodes are placed discreetly. The research will inform the author's own work by using a bright single color or contrasting colors, one main text piece over an image, and a single large cover image with optional background.
The document also profiles the intended audience for the magazine. It will target adults aged 18+ with content about clothing and adult themes. Both genders will be featured with items for each. The magazine aims to appeal to "achievers"

5. Research Analysis
• What common features do the researched products
have? They both and use bright colours in to draw people in to it. Also, they use very little text on
them as well as using a very simple font. The text they do have are the same, they have the name of the
magazine as the biggest and main one. They also have the title of that week/ months magazine and the
series or issue number on it. The barcodes on both are put out of the way and not mage to fit the look and
designs of the cover.
• What aspects of the research will you include within
your on work? The idea of using one very bright colour or make a few colours contrast
against each other work well to draw people in and making the people actually read the title of the
magazine. Also, I would use just one main piece of text across the picture. This is because you can read it
easier and people have more change of seeing it. The magazines only have one image that will cover up
the whole page with a background on them if needed too much look all as one.
7. Audience Profile
Category Demographic Content to appeal to this audience
Age Range
The age range would be
aimed to people aged
between 18+ as the
primary.
• The content would be about adult such as the
clothing or adult themes and ideas.
Gender
The. Gender would be
both as it will have info
about each.
• The items shown in the magazine would be for
just one gender
Psychographic
The magazine would be
aimed to the ‘achiever’
as the primary due to it
being higher end and
showing more exclusive
product and or events.
• The content in the magazine would show off
expensive items that can that anyone can have a
interest in but only the ‘achiever’ can be involved
in.
Social Status
It would be a higher end
magazine with items
that would cost a lot so
it would be towards
wealthy people.
• The content would show things and events that
are exclusive so would have a higher price on
them. Also the newest trends are set and carried
out by higher class people.
