The document summarizes the results of market research conducted to help design a new dubstep music magazine. Key findings include that the target audience is 16-19 year old males interested in artists like Trolley Snatcha and Skism. Based on the research, the magazine will have a youthful design with bright colors and large images on the cover. It will cost £2.30 and include competitions for mobile devices. Interior articles will profile artists' new music and personal lives, based on reader interest.
The survey results show preferences among 40 respondents for music, dubstep, and magazines:
- The majority listen to dubstep (38), get music online (28), and their favorite producer is Trolley Statcha (22).
- Over half have been to a music festival like UTR or Outlook Festival and seen their favorite artist live.
- Most prefer magazines with minimal front page text (33) and would pay £2 or less (25) for a dubstep magazine.
The document contains survey results from a magazine creator presented in various charts and graphs. It shows:
1) The majority of survey respondents were male, aged 17-18, and got their music from online downloads rather than stores.
2) Most listened to dubstep, attended music festivals, and favored Trolley Snatcha as their favorite producer.
3) Respondents wanted the magazine to have minimal text on the colorful front cover, be priced at £2-3, and be published monthly.
DJ Magazine has used a yellow banner over the headline to draw attention while still allowing the headline to be visible. The article is about a DJ named Lemon Scent who specializes in house music, known for being quirky. The large image takes up the right page and shows Lemon Scent holding a lemon in front of his face, portraying his sense of humor. Columns are used to break up the text into an easier to read format for younger audiences.
Drummer magazine uses a simple color scheme of red, black, and white on its contents page. Images and text are mixed together but text is placed on the left side so it does not take attention away from the images. Both large and small images are included, with the largest image drawing attention to the most important article. The magazine also includes its masthead and logo prominently to identify it. While some summaries are included with images on other magazines' contents pages, Drummer provides summaries in a separate "Features" section instead.
The document analyzes the front cover of Mixmag magazine. It notes that the magazine uses a playful lowercase font for its masthead to reflect its fun, club-going readership. The top sell line promotes that it is the world's biggest dance music magazine. The headline indicates the main genre featured - Dubstep 2010. It asks a question to engage readers about the sound that conquered the world. The colors and images are meant to attract readers and signal the serious tone about Dubstep artists seen as conquerors.
1) DJ Magazine has a distinctive red masthead with thick black outline to stand out. Below is the sell line "Living & Breathing Dance Music".
2) The cover features Chase & Status looking down at the camera to appear in control. The headline "Chase & Status: Stir it up" promises controversy.
3) DJ Magazine includes bonuses like a free CD to attract readers interested in the featured artist, while the "PLUS" section promises extra content.
The front cover of VIBE magazine aims to appeal to a primarily male, urban audience aged 16-26. It uses informal language, images of respected rappers like T.I., and mentions of iconic artists like Jay-Z and Tupac to draw in readers interested in hip-hop and rap music. The serious expression on T.I.'s face and his hand gesture implying anticipation of money present him as an intimidating yet respected figure. The simple color scheme and radial gradient help portray a sophisticated, calm and cool tone to match T.I.'s serious hip-hop persona.
The double page spread from XLR8R Magazine features an article about the rising dubstep producer Skream. A large mid-shot image of Skream and another artist takes up the left page, drawing the reader's attention. Light colors and gradients are used throughout to create a futuristic yet calm atmosphere, reflecting the style of dubstep music. Columns are used for the article text to make it easier to read. Subheadings instead of pull quotes maintain the magazine-style layout while keeping the design simple and sophisticated.
Mixmag's contents page mixes images and text to summarize articles for its young audience who may not want to read large blocks of text. The page uses large images related to artists alongside brief summaries of articles and page numbers to quickly convey essential information. It employs a simple black, white, and yellow color scheme and organizes content into categories like "Tech" to allow readers to easily find topics that interest them. The largest image of Daft Punk indicates their article is the most important feature.
NME's contents page uses a casual, playful tone with images instead of just text to appeal to their young readership. Key points include mixing sized images and fonts to look like an artsy collage. Articles are summarized briefly alongside images to entice readers without long blocks of text. A 'Plus' section covers less important articles more concisely. The simple black-and-white color scheme focuses attention on the colorful images. In total, the non-traditional layout still highlights important information while maintaining an engaging style befitting NME's target audience.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

2. Genre: I decided to make a music based magazine and the genre of music which I decided
to base my magazine on was Dubstep. Even though I decided to choose Dubstep there
aren't really any professional Dubstep based magazine out there for me to draw inspiration
from so I decided to draw inspiration from other magazine’s with a similar genre, target
audience and overall tone like:
VIBE NME MIXMAG
3. NME Magazine Front Cover
• Masthead: All magazine will have a masthead at the top of their
page, preferably to the left hand side since we read from left to right
so it will be on of the first things we see. They are usually very
bold, very larger and brightly coloured so we can spot them straight
away and know what magazine we’re about to read into.
•Headline: Any magazine would need a headline on it’s front cover in
order for readers to see what is the most important article in the
magazine which could attract them to buy the magazine. They are
always the second largest copy on the front cover so they can be
easily spotted but not take away from the masthead’s importance.
•Sell Line: A magazine’s slogan is seen frequently on magazine’s
front cover . They are usually located right under, on top or around
the masthead in a much smaller font, this way it won’t take away
from the masthead itself since it’s not as important on a front cover.
•Puffs: Are words or phrases that are situated in a magazine front
cover to boost status.
4. VIBE Magazine Front Cover • Cover Lines: Are located in the mid to bottom region of a front
cover and can be situated on either side of the page. Copy will
always be aligned to the side that its on for example if situated
on the left it will be aligned to the left. Cover lines summarise
certain stories that are inside the magazine in an attempt to
boost the status of the magazine and entice readers to buy the
magazine
• Issue Number: Usually located near the serial bar, the issue
number shows us what issue this current magazine is.
• Date: Usually located near the serial bar, the date shows us
when this issue of the magazine was released.
• Serial Bar: A code that is used to pay for a magazine which is
usually located at the bottom right or left of a front cover. It is
usually quite small in order for it to not take up space on the
front cover or take away any importance from other elements of
a front cover
• House Style: This is a magazine’s own distinctive design that
makes it different from other magazines, for instance a
magazine’s house style, layout and colour scheme.
5. Mixmag Magazine Front Cover Strap Line: These are printed above or below the main
headline, they are used frequently to emphasise a headline
and make it seem more appealing or interesting. They always
have a smaller font or different colour to the headline in
order for it to stand out from the headline itself.
Image: The image on the front cover is usually a mid-shot
image of the music artist that is mentioned in the headline.
The image is centred on a front cover and takes up most of
the page frequently we see that the image overlaps the
masthead.
Colour Scheme: A magazine tends to use only a few amount
of colours on their front cover, for example, blue, white and
black (like the Mixmag front cover).

7. Above is the type of social group that I have aimed to represent in my magazine. Young people
who go to parties and clubs at night and are considered ‘young rebels’. Their Social Grade would
be C1C2D because most of them are still in school studying so they probably don’t have jobs and
those that do have jobs they are more likely to be working part-time so they wont take away from
their school time. They live with their parents although few of them may have moved into their
own homes so they are more likely to not have a steady income of their own. The people that
mainly produce Dubstep are Black inner city youths and also the people that are interested
in/listen to Dubstep are predominately Black inner city youths which is why I have featured alot of
black artists in my magazine in order to best represent my target social group.
8. How they are represented in my magazine
I made sure to use a young model with similar dress sense to my
target social group in order for him to come across as one of the
Target Social Group
people in the social group I am trying to represent.
My model is wearing accessories that is worn frequently by the
social group I am trying to represent like hats and piercings.
In the social group I am trying to represent people tend to throw up
hand signs in their pictures so I made sure my model used his own
signature hand sign in his pictures.
9. Since my target social group is most likely to
not have a steady income for them to be
able to buy desirable products I decided to
have a competition in my magazine giving
readers a chance to win an iPhone 4S. I knew
that iPhone’s carry a certain status to
possessing them and that an iPhone allows a
person to do an array of things like surf the
Competition in my magazine
net, sign into twitter and Facebook etc which
are in high demand within my target
audience.
When I asked my target audience what other
artists they liked the top three artists were
Trolley Snatcha, Skism and Nero so I
featured them in my magazine since they
are the most liked by my target social group.
Other artists I featured in my
magazine
10. I would choose Bauer to publish my magazine
because I’m trying to break into the market with
a new genre of music and I’d need a publisher
that could give my magazine the hype it
deserves
Bauer would be able to do that best because it’s
such a huge international company, it has a
readership of over 19 million people in the UK
alone and not only does it have links inside of the
magazine industry but is also well established in
the TV and Radio industry.
With all these links it would allow the magazine
to gain a higher status and reputation than if it
was to be published by IPC simply due to the fact
that Bauer has a wider audience worldwide over
many different types of media platforms.
11. I would distribute my magazine online as
well as in supermarkets and newsagents
due to the fact that a lot of younger
people surf the internet on a daily basis to
go onto social networking sites and other
websites. If I distributed my magazine
online and linked the magazine’s website
to the Dubhead Facebook page then it
would increase the amount of places
where people can buy the magazine from
which would help boost magazine sales.
12. I have created a DUBHEAD Facebook
like page so that readers and fans of the
magazine can keep up to date with the
magazine on a social network that is
frequently used by my target audience.
I also created a Twitter because it’s
another social network that is very
popular within my target audience. The
DUBHEAD twitter would be used to
update followers about Dubstep artists
and Local Raves/Parties because I know
that my target audience are the type of
people to go out raving and clubbing so
this will appeal to them.
13. The age group of my audience would be
16-21 who are interested in gaming,
technology, going out clubbing/partying,
drinking, driving and looking good.
My audience would be interested in
brands aimed at younger people like
Levi’s, Topman, Supreme and Converse
My audience would be predominately
male and classed in the C1C2D social
grade due to the fact that most of my
audience would still be studying or only
have a part time job.
14. With the age of my audience being so young I decided to use
informal language on my magazine front cover in order for them to
relate with the magazine and see it as though they are having a
casual conversation with a friend about Dubstep.
Also I decided to use bright colours like blue in my colour scheme
that would be immediately eye catching but yet appealing to my
audience.
Since 60% of the people I surveyed said that they were first drawn
to the image on a front cover I decided to make the image on my
own front cover very large in order for it to take up the whole page
and even overlap the masthead since this would be the most
appealing to my audience
I kept the amount of copy on my front cover to a minimum but only
including 2 puffs, a headline, 3 cover lines and 2 strap lines since
83% of the people in my survey thought that a front cover should
have minimal text on it.
I found out from my survey that people wanted to pay between £2
and £3 for my magazine so I decided to make the price of my
magazine £2.30 since more of the people in my survey (63%)
wanted the price to be £2 rather than £3.
15. I found that 40% of the people in
my survey wanted to win mobile
devices so I decided to give
readers a chance of winning an
iPhone 4S in the magazine
competition which I decided to
place on the contents page instead
of on the front cover because of
the fact that my audience’s
attention was not drawn very
much by competitions, only 4%
were.
16. I found that 63% of the people in
my survey wanted to see interviews
of an artist’s latest releases and also
66% of people wanted to see
articles about an artist’s personal
life or background.
Since 66% of the people in my
survey wanted to see articles about
an artist’s personal life/ background
I decided to feature this type of
article on my double page spread
because it would be very popular
amongst my audience and could
entice them into buying my
magazine.
17. Magazine Name – I called my magazine My Magazine Front Cover Price- Since I Knew my audience would be
‘Dubhead’ due to the fact that it is what people young and probably unemployed due to the fact
who constantly listen to Dubstep are called by that they are still in school I decided to make the

survey that my audience would

19. Researching other magazines: By
using the internet I could find
images of industry level magazines
like Vibe, NME and Mixmag in which
to analyse. After analysing a few
different magazine front covers,
content pages and double page
spreads I could see what the codes
and conventions of an industry
magazine where which then helped
me to structure mine in the same
way.
20. Surveying my Target Audience:
By using Zoomerang I could make
an online survey which people
would be able to fill out from the
comfort of their own homes.
Distributing my Survey: In order
for people to know about my
survey I dropped a link on my
profile via Facebook, this way
people within the age group of 16-
21 would see my survey and be
able to fill it out for me by clicking
the link
21. Technology: I used the Canon
EOS 550D to take the pictures for
my magazine. This digital camera
has a lot of features and takes
high resolution and high quality
pictures. Also it has a flash
function which allowed me to take
pictures in low light.
22. Software: I used Photoshop to
manipulate images and construct
my magazine.
Below is an example of one of the photo manipulations I did on Photoshop
1. First I selected the background 2. Then I deleted it the 3. Lastly I added a new layer.
of the image using the quick background of the picture Placed it behind the image, then

I created a blogger
account so I could
upload all my files and
productions to one
place to be viewed

28. Progression of the ‘DUBHEAD’ Magazine Front Cover Final Draft
3rd Draft
2nd Draft
1st Draft
I developed my front cover after receiving feedback from my
target audience. (audience feedback is on the next slide)
29. Audience Feedback:
1st Draft: The front cover is too plain and dull even though you’ve had used
the colour blue to try and add a little vibrancy to the page. The image is too plain
and doesn’t jump out as it should and some of the text is hard to read
2nd Draft: The cover lines at the upper left hand side of the image needs to
be aligned to the left in the same way you aligned the puffs at the bottom right
and that "Dubsteps’ “ would need to be spelled as "Dubstep's“
3rd Draft: There is a large gap between the puffs and the serial bar, you could fill
up the space with another puff or cover line relating to one of the most
interesting articles inside the magazine.
