Q3 media evaluation
The document discusses the process of distributing a magazine from planning to printing and selling. It suggests that an independent shop or company specializing in a specific genre, like music, would be best for distributing a music magazine. Advertising the magazine in the back of other magazines, using posters in shops and online would help promote the magazine without the high costs of television advertising. The distribution company Baur Media is given as an example of one that might distribute a music magazine.
Evaluation 3
The document discusses distributing a media product that is aimed at females aged 15-21 in the UK. It considers distributing through a major company like IPC Media or Bauer, which would handle printing and selling in major cities, but could reduce creative control. It also discusses the challenges of self-distribution, such as printing costs and deciding where to sell. Overall, it concludes that using a distribution company would help the magazine sell better initially, though it may be best to start with a trial period to test demand.
Evaluation 3
Ipc media or Bauer would be good distributors for the magazine as they distribute similar magazines like Grazia and Closer. Using a major distributor would make the magazine available in more locations but the creator may lose some creative control. Distributing the magazine independently would be difficult due to printing and distribution costs so a distributor is preferable, at least at first to test the market for the magazine. The magazine should be trialled in major cities first where there is more potential for sales.
Evaluation question 3
Bauer Media would be the most suitable company to distribute the magazine. While Bauer distributes three existing music magazines, they are aimed at different audiences, so there is room for a new magazine. Bauer is also successful at reaching their target audiences. Conde Nast would not be suitable as their magazines are aimed at an older audience and they lack experience with music magazines. Time Inc UK would also not be suitable as the target audience for the new magazine would already be buying their existing music magazines.
Evaluation qu 3
The author decided not to use IPC as a distributor for their new music magazine because IPC already distributes a similar magazine called NME that targets the same audience. Distributing through IPC would result in direct competition with NME that could prevent the new magazine from being successful. Instead, the author chose Hearst Magazines UK because they do not currently distribute any music magazines so there would be no direct competition. Hearst also distributes popular magazines like Esquire and Company that could help attract a wider audience and increase the success of the new music magazine.

My target audience for the magazine is teens to mid-twenties who enjoy music genres featured in magazines like Kerrang!. As most will be students or early career, the magazine must be affordable and distributed widely through both physical stores and digital formats online. An online version allows accessing a larger market as most people can use computers. While the digital format reaches more, physical copies in stores are also important for those without technology access. Bauer Media is best suited to distribute the magazine since they already publish a similar title in Kerrang! and have experience and connections in the industry.
Eval q3
The author is considering which media institution would be best suited to distribute their new pop music magazine targeted at younger women and older teens. They analyze two potential publishers: Bauer Media and Development Hell. Bauer Media is a larger, more established company that publishes magazines reaching over 19 million readers per week. However, Development Hell only publishes one music magazine currently. Ultimately, the author determines that Bauer Media would be the better choice due to its experience in attracting and retaining audiences across multiple platforms like TV, radio, and tours, not just magazines. Bauer Media also publishes magazines that target a similar demographic to the author's proposed magazine.
Eval q3
A large media company like IPC Media or Bauer Media Group, which already publish similar style magazines like NME and Q, would be good candidates to publish and distribute the magazine. They could aim to compete with those magazines and outsell them. Alternatively, a company like BBC Magazines, which currently does not have this type of magazine, may want to publish it to expand their offerings.

Development hell limited
Development hell limited is a small, independent publishing company based in London with specialist editors experienced in dance and club music magazines. While a larger company like Bauer may provide more advertisement and hype for a new magazine, Development hell limited's expertise in the target audience and independent nature would allow for direct input from the audience and editors to make the magazine most appealing to readers. Their focus would be on the target readers rather than profits, creating a better experience for fans.

Question 3
The document discusses potential media institutions to distribute an indie music magazine. It suggests concerts and festivals as ideal venues since the target audience of indie fans would be guaranteed to attend.

Q3&4
The document discusses distributing a magazine targeted towards teens and people in their early twenties. It suggests distributing the magazine both physically in stores like corner shops and larger stores like WHSmith, as well as digitally online to access a larger audience. An online version would allow embedding videos alongside articles to further engage the target audience. While digital distribution is important, physical copies would still be available for those without internet access. The document recommends Bauer Media as the distributing institution since they already publish a similar magazine called Kerrang! and have experience successfully distributing popular youth media.
Q3 dfb
Spin Media would be an appropriate distributor for the author's R&B magazine called TIMELESS. Spin Media already distributes Vibe magazine, another R&B magazine that TIMELESS would compete with. The author believes their magazine would stand out from others by solely focusing on R&B music, rather than grouping it with rap. They plan to initially distribute TIMELESS in newsagents alongside similar magazines before expanding to supermarket sales to reach a wider audience.
6 - main task intro
The document discusses plans for a magazine focused on rap music. It will profile an up-and-coming rap artist who is not yet widely known in order to appeal to readers' interest in underdogs. The target audience is teenagers aged 12-24 who are the current and future rap fans. Research methods will include mood boards, questionnaires, magazine layout plans, and analyzing other publications. The magazine will be distributed both physically in shops and digitally online, with options to subscribe for regular weekly issues or purchase single copies.
Evaluation 3
Bauer Media or IPC Media would be good choices to publish the magazine because they are established in the genre and not too large. While other publishers may not have experience in the genre or be too big, Bauer and IPC are recognizable with experience publishing similar magazines, making them more likely to successfully publish and promote the new magazine. After reviewing the options, Bauer Media is selected as they have published many magazines in the same genre.
Question 3 Evaluation
The document discusses the potential media institution to distribute a classical music magazine for young people called Crescendo. It considers both mainstream publishers like Frontline that distribute magazines to large audiences and make money through advertising, and independent publishers that focus on niche audiences. While an independent publisher would allow more creative freedom, a mainstream publisher could help the magazine reach a larger audience and make more money. Ultimately, distributing both a print magazine and digital content online would allow the magazine to reach young people across multiple platforms.
Question 3
COMAG would be the media institution that would distribute the author's hip hop magazine product because:
1) COMAG already distributes several other hip hop magazines that the author used for design inspiration and references, including "The Source", "Vibe", "XXL", and "Hip Hop".
2) As one of the largest distributors in the UK and abroad, COMAG would be able to effectively distribute the magazine to target audiences across many countries.

3) what kind of media institution might final
The document discusses where and how the author's music magazine would be distributed. The main points are:

3) A student magazine may be distributed for free at universities, which are ideal for a smaller scale magazine targeted at students.
4) The author plans to publish the magazine with Bauer Media Group, the same publisher as Kerrang magazine, to leverage their experience and promotion of music magazines.

Unit 30 LO2 – Research
The document discusses research conducted to determine the content and format of a proposed photography magazine. Students in a photography course were surveyed about their interests. Most respondents indicated they would be interested in a magazine priced between £2-£3 that provided tips on taking and editing photos, as well as reviews of basic equipment. Respondents also stated they would prefer the magazine be released on a weekly basis to continuously learn new skills from professional photographers.
Evaluation q3
Bauer Media would be well-suited to distribute the magazine because they already distribute similar music and entertainment magazines without direct competitors. As a large, reputable company that owns radio stations and distributes over 20 magazines, Bauer Media could leverage their experience and reputation to help the new magazine succeed. Their wide distribution network through newsagents, supermarkets, and petrol stations would make the magazine easily accessible to a broad audience.
Q3
The document discusses distributing an independent magazine called "Eternal" through Vice magazine. Vice focuses on independent arts and culture and challenges dominant ideology, making it a good fit. The author considers Vice's model of direct distribution through independent record stores in cities. While Vice distributes for free, the author thinks charging £1.50 per issue of "Eternal" is better to generate profit.

Media evaluation question 3
1) BBC Magazines would be a suitable distributor for the author's teen music magazine as it is a subsidiary of the respected BBC brand and currently lacks a magazine targeting that demographic.
2) BBC Magazines distributes magazines for pre-teens and adults but not teens, so the author's magazine could fill a gap in their portfolio.

Question 3
IPC Media would be the best publisher for a new hip-hop magazine as they publish different genres but not hip-hop, so there would be less competition. They publish magazines like Nuts, Women's Weekly, and Now. Distributing the magazine to local shops, corner shops, off licenses, and high street shops would allow it to compete against other music magazines. Selling in eye-level shops like Nisa, WHSmiths, Tesco, Asda's, CostCutter and Londis is best as the target audience shops there. Subscriptions and social media pages on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook would keep the audience updated and attract more people. An app made with Apple's help could initially target

My target audience for the indie/alternative music magazine would be men and women between 16-25 years old. This age range enjoys discovering new music outside the mainstream and attending music gigs. The magazine would appeal to gig attendees through listings of live music events and features on up-and-coming artists.

Festival guides and articles on the "greatest rock meltdowns" were included to attract readers interested in live music events and current rock news. Words like "greatest" were used to suggest exclusivity and keeping up with successful music.
Question 4
The target audience for the magazine would be 15-25 year olds of both genders interested in small, unsigned bands. The magazine would focus on the alternative genre of grunge/punk featuring articles on lesser known artists and their style. It would have a messy, non-polished design to match the genre including black and white photos with jagged cutouts. Market research found potential readers would pay up to £5 and want to learn about the artists beyond just their music.
Magazine Assignment Final
The document discusses Kerrang magazine, a print rock music magazine. It analyzes various elements of Kerrang's design and content to understand its target audience and purpose. Key points made include:
- The magazine targets adolescents and young adults based on its informal language, affordable price of £2.50, and images of casually dressed rock musicians.
- The magazine's design uses bold red and white colors and fonts to stand out visually and match the rebellious stereotype of rock music.
- Cover stories feature dominant images of popular rock artists to attract fans and build readership. Secondary images and casual poses aim to help readers relate to musicians.
- Inside spreads maintain the color scheme while varying font sizes
Evaluation
The document describes the process of creating an indie/alternative music magazine. It discusses how conventions from existing magazines were followed, such as using studio photography, minimalist designs, and consistent color schemes. Social media links and free posters were included to attract the target audience of 15-24 year olds. Technologies like Photoshop, InDesign, and surveys were used at different stages of design and research. The final product showed improvements over preliminary work through more sophisticated designs and informed research on audiences and conventions.
Keiron bradbury
The document summarizes an evaluation of a student's media magazine project. The student learned about magazine conventions like featuring the main story's subject on the cover. Audience testing found the magazine appealed to its target of teens and young adults. The student gained skills using image editing software and incorporating more design elements like varied fonts and colors. Comparing the preliminary and final magazines showed improvements in making images more engaging and following typical magazine formats.
3 Covers
This document analyzes the formats, styles, and target audiences of several music magazines. It discusses the minimalist, poster-like designs of magazine covers that appeal to unique, egoistic readers through a focus on individual artists rather than bands. The author chooses magazines to analyze for inspiration in developing their own music magazine design. They note lessons around simplifying designs with less text to create more impact.
Double page spread [autosaved]
This document lists pros and cons of both print and digital magazines. For print magazines, pros include not needing an internet connection and being portable, while cons are lack of eco-friendliness and risk of loss or damage. Pros of digital magazines are lower costs, worldwide reach, and interactive features, while cons include needing internet access and preference for tangible formats. The summary provides an overview of the key advantages and disadvantages of each format discussed in the document.
Evaluation
The document discusses the media product's use of conventions and challenges to magazine conventions. The cover follows conventions like magazine layout but uses an unconventional close-up image. The contents page generally follows conventions but has an unconventional layout. The double page spread follows conventions like dominant images but challenges conventions through limited text.
Front cover Analysis
The document analyzes the front cover of a magazine. It discusses several key elements of the cover design including the masthead, sell lines, main cover line, price, freebees, and main image. The masthead is big and bold to catch the reader's eye. Sell lines let readers know what's inside without giving too much away. The main cover line and main image are used to engage readers interested in the featured artist. Price generally indicates the target audience as higher-priced weekly magazines typically target social classes A, B, and C1. Freebees provide extra value for readers interested in the music genre. Together these elements are designed to attract the magazine's intended readership.
Question 5
The document discusses strategies used to attract and address the intended audience of an indie music magazine prototype. It describes using an all-male front cover to appeal to male indie fans. Features like a model close in age to students, a bold font, and a blue background are intended to make the magazine stand out. Mentions of popular indie artists Beck, Arctic Monkeys, and a ticket giveaway for Milky Chance band are aimed at attracting readers. Inside, honest album reviews and avoidance of gossip focus on the music. Simplistic double page spreads allow more space for articles.
