Pitch
Cordelia Langstaff is considering names for her new music magazine, including "OUTRIGHT MUSIC", "2DAYS 2UNES", and "BEAT". She plans to publish the magazine monthly to produce a bulkier issue with more content to charge more per issue. Her survey found subscribers prefer a monthly magazine to a weekly one for more substantial content. Her target audience is 16-21 year olds in Yorkshire who enjoy certain music brands.
My music audience in relation to other music magazines
The target audience for the music magazine is dedicated hard rock and metal fans ages 25-40. The magazine's more subdued color palette and concise articles about many artists indicates it is aimed at mature fans rather than casual listeners. A secondary audience of teenagers and young adults may also be interested due to the dark imagery and coverage of newer artists. The magazine targets both male and female readers but primarily men.

The target audience is 16-25 year olds interested in live music. Revenue will be generated through magazine sales, subscriptions, and a 5% partnership with featured venues.

Homework two
Kerrang! is a UK-based magazine devoted to rock music that is currently published by Bauer Media Group, a large European publishing company. Originally focused on British heavy metal, Kerrang! became the best-selling British music newspaper in the early 2000s. Bauer Media owns over 300 magazines across 15 countries and various media properties. As one of Bauer Media's music and entertainment titles, Kerrang! delivers rock news, reviews, and features to its passionate audience each week.
Question two
The magazine represents young adults aged 16-24, particularly those from an urban, black ethnicity background. It uses language and references topics like student life, fashion, and music gigs that this age group can relate to. The magazine also features black models and artists like DJs from popular radio stations among young people interested in black music to attract and inspire this target demographic.
Feed back on front cover
Based on feedback from 70 survey respondents aged 16-30, the document provides recommendations for improving the front cover of a magazine about Brazilian music. Key suggestions include adding a barcode and cover lines, emphasizing important details, limiting colors to three, lowering the price, and including more features. Respondents felt the cover conveyed sophistication through its colors and message, but could better attract readers with additional text.
Concept
My magazine will define the alternative indie/pop music genre by combining elements of NME magazine, which focuses on indie styling, and Q magazine, which covers new global pop and rock stars. The target audience is boys and girls aged 16-21 who have unique, quirky styles and rebel against trends. Bauer Media Group is the best publishing house for the magazine as it is Europe's largest privately owned publisher with over 300 magazines across multiple platforms, including music magazines like Q. My magazine would complement their portfolio by targeting fans of alternative indie/pop genres.
Top 3 music magazines in the uk
The document discusses three popular UK music magazines - Q, Mojo, and NME. Q magazine targets those over 25 years old and focuses on older genres of pop and rock music. It uses red, black, and white colors and is published monthly. Mojo covers various genres including indie and 1960s music, and targets 15-25 year old males with its sans-serif bold font. NME targets 13-19 year olds and focuses on rock and progressive rock music through interviews and articles about upcoming artists and releases. It uses a bold block font to catch the attention of its target audience.
Magazine pitch
My magazine called "The Drop" will be published monthly and focus on electronic music genres like dubstep, electrohouse, and trance. It will cost £2.99 per issue. Articles will include event reviews like Tomorrowland and new music releases. Each issue will include competitions with prizes and giveaways to engage readers aged 16-21 who enjoy dancing and following music trends.
Question 3
Rhinegold Publishing Ltd would be the ideal publisher to distribute the author's classical music magazine. As a leading UK publisher of music and performing arts magazines, Rhinegold specializes in classical music and opera genres. They understand the conventions of classical music magazines and how to target the intended audience. Rhinegold also publishes directories and supplements that provide useful information for people in the classical music industry such as music festivals and competitions. In contrast, IPC Publishing is not a suitable publisher as it only produces one music magazine focused on indie and rock genres, rather than classical music. IPC's other magazine brands are not related to music.
My publication plan
The document outlines the publication plan for a monthly magazine called LDM focused on house music. It will be sold at newsagents, supermarkets and book stores for £3.40. The informal style magazine will provide information on upcoming events and festivals, articles and pictures from past events, reviews of new technology, fashion trends, club and festival listings, interviews, and top music acts through a simple 3-column layout dominated by images.
Magazine pitch details
The POP Download is a proposed weekly pop culture magazine targeting 13 to 18 year olds. It will have a colorful and modern style with the forte font.

IPC has been publishing magazines for over 150 years, starting with titles focused on outdoor activities and gardening. In later decades, they expanded to topics like women's interests and music. Their magazines have targeted a variety of audiences. IPC would be an appropriate publisher for a new music magazine due to their long history in publishing, broad range of audiences, and experience with successful music titles like NME. They may focus on genres not covered by other magazines, such as indie rock. While IPC publishes some music magazines, alternative publishers like Bauer could also work well since they do not currently have a magazine dedicated to music but do have experience publishing multiple music-focused titles.
Evaluation Question 3
IPC would be suitable to distribute the media product because they have experience with similar music magazines like NME that focus on alternative music. While IPC magazines appeal more to women, their experience with the target genre and audience would help. Bauer publishes more mainstream music magazines for a wide audience, but none focus on the same genre. Therefore, IPC is best to distribute the product since they understand the targeted alternative music audience.
Evaluation Question 4
My magazine, AlterNation, targets people aged 16-24 who enjoy indie and alternative rock music. It also attracts those interested in new music trends. I created a survey to learn about this target audience's music tastes and preferences for an indie/alternative rock magazine. The survey supported the idea of creating such a magazine by providing insights into their minds. The magazine incorporates associations of the genre like going to live events and having a unique style through its cover, articles and content to strongly connect with its niche fan base.
Market reseach
This document discusses several popular music magazines, including their publishers and target audiences. Q Magazine is a monthly publication focused on modern music that reaches over 1 million fans. Rolling Stone is a biweekly magazine on popular culture founded in 1967 in San Francisco. Mojo caters to classic rock fans and was first published in 1993. We Love Pop targets 13-16 year olds through social media and gifts. Rock Sound has over 1.3 million total audience and NME was founded in 1949 with over 7 million readers. The magazines have different publishers including Bauer Media Group, Egmont, and Time Inc. UK.
Representation
The magazine represents its target rock music audience of people over age 16 by featuring information, images, and bands of interest to that genre. It aims its content and designs at readers in their late teens and early adulthood, who are most likely to buy magazines and want to learn about their favorite bands, concerts, and festivals they can now legally attend. The magazine also uses age-appropriate images and language to represent its target demographic.
Question 2
The media product represents several social groups. Young people enjoy going out on weekends, listening to music, and watching TV. They also like to spend money on expensive brands as status symbols. Music admirers include those who enjoy mainstream music, keep up with music charts, and listen to various radio stations. The older generation sometimes buys expensive products to aspire to more money or a different life.
Case study
The document discusses NME (New Musical Express), a highly popular UK music magazine established in 1952. It summarizes that NME originated as a music newspaper and became one of the most established music magazines in the world, known for its coverage of punk rock in the 1970s. It also launched an online version in 1996 that now averages 7 million users per month. NME prides itself on being a platform for relatively unknown indie bands to promote themselves and get noticed. It focuses on both mainstream and promising new indie rock talent. Despite some changes over the years and a decline in print circulation, NME still has a loyal fanbase and remains relevant through its online presence and social media.

IPC began launching magazines in the late 1800s targeting middle class white men, but began expanding their audiences over time. In the early 1900s, they started targeting white middle class women with magazines like Woman's Own. In the 1950s, they launched music magazines like NME that attracted younger, mostly white middle class male audiences. IPC has since continued targeting a wide range of audiences across gender, ethnicity and social class.
4a
The document discusses the history and evolution of IPC Media, a magazine publisher in the UK. It notes that IPC originally targeted middle-class white men in the 1800s-early 1900s but then began targeting women in the early 1900s. In the 1950s, IPC launched music magazines as the music industry boomed. Over time, IPC has expanded its audiences to be more inclusive of various demographics. The document also examines IPC's experience in launching magazines and targeting diverse audiences.
Magazine Concept
- The magazine will focus on electronic dance music (EDM) as its genre since EDM has many subgenres and a broader target audience than R&B, its other top choice.
- The magazine will have a unique selling point of hosting a monthly competition where readers can submit music tracks and the winner receives publicity. It will also provide a free app accessible via QR codes that allows beginners to easily make their own music.
- The magazine will be published by Immediate Media since they do not currently publish similar magazines, avoiding competition within the company for readers.
Evaluation
1) The document describes the process and techniques used to create an indie rock music magazine as part of a school assignment, including conducting research on existing magazines and reader surveys.
2) Key techniques included using simple color schemes, many images as preferred by readers, informal language to connect with the target audience of teenagers and young adults, and featuring new band releases and concert dates.
3) The intended distribution methods included both print and digital formats at music venues, festivals, and retailers to reach the target audience who have a passion for music.
Interview analysis
Cordelia Langstaff interviewed two people about their social media use, hobbies, and preferences. Both enjoy spending time with friends in York or Leeds and use Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. They described themselves as happy, caring, funny, lazy, musical, and social. When given £100, they would spend it on clothing from brands like Apple, Topshop, and Ironfist. They both prefer a mix of personalities in their friend groups and live music over recorded music.
Magazine analysis
The document analyzes the layout and design of the front covers, contents pages, and double page spreads of three magazines: Prog, Mojo, and Classic Rock. Some key points made about the magazines' designs include: using contrasting colors in the color schemes to make text and images stand out; having bold mastheads on the front covers that are still easy to read; breaking up long texts with images while sometimes including captions; and using different sized fonts and text boxes to package a lot of information without crowding the pages. The overall summaries highlight common design elements across the magazines that aim to attract and engage readers.

Contact sheet
The author used several tools in Photoshop to edit pictures for a magazine, including tools to adjust brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation. The eyedropper and brush tools were used to smooth blemishes, and the black and white tool created a unique look for the front cover. Additional editing of clarity, vibrance, and saturation in Camera Raw 7.0 further enhanced the photos.
Survey analysis
Cordelia created an open survey on Survey Monkey to gather information and shared the link on social media sites. Most of the 30 respondents were women aged 16-21 who preferred rock music and purchasing magazines monthly. The most popular magazines were Kerrang! and MixMag, about rock and dance music. Respondents would pay between £1-£7 for a magazine and liked photos alongside articles. Interviews and new music releases were most interesting, and online subscription was preferred over retail stores like Tesco's for magazine purchases. The Leeds Festival was the most popular music festival among respondents.

It describes medium shots of the band members in a hotel room with a beamed roof, medium long shots of the band in a studio with black background and high key lighting wearing relaxed street styles, and medium long shots of the band in varying locations from a studio to awards shows wearing urban but stylish clothes with a slight gothic style using leather.
Survey analysis
Cordelia created an open survey on Survey Monkey to gather information and shared the link on social media sites. Most of the 30 respondents were women aged 16-21 who preferred rock music and purchasing magazines monthly. The most popular magazines were Kerrang! and MixMag, about rock and dance music. Respondents would pay between £1-£7 for a magazine and liked photos alongside articles. Interviews and new music releases were most interesting while online subscription and stocking in Tesco were preferred. The Leeds Festival was the most popular among festival options.

Pitch
- 2. OUTRIGHT MUSIC – This is a choice for me as with my music magazine, only music will be included so it will attract my target audience. 2DAYS 2UNES – This name stands out with the mixture of numbers and letters, showing that the magazine involves music from today.
- 3. My magazine will be published once a month as this means that we will be able to produce a more bulky magazine with more contents which means we can charge more. With my magazine being published once a month subscribers will enjoy this more according to my survey as they feel that a magazine published once a week doesn’t have as much contents that they would like.
