more as they are in bold and most are in capitals. These fonts are also quite
recognizable so consumers would know the brand.
5. Graphic Layout Conclusion
(Lyrical front cover)
For Lyrical’s front cover I am choosing the first graphic layout as I feel it looks more ascetically
pleasing. I also like the way the Masthead is down the side as it shows my magazine is different to
most others. Having the cover stories in the top right hand corner seems a better idea than having
them on the left hand side next to the main image, as it could draw the readers attention away from
the main image. The headline/anchorage text is more central in the first layout and this will again
seek the readers attention and will get more noticed that it being further down on the page.
6. Hand drawn Layout Conclusion (Lyrical front
cover)
For Lyrical’s front cover I am choosing the first hand drawn layout as I feel it
looks more ascetically pleasing. I also like the way the Masthead is down the
side as it shows my magazine is different to most others. Having the cover
stories in the top right hand corner seems a better idea than having them on
the left hand side next to the main image, as it could draw the readers
attention away from the main image. The headline/anchorage text is more
central in the first layout and this will again seek the readers attention and
will get more noticed that it being further down on the page.
7. For Lyrical’s double page spread, I am choosing the first design as having the headline title at the top
part of the page would catch the readers eye, as well as the quote across the middle. Readers do
like to see pictures, therefore having a picture take up half a page would draw them in as they
would also be able to see clearly who the artist is. It also makes the reader think there is less writing
and they could therefore feel more obliged to read the article.

10. House style (Lyrical)
Colour scheme
The denotation of the colour scheme for the magazine front cover will be exciting yet simple. It will
show that my magazine is worth the read and that readers will not be disappointed with what is inside.
The colour crimson has been chosen for the masthead because I plan on having a blue background. A
crimson type colour will stand out and almost pop from the page. The colour crimson connotes nobility,
high social status and royalty. This then connotes to the reader that the artists who are featured within
my magazine have these qualities. People aspire to be like these artists and have their qualities,
therefore this making readers want to read about them. Crimson also connotes love, this would connote
to audience members that they will love my magazine.
Font style
My magazines masthead font is ‘Poetsen One-Regular’. This is because it is quite easy to read while also
being visible. It is quite a bold font, this meaning it is fairly eye catching and recognisable. For the rest of
my magazine, my font will be ‘Verdana’ this is because it is is a font that is quite spaced out and easy to
read. It is also quite laid back which could connote that there is no pressure within my magazine and
without making the text size to big, the font is originally fairly big which again makes it easier to read.
Social media
Lyrical would be in synergy with social media as this would then appeal to more customers and get my
magazine to be more known. I would use social medias such as Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram etc. I
would use these to keep readers updated as to what was happening within the magazine. There would
also be exclusive interviews, videos and competitions.

Flat Plan for ‘Lyrical’
13. What will you ‘Repeat’ (Steve Neale – 1980)
Front Cover (Lyrical)
With Steve Neale’s genre theory, he states that ’for media texts to be
successful, they must have elements of repetition and difference' (Neale
1980, 48). He adds that 'difference is absolutely essential to the economy
of genre’ meaning that mere repetition would not necessarily attract an
audience.
With my inspiration magazine being ‘billboard’, I would repeat the
simplicity of their front cover by having only the artists name and a small
bit of information next to the main image so that the reader is focused on
the main story as it may interest them. Most of their magazine covers also
tend to have a coloured background, therefore I would also repeat this as
not only does it keep it simplistic but it also doesn’t distract the reader
from the main image. I will also repeat the front style as I believe it is
attractive to the reader and by having the artists name bigger and bolder
then the rest of the text it could draw in more audience members, this
could be because the artist could appeal to them. A difference I will make
is to put a few more cover lines onto the front cover so other readers who
do not necessarily like the featured artist know who else is in the magazine
of whom they make like and find interesting. I will also add a barcode.
By repeating all of these aspects from my inspired magazine it will
encourage readers to pick up my magazine and read it. As well as it looking
professional, effective and interesting.

difference' (Neale 1980, 48). He adds that 'difference is
absolutely essential to the economy of genre’ meaning that mere
repetition would not necessarily attract an audience.
With my inspirational magazine being ‘billboard’ I would repeat
the simplicity of their double page spread by having a small part
of the interview on one part of the page and a large picture of
the artist. This will keep the readers attention as the pages wont
be to busy and distracting. They will also be able to see easily
who the article is about. Another aspect that I will repeat is the
small intro blur about the artist. This will give the readers a small
insight into the artist if the artist is not well known to the public,
or if the reader just doesn't know much about the artist.
A difference I will have is I will put my pages in colour as this will
be more eye catching to the reader and wont bore them.
By repeating all of these aspects from my inspired magazine it
will encourage readers to pick up my magazine and read it. As
well as it looking professional, effective and interesting.
15. Target audience of magazine (Lyrical)
My target audience will have an age range of 16-30 males and females as on the whole it is mainly
young adults that listen to this genre of music and enjoy it. The artists within the ‘pop rock’ genre
are also a mix of female and male hence why I would aim it at both genders. My target audience
would be in the socio-economic classes of B-C2 as they would have to have money to be able to
afford to spend money on a music magazine and time to read it.
Hartley’s Theory
Age – The age range for my magazine to be targeted at would be 16-30 year olds as typically these
are the age that listen to a pop-rock genre.
Gender - Pop-rock can be aimed at both male and female. However, I feel there is more of a female
fan base as there is typically a lot of male artists within this genre. There is however a rising within
the female artists.
Class – My magazine would be focused on middle-working class and young adults. This is because
they will have spare time to read my magazine and take in the information within the articles.
16. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Will mainly consist of Explorers as pop-rock is quite popular therefore they could then
consider themselves as being in with the crowd after reading this magazine. They would also
like the different articles that would be featured within the magazine as there would be
more of choice during the month of what they could read.
Katz’ Uses and Gratifications Theory
Inform and educate – the reader would be learning something from reading the content
within my magazine, as they would be reading about one of their favorite artists or even
new upcoming artists
Diversion – the reader would be able to relax and immerse themselves within the content of
the story/interview. It would distract them and allow them to take their mind off of anything
that is currently happening within their life.
Target audience of magazine
(Lyrical continued)
17. Psychographics
Psychographic is the study and classification of people according to their attitudes,
aspirations, and other psychological criteria, especially in market research. For ‘Lyrical’ and
‘A’ my target audience will be ‘Aspirers’ as they are young adults and may aspire to be like
the famous music artists featured in my magazine. They will also be explorers as again
they are young adults but this also means they will want to explore so that they can
become individual and find out what things they like.

23. Graphic Layout Conclusion
(A front cover)
For A’s front cover I am choosing the first graphic layout as I feel it looks more ascetically pleasing. I
also like the way the strapline is under the masthead as it looks more normal. Having the cover
stories down the right hand side, under the Masthead seems a better idea than having them on the
left hand side next to the main image, as it could connote to the reader more of what the magazine
is about. The headline/anchorage text is more central in the first layout and this will again seek the
readers attention and will get more noticed that it being further down on the page. With the quote
being at an angle also makes it a bit more abstract which could then appeal more to the reader.

also makes the reader think there is less writing and they could feel more obliged to read the

also doesn't distract them from the image or the article.

Colour scheme
The denotation of the colour scheme for the magazine front cover will be simple yet exciting. It will
show that my magazine is worth the read and that readers will not be disappointed. I have chosen to
have the masthead white backing onto a blush filled coloured box, similar to what Q magazine have
done. The background will be a photo of an artist covering the whole page with a background of a grey
gradient, I am not to sure yet. The colour blush connotes happiness, love and youth. This then connotes
to the reader that the artists featured in my magazine have these qualities and that people aspire to be
just like them, therefore this would make readers want to read about them. Blush also connotes love,
this connoting to audience members that they will love my magazine.
Font style
My magazines masthead font is ‘Café & Brewery’. This is because it is quite easy to read while also being
visible. As the masthead is just one letter, it becomes quite recognizable and easy to remember to the
consumer. For the rest of my magazine, my font will be ‘Verdana’ this is because it is is a font that is
quite spaced out and easy to read. It is also quite laid back which could connote that there is no
pressure within my magazine and without making the text size to big, the font is originally fairly big

magazine to be more known. I would use social medias such as Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram etc. I
would use these to keep readers updated as to what was happening within the magazine. There would
also be exclusive interviews, videos and competitions. There would be versions of my magazine
available on the magazine website and Facebook, this is an example of technological convergence.

1980, 48). He adds that 'difference is absolutely essential to the economy
of genre’ meaning that mere repetition would not necessarily attract an
audience.
With my inspiration magazine being ‘Q’, I would repeat the masthead
placement as the top left hand corner is somewhere that is eye catching
and obvious to the reader. I will also repeat the cover lines as it would
interest the reader as to what else would be featured within my magazine.
It would also make the front cover more interesting and fill it out a bit
rather than just having a single picture. Another thing I would repeat is the
artists name and a small bit of information being right next to, or on top of,
the main image so that the reader can be drawn into and get focused on
the main story as it may interest them. A difference I will have is not to
crowd the front cover with to many of other artists names. This could
easily take the focus away from the featured artist.
By repeating all of these aspects from my inspired magazine it will
encourage readers to pick up my magazine and read it. As well as it looking
professional, effective and interesting.

essential to the economy of genre’ meaning that mere repetition
would not necessarily attract an audience.
With my inspirational magazine being ‘Q’ I would repeat the idea
of a main image taking up one full page and the interview on the
opposite page. This will allow the reader to know exactly who the
interview is about. Another aspect that I will repeat is the large
initial of the artist. I think this is very eye catching and will again
allow the reader to know who the interview is about. I will also
repeat the pull quote on the main image, this is effective as it
allows a small insight into the attitude of the interview and
normally the pull quote is what makes the reader read the article.
A difference I will have is the mood of the article, I will have my
model look slightly more approachable.

44. Changes I made to my final front cover
As shown below, I have slightly changed the layout of my front cover. I did this as the
picture I chose did not completely go with the chosen layout. The main change I made was
swapping around the cover lines with the main headline, quote and anchorage text. It
gives a more professional feeling and comes across more ascetically pleasing. Another
change I made was putting the strap line below the masthead rather than on top. Within
the Q magazine, they sometimes do not include a strapline however when they do it is
sometimes moved around, I however found that putting it below the masthead connotes
professionalism and simplicity. I also moved the barcode to the bottom left, instead of
being top right as I did not want to cover the guitar head completely as the guitar is the
main object that lets the audience know this is a music magazine. The last change I made
was adding in a puff promotion. I added this in to enable my magazine to catch the readers
eye and grab their attention to my magazine. Without this puff promotion, my magazine
also looked as if there was empty space and this could connote to readers laziness,
unprofessionalism and that my magazine is not very good.

To enable my magazine to come out successfully and looking professional I will
need a Publisher. A publisher is a company or person that prepares and issues
books, journals, magazines or music for sale to the public. I will also need
Editors and Graphic Designers. Editors are the people that determine and are
in charge of the final content of a newspaper, magazine or book. Graphic
designers are people who have skill to mix both text and pictures to look
appealing to then go into magazines, advertisements and books. This can be
physically or digitally. The next set of staff I need are Journalists, Writers and
Photographers. Journalists are the people who write for the magazine,
newspapers, news websites or prepare news to be broadcast. Writers are the
people who write books, stories and most importantly the interviews for a
magazine or newspaper. Photographers are the people who will take the
photos to go into advertisements, magazines, newspapers and so on.
Photographers can be self- employed or employed by a company. Staff will be
needed in Marketing and Advertising. The staff in marketing would be dealing
with getting the product, in this case my magazine, out there for the public to
buy and making the next issue sell more than the previous one. This would be
done by advertising it on platforms such as social media, including in the advert
who will be included in the next issue. This will attract more people to buy my
magazine. Advertising plays a similar roll as they will be advertising the
magazine on social media websites such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and
Snapchat. Finally the last set of staff I would need are people in Finance and
people in Human Resources. The Finance team are in charge of all of the
money side of things throughout the company, this includes planning,
organising and controlling all of the companies finances so that the company
does not run out of money. Human Resources deal with administration, hiring
staff and the training of any staff.
48. Printing Quotes and Cost
To print my magazine, per copy, it
would cost £15.40 with a delivery fee
of £4.96. This makes an overall total of
£18.47 per magazine. I used this
information for 20,000 copies of my
magazine, to be printed and delivered
it would cost £10,090.97 overall.
(£8.409.14 for the printing of my
magazine and £683.10 for delivery.

49. Profit and loss break down
£657,034.24 – £70,000 = £587,034.24
£657,034.24 includes all the equipment costs and staff costs.
£70,000 is how much I will make by selling 20,000 magazines at £3.50
each.
50. Audio visual advertising
As a rule, radio advertising is charged at a rate of approximately £2 per
one thousand listeners at one time. If a show has 100,000 listeners at
10am, then buying a 30-second spot at that time will cost you £200.
The late show's 10,000 listeners at 11pm would only cost £20.
I think this is an effective way to advertise as it is not that costly and it
can reach a lot of people. It will give the listeners a clear image of what
my magazine is about.

52. Water Marking
Watermarking is a way of protecting your own
material. This is essential for magazines as they
pay a lot of money to get professional
photographs and to have them all published
within their magazine, therefore they would not
want people just using them either as their own
or without giving the magazine some credit.
53. Offensive language
I am going to ensure that there is no offensive language within my
magazine. This is any language that is likely to be upsetting, insulting,
or objectionable to some or most people. A prime example of this
would be swearing and racism.
As shown in the pictures below, I have made sure that none of my
cover lines or pull quotes have any sort of offence in them. If any of
my content did show any offence I could risk having readers sue me,
this would not look good on my magazine company or myself.
54. Conclusion of final magazine
The magazine I have chosen to use is ‘A’. I have chosen this magazine as
I think the colour scheme works well and I do prefer the overall layout
both the front cover and DPS. I also think it will appeal more to my
audience as the colours seem to ‘pop’ more and it does look more
professional than ‘Lyrical’. The DPS of ‘A’ looks more like my magazine
of inspiration which would suit my target audience more as ‘Q’
magazine follow this layout and they are quite successful, following my
magazine of inspiration could lead my magazine to a bigger success as
the audience will like the familiarity.
