Research: Target Audience Profile

This is a Word Cloud that shows interests and places that the age group i'm looking to cater for is interested in.

My Target Audience- There age will be between the age of 15-21 this will allow me to have a teen and university audience. It will be a magazine not for a specific gender (unisex); it will be for all races, ethinicity and cultures. The magazine will be quiet expensive as the amount of colour and quality of paper will be high leading to a higher price magazine. The age of the TA (15-21) sometimes is a very relaxed age apart from education, leading them to maybe relaxing by using music.

Research 7 of my chosen genre: Classical Magazine Analysis- Contents Page

This contents page isn't usual to modern music magazine, which is usually a two page spread; but this shows the difference between a classical music magazine and 'Kerrang' or 'Q' which is a two page spread that is busier with photos and different colours. This contents page is very organised which is conventional to a Classical magazine, as it is for a more interlectual or older audience. 

The title of this contents page is in a contrasting colour to the background that helps to stand out and make it recognisable. The banner breaks conventions and is in the centre of the page. I like this feature and it has influenced one of my decisions. This is a thin fine serif font that is also very simple again due to the audience the magazine has they don't want a complicated title. The date/issue is also located below this help to show the reader easily what the basic information is that might not be found on the front cover.

The contents page uses small sub headings to section off different page numbers for different parts of the magazine. They headings are also in a unconventional colour for a classical magazine, which is usually black or red, they have used pink which stands to make the magazine easily to navigate through. The pink also symbolises [Barthes] love, passion and femininity and the main feature is of a female.

The page titles and numbers are listed in a very organised order which has been used to make it easy for the reader. The writing is also in simple black and white as it doesn't need to be bright and colourful as the audience doesn't need to be bright. The page numbers are the same size as the headings for each feature. these are in bold. 

How this research has influenced my planning and creativity

The size of the font on the images is effective and leads readers straight to main features. There is also great synergy as the image from the front cover also features on contents. 

What I would include in my magazine from this:

- the clear list of contents

-the ordered and neat photos

Initial Ideas

My Choice Of Genre

My choice of genre was between Classical, Bands and Orchestras and Pop Rock.

I have chosen the Genre Classical, this is due to the research I have done and found various examples. The Genre is also a good choice as the image on the cover can be easily made to be of a high quality. 

Research: Magazine Contents Page 6

This Magazine contents page is very conventional, this is due to the layout which is simple as they list the information down a side of the page, this is also conventional as the photo is the main feature and takes up the majority of the page. The photo is also used as a background as it is set in a studio and with a dark background to highlight the text, this is a conventional method as it is used a lot due, to the technology that can create backgrounds and setting is high detail.

What I would include in my magazine from this:
- I like the simplistic colour scheme
- the simple list of the contents and the large image
