Conclusion and further research
In conclusion to my findings my magazine will be based on teens due to my survey being more targeted towards a lot more of the teenage audience, which may start from the age 14+. In addition a lot of more of my targeted audience were females therefore My magazine will be based on a more stereo-typical female representation including fancy fonts and colors and model and fashion icon pictures engaging the audience in as they may aspire to either look or be like the model I choose to use. Sections that my target audience are mainly interested in is gossip which I will be focusing on as a key feature in my magazine as well as beauty and fashion which also was a potential factor liked a lot by my targeted audience therefore will also be a key feature in my magazine. The type of music genre my audience is interested in is mainly R&B and Pop which I will be making also a key feature in my magazine as this is a specific genre that seems to be the most popular. The last resource information I have found out is the pricing of the magazines giving me estimate of the pricing that I would charge for my magazine, my survey resorted in the most popular being 1.50-3.00 which is a reasonable and affordable price especially for teens therefore I may charge my magazine along those prices.
Further research
Language
I have been doing some further research into magazines and found out further knowledge of how magazines are presented in ways to fit a target audience. The language type that I have found out is in particularly kept quite basic therefore not too informal or formal however some extensive vocabulary can be used throughout the magazine to make it effective, as most magazines need to have an older type style to them if wanting look and sound professional. Sentences/words such as "You can look fabulous" "together" "we" "us" "you" suggests to the audience that they are being addressed and have some sort of involvement in the magazine. This automatically will influence the reader to carry on reading. In addition in Qua's that I have found a lot of them ask questions, such as rhetorical ones or open questions that requires you to think. This will give the reader something to think about when reader the magazine which is always a good impression as then enables you to take something away from a magazine once reading it. Therefore I will be using these language technique in my final magazine piece as I find them interesting and putting myself in a readers position I would find interesting and would want to be able to feel engaged with the sort of language used in the magazine.
Software and image shots
I have also found out the different ways of shots you can do to portray an image in a particular way for instance extreme close ups, head shots, medium shots, long shots and two shots can all communicate different things. The reason of making sure you pick a specific shot can convey a meaning and for my front cover shot I will be using a close up shot for my music magazine cover. This will benefit my front cover as from recent research gathered suggested to me the more you see of the artist the more it will grab you instantly I will make sure I use an editing software such as Photoshop and fireworks into creating my image so that it is detailed and The image stands out to the best it can to attract the audience.
Contents page
In My Contents Page research, most magazine use a different range of images consisting in small images to large images suggesting the importance and relevance of each one, this has inspired me to make one or two images bigger than the rest drawing attention to the mains story.
Double page spread
In relation to my double page spread layout I have noticed that various magazine use one full image which is used for the whole proportion of the page. And then alongside that the main header s then used on the next page in bold at the top giving the reader an immediate reference to where the main story begins. Due to my audience type being younger I am going to add smaller text boxes and images rather than a long amount of writing so that I can keep my audience interested in my magazine so that they become engaged in my magazine. Whereas If I only added a large amount of text this may distract the reader from reading this due to being put off on the amount of text there is to read. Therefore a variety of fonts, style, sizes and layout needs to vary in a way where it will grab the audience as well as looking exciting to read.
