Audience Feedback
I asked six people;
1. Would you buy it?
Four people said no and two people said yes.
2. What genre do you think its for?
All six people correctly answered R&B
3. Do you think at £2.46 the magazine is rightly priced?
4 people said it was over priced and two said it was correctly priced.
4. Does it look good?
Three people said yes, one person said yes except the contents page and
two people said yes except the contents page.
5. Can you tell all the pages are from the same magazine?
Everyone i asked said yes.
My magazine represents the younger generation that care about music, appearance and sex. I used the age of my model to show that the magazine is aimed at the younger generation and I used the ethnicity of Farhan to represent the magazine being multicultural and not just aimed at one ethnicity. By my model wearing a hoody going over a designer baseball hat with ear phones around his neck this shows that he is the stereo typical gangster and the sort of youngster that older people may be afraid of and assume he is trouble. This aims the magazine at people that like to act out and do things they shouldn’t. The caption goes with this assumption and reads ‘Bad boy Farhan confesses all’. The class of my magazine is aimed at the middle class, it is fairly high in priced and contains a lot of gossip about celebrities which people generally aspire to be, especially the middle class.
I asked a group of people I aimed my magazine at; six middle class young adults, three girls and three boys, if they would buy the magazine. Four people said no and two people said yes. Three of the four that said no were girls this makes me think my magazine is more appealing to boys than girls even though when I created it I kept both genders in mind. I asked the six people what genre they thought it was for and they all correctly answered R&B. They said they could tell by the colour scheme of black and yellow and the image of the traditional R&B/Hip Hop looking artist on the front.
I then asked them ‘do you think that at £2.46 the magazine is overpriced?’ Four of the people I asked said that the magazine is overpriced in their opinion and two people said it is correctly priced. The magazine is more expensive than others but I made it this way because it is aimed at middle class people rather than working class who I don’t think would find as much enjoyment reading it because of the contents and advertisements. I then asked if on the whole the magazine looked good, four people said yes and two said no. The two that said no were the girls who said they wouldn’t buy the magazine and it does not interest them or appeal to them. All six interviewees agreed you could tell all pages of my magazine are from the same magazine.

The Sales of My Music Magazine
I would premote my magazine by advertising it on TV programmes such as MTV where the audience would be similar to those of who would listen to the magazine. I would have a website with links from Facebook, Twitter and other major networking sites advertising my magazine. On the online version of my magazine it would only contain previews and tasters of the main articles, so if people like what they see they will need to go buy it from a store or subscribe, it will also be an option to subscribe for 1,2 or 3 years online. On the website I will contain a link to a barcode, when this barcode is scanned an app will be on the phone, sending updates on new information and magazine disucsions.
