Analysis of profesional magazine front covers

In today's lesson, we looked at examples of professional magazine front cover and i have established the codes and conventions of the magazine.

Inital Plans for my magazine

For my initial plans of my magazine, i have made the following decisions about my magazine:

Price:
For my Indie music magazine, i have made the decision to price my magazine at £3.99. This is because from looking at professional magazines they have all priced their magazines at around 33.99 and so i thought that it would be a suitable price for my magazine.

Frequency of Publication;
i think that a suitable frequency of publication is going to be monthly, this is suitable as from my magazines that i have researched they have been published monthly and so i thought that it would be suitable.

Average Issue Size:
The average issue size for my music magazine is going to be 100 pages.

Regular Content:
Regular content for my music magazine is going to be things such as: A gig guide, whats hot this month, competitions, new music this month, reviews.

Feature Articles:
Feature Articles within my magazine is going to be focusing on the main person that is on the front cover of my magazine. It is going to an interview with the main artist.

Researching the Market Place

Today, i researched 3 different indie magazines to look at competitors and to see what they do so it may influence what i do with my magazine

Inital Ideas

My initial ideas are to produce an Indie magazine with the target audience of people who are interested in the indie genre and enjoy the music and style. An example of an audience member, would be an 18 year old male or female who enjoys bands such as Blossoms, The Wombats, Jake Bugg, Arctic Monkeys, MGMT, Bastille, Sundara Karma... Also they would enjoy finding new music all the time and go to gigs, the perfect example of an audience would be someone who looks at reviews of gigs and music albums also, and they may play an instrument and dress in a indie way, wearing things such as denim jackets and skirts. Also my magazine will be made suitable for both genders and i will make it gender neutural so that i can attract a wider audience and that more people will want to purchase my music magazine
