Attracting an audience

 I have learnt that magazine used lots of different techniques to attract the audience to buy the magazine for example putting quotes from inside the magazine to make the audience want to buy the magazine to read further, for example eye contact to attract the audience, also using men or women in seductive poses on the front cover to attract the opposite sex. They also use bold title and writing so the magazine stands out to the buyer.They also use quotes or tribute to artist and exclusive interview or gossip so they seem better than all the other magazines. The magazine may also put free gifts included in the magazine as that would make the buying more likely to buy the magazine.

Rate card analysis

What I have learnt by reading this is that 63% of readers are male and 37% are female, the medium age rate is 25. Also 26% of readers are students. They sell 23,049 magazines a week. There are 247,000 readers. 75% read about about music online about once a week. I am surprised by how much they know about there audience as they know who they need to aim there magazine for.

I have learnt by reading the rate card is that 55% of readers are men and 45% are women. The most common reading age is 21+ of the percent 82. 75% of readers are currently in college or and any college. ^%5 of readers are employed. I am shocked they know so much detail about who reads there magazine and if they are employed or in education and what audience they need to aim there magazine for.









I think that it is good that they know so much detail about the audience as the know specifically who they are aiming the magazine at. It is important that they know there target audience to maximise profit and increase the readership number.

Magazine front cover analysis

What I've learnt from doing this is how magazine's use colour and different way to attract the audience such as eye contract to attract the audience and quote or competitions to make the audience want to buy the magazine as they have benefits from buying it. I have also learnt that they use bold title so the magazine stands out and shows that the magazine is a well established brand.

Institutional Research

 Grid of information about music magazines, I have found out that the amount of copies sold every month or however frequent a magazine is. I have also learn about the origin of the music magazines, such as NME originates from the USA and Mojo originates from UK. I also learnt that Rolling Stones circulation is 1,464,343.

Institutional Video

I have learnt that there are loads of different brands within the company such as Bauer media.

Evaluation

I think my magazine didn't go as well as it could of, as it needed more colour and was quite boring to look at it also didn't have enough information.
