Audience Research video 2

 

This person when questionnaired, said that for a recent music magazine they would pay £2.00-£2.50. The price is of a high end magazine which is where I aim for mine to be, so this person would be part of my target audience price wise. But the price may possibly have to be raised if I decide to have freebes included or if it's a special edition.

They prefer the simplistic front cover which would show clearly what is included and wouldn't be over crowded with either images or text. I do want mine to be easily seen but I don't want it looking sparse or bare.

One main image on the front, which this person likes, as opposed to several, would link with the simplistic look. I will include one main image but I will probably have a couple of different advertisements or previews of feature stories on it too, to make it look more professional.

For this person, again the artist would be the main appeal but it would also be the interesting stories advertised that could catch someone's eye.

The blocky look would be neat and simple, looking quite minimalistic. I will make my contents page look very neat but it won't be too uniform that it looks unrealistic, I'd like it to look as professtional as I could.

On the contents page I will also include image with page numbers in the corners and text with page numbers this will add variety and professionalism. This person likes both in her ideal magazine.

Audience Research video 1

This member of the public would pay £1.50-£2.00 for a recent charts music magazine, which would be a low budget, poor quality one. I am aiming to make my magazine seem more high end therefore will increase the price to more than this.

They like to see a magazine with lots going on, on the front cover, this would involve a lot of features and stories, which I do aim to include and I will have some references to them on the front page but not for it to look too busy that it would look messy and unprofessional. They have said they like to see several images on the front so i will include maybe one or two that relates to one of the feature stories.

The artist on the front would always be the main attraction and this person says that the artist is what is one of the main things that persuades them to buy the magazine. From this my predominant image will be of the well known artist I choose to do. The features mentioned on the front will need to be interesting stories, so I will find some recent big stories of artists or festivals.

This person prefers the image dominated look when asked what is prefered on a contents page. I will have images on my own, possibly 3 smaller ones with one main image, then the text on one side.

The text will need to be clear and stand out in it's own right as this person prefers to tell the stories form the text not from the images.
