I started some of my research off by looking in to three well known magazine front covers. I decided to split my research of these in to four sections: firstly the history of the magazine, secondly who the target audience was and how that was shown throughout, thirdly brief analysis of the front cover and lastly a collage of previous issues of the magazine to show if there is or is not a running trend through all the front covers.
My Research
Conclusion
From doing this research I have been able to find out who some magazines have started up and what they have gone through to become what they are now ( well known names and brands). This research will help me when I'm starting to design and create my music magazine, as it shows me briefly what type of things are placed on magazine front covers and why they are however this is something that I will look further in to, to ensure that I have a good knowledge of more magazines and how front covers change depending on genre and target audiences. Something I have learnt from this is that magazines need to stand out as when on the shelves all consumers can see is a small section therefore brighter colours and fonts should be used to stand out a to be different from competitors, this finding will enable me to
This is a great press that clearly goes through several magazines and picks up interesting facts whilst keeping focussed on how they reach their target audience.
