Theory: Naomi Wolf - The Beauty Myth

Hi guys! In order to produce my music magazine I decided to research what techniques magazine companies use to sell their magazines. This includes the beauty myth theory by Naomi Wolf.

 



My music magazine pitch!

Hi guys! I decided to make a short audio explaining what I will do to create my upcoming music magazine and the things that you can expect from it. I also explain what my primary and secondary target audiences for my magazine will be, and how I will make the decision of what content and housestyle to use.

Music magazine article analysis

Hi guys! The last feature of a music magazine that I have analysed are two different double page articles. This will prepare me for when I create my own double page article.

 



Music magazine content analysis

Hi guys! As well as analysing front covers I also decided to analyse two contents pages so that I know what the standard layout is.

 



Music magazine cover analysis.

Hi guys! Before I could create my music magazine, I decided to analyse two different music magazine covers. This gives me an idea of what I could put on the cover on my music magazine and the type of house style I could possibly have.

 

 

NME Readership Profile

Hi guys! After already analysing the Q readership profile, I decided to also analyse the NME readership profile. This shows statistics and information that advertisers may find interesting and make them want to advertise their magazine.

 



Q Readership Profile

Hi guys! Another step that I have had to take before making my own music magazine is to research different music magazines readership profiles. The first magazine that I decided to look at was Q, and here it what I found.

 



Publishers of music magazines.

Hi guys! Before I could produce my music magazine for my media course I decided to research different publishers. This will help when producing my own magazine.

 



Music magazine questionnaire results.

Hi guys! I created my questionnaire for my music magazine which was for my target audience to give me an idea of what type of things they would like to be included in a music magazine. Now that I have my results, I have created pie charts which give me a clear view of what my target audience would like to see.

 



Market research for target audience.

Hi guys! Before I can create my music magazine I needed to do some market research for my target audience about what they would enjoy and like to see on a music magazine. This ensures that they will enjoy the product that I produce as I will work from what they have said want.
