Pitch of my magazine

From the research I carried out on existing magazines similar to the one I am going to produce, I have found out that they all tend to use the color scheme of black, red and white which gives a bold look, as it is so often used for similar genres of existing magazine it suggests that it will be easily recognized. They have Sans Serif fonts throughout the whole of the magazine, which makes it easy to read, this also suits the target audience, as having Serif fonts would give the magazine more of a feminine look. Many similar existing magazines have the cluttered layout, which suggests to the reader that there will be a lot within the magazine to read. They all used an informal mode of address as it is aimed for a younger reader. Kickers, pull quotes and stand first is always used for the front cover or within the contents page and double page spread, this will give the magazine a consistent look throughout the whole of the magazine. Columns are usually used within the contents page to organize the list of pages.

The target audience are teenage to young adult males as they were the target group from my questionnaire who buys magazines the most, as the most preferred genre of music was rock, I decided to choose that genre. I am going to have a female solo artist on the front cover, as it was most preferred for a male target audience. Nearly all of the who completed my questionnaire said that they would prefer an informal mode of address, as this mode of address is very popular and common with successful existing magazines, I have also chose to do this. Most of the people who completed my questionnaire have said that the thing that attracts them to the magazine the most is celebrity interviews, news and gossip, so I have drafted the text of my double page spread considering the results of the questionnaire.
