PRELIMINARY TASK: MY MAGAZINE PROPOSAL Why?
Working title:
|
Smash
|
It’s a would with a powerful meaning behind it as well as being unusual for this genre of magazine and so will hopefully draw the attention of a passer-by
|
Genre:
|
College mag
|
Due to that being the target brief
|
Target Audience:
|
Teenagers,
|
This is the target audience because college magazines would not have information that anyone outside of this audience would be interested in.
|
Price:
|
£2
|
Due to the survey results most people stated that they would pay for a £2-2.99 college magazine
|
Convergence:
|
Combination of both an informative and social
|
This is so reader can be drawn into a society in which they are heavily informed about what’s going on as well as being socially involve and having fun.
|
Feedback from primary research will act upon
|
Primary research shows that the target audience want to know what to do for fun as well as being informed with exclusive news and interviews
|
I will act upon this and “smash” the two together and make them the main focus of the magazine
|
REPRESENTATION: Why?
Choice of model on front cover:
|
