Magazine Research 05/11/09 (A-Level Media Studies Related)


During this lesson, we took an inlook into the ideal target audience for various magazines, ours being "Evo" magazine, situated towards the lavish industry of cars. Looking at various pages of the magazine, we took note of the rich yet mature nature of fonts and the use of colours (primarlily blacks and golds). This ideally to us communicated the expensive lifestyle one undertakes when purchasing such a luxious item, and overall puts into perspective the apparent target audience.

After analysing a number of pages, we from here began answering questions concerning the personality and lifestyle of the target audience. What car did they drive? How old are they? What do they eat for breakfast? All of these questions, however seemingly irrelvent, allowed us to think logically concerning the slightest detail being fonts, colours or sizes. We ideally were picking out and neccarily sterotyping target audiences in order to develop an understanding upon what we would finally decide to feature in our magazines.
In this front cover (featured), an evidently slick and contempory visual pallate conforms what would be pivotal to attact a putentual consumer. This is so significant due to the fact that such a conformation of colors (black to silver to white gradient) is in most terms attractive to the naked eye. A buyer is evidently likely to be turned off by a magazine which uses un-concompletary colors schemes and images, meaning that every detail and every pixel bears the highest priority when constructing a magazine; whether it be a front cover, contents page or double page spread.
