A Synopsis of my idea
- My magazine is full of real life stories, sport and competitions to win technology prizes as it attracts the demographic of 16-25 year olds.
- The magazine is for the readers so they tell us what they are interested in, this allows us to respond with stories that they like which brings the brand and the readers closer.
- We aim to have a strong reader loyalty in order to keep replenishing interesting stories towards our consistent readers.
What representations am I going to construct?
- I aim construct representations of people of the ages 16 years old to 24 year olds
- I also aim to construct representations of working class and upper class people
- I am aiming to appeal to a target audience of 16 to 25 years olds 9as the brief says) as they will want to know the latest news on topics they will be interested in, for example: sport stories and stories linking to their social group.
How am I going to appeal to a target audience?
- I am going to appeal to my target audience (as the brief says 16-25 years old) by getting feedback from them in order to construct and create stories that would be interesting for them to read, this gains an aspect of customer feedback.
- Another way I am going to appeal to my target audience is by offering chances to win prizes, for example new technology, in order to entice them into interacting with the media product.
- Another way I am going to appeal to my target audience is by showing stories that they would be interested in.
Initial name of my magazine, why have I chosen it?
- I have chosen the name 'Vision' because I feel as if it gives the readers/consumers a clear and detailed view of stories and articles that they will be attracted to and will read.
Masthead Designs
- I have chosen three different styles of typography for my masthead/logo because I feel as if they represent the image and brand name I am trying to put across.
Flat plan or mock designs of the first two editions
- So far I have roughly put together the edition 1 front cover. A you can see, I am aiming to create a vibrant masthead in order to stand out for the rest of the page.
- The red and yellow colours work really well against each other to allow them to stand out. I aim to have 3/4 stories/articles in order to give the consumer an overall picture in what the magazine ' Vision' is about.
- These boxes down the side of the page will have images to do with new, hot off of the press stories that appeal to the demographic (as the brief says age 16-25 years old).
- Then, in smaller boxes next to the images relating to the articles, their will be a brief summary of the story happening within that image to give the reader an insight or a teaser in order to get them to buy the magazine and red on.
- This first edition of the magazine will appeal to more of a middle class audience aged 16-25.
- The second edition of the magazine will almost have the same layout and design.
- However, the articles will be different as in this edition is to appeal to working class people of ages 16-25.
- So this will include, different stories, different images etc.
Articles
- Some ideas of articles that I want to produce within the magazine are: Sports and Real-life stories (obviously they'll all in some way relate to the specific representations I am trying to represent within the cover lines and images)
- I am going to have 2-4 images on the front cover including one main image which will represent the main story which will show at least one representations
- I will have a short teasing cover line as the rest of the articles/stories will be within the magazine making the reader buy the magazine and read on.
Photoshoot plans
- I am planning to have two photoshoots for two different magazine front covers.
- One photoshoot will be of a women dressed in working class clothing in a 'working class' background to emphasise the representations I am trying to show.
- Whereas the second photoshoot will be on a male dressed in middle class clothing in a wealthy area in the background again to emphasise the representations I am trying to show.
