On The Box

The Brief

I have been commissioned by the Northern Echo to produce a new magazine. My product is from the genre of TV/Film and aimed at the 16 -25 age range.

I really looked at my audience when deciding on the style of my magazine, I tried to keep it in the genre but give it a lively twist.

The Market

I feel like I have met the brief I have made a magazine that I think will do really well and fits into a gap in the current market .

I have been unable to find a magazine that talks about, TV programs, movies and YouTubers, in detail. This is the gap I'm to fill.

Primary audience

Age: 16 - 20

Socioeconomics: B C1

Tribe: Urban, Get Paid Crew, Blingers.

Gender: Males 60 %, Females 40 %.

Educational Status: College

Genre Research

The images I have used are examples of my own photography.

From looking at the genre I find that the colours and the style really match what the page is looking at. The language and models used are mostly famous or in the public eye.

Text

These are the texts that I am planning on using, the first one is the front cover title, and the other is for my headers.

Imagery

I’m also going to make a lot of the imagery myself from my own original images.

I’m going to make my imagery very interesting and eye catching.

Text To Image Ratio

The text to image ratio will be high, in favour of images.

This is because images are more eye-catching and will draw the audience into buying the magazine.

Language

I'm going to make the language very young and hip. Using a lot of colloquial language to try and relate with my audience.

All the sentences will be short. This will keep the readers engaged and will make all the paragraphs simple to read.

Narrative voice

The narrative voice will be changing all the way through the magazine from 1st , 2nd to 3rd.

The reason I'm using al the narrative voices is because I'm planning to have interviews which normally consist of a conversation
