Location, Props, Models
Location
My photoshoot is going to be in a studio environment, as I think this will give the images in my magazine an altogether more professional appearance, and will bring focus to the model instead of the background.
Props
The only props in my photoshoot will be clothing, as I want the emphasis to be on the fashion aspect of my magazine. The model will be wearing a vintage jumper to connote the individual, stylistic aspect of the magazine, and it will also make her more relatable to the target audience.
Models
I will only being using one model throughout the entire magazine, as it will cement her importance as the the subject of the main article. She's also in the demographics of my target audience, which will attract them to my magazine.
Survey Results Analysis
I conducted a survey to help me establish what my target audience are looking for in a magazine. The majority of the people I asked were females aged 16-20, which is my main target audience, and therefore means that the results of this survey are key in what will be most effective for my magazine.
50% of the people I asked said that they never bought music magazines, while 20% said that they buy them monthly, connoting that a weekly or fort-nightly magazine wouldn't be bought regularly.
More than half (51.1%) of the people I asked said that they would spend £2.00 on a music magazine, so my magazine will be a monthly magazine that costs £2 to read, as this is what the majority of my target audience will be willing to pay.
When asked about what 3 colours would attract them to a magazine cover, the majority picked red, white and black, which is the colour scheme of music magazines such as Q and NME, which my magazine is going to be based on, so these colours would be most effective throughout my magazine as a house style.
91.11% said that they do listen to indie music, and the most popular genres and decades are indie rock and the 1990s, which I will take into account when creating my cover lines and contents page.
When asked which cover attracted them most, the majority of the people I asked either said Q or NME, which featured an overall colour scheme of red, white and black, and a mid-shot of a band or singer. I will replicate this style of cover for my own magazine, as they've proven to be the most eye-catching.
Finally, I asked what else they would like to see in the magazine. 70.45% said that they would like to see film reviews, however I'm going to challenge this and instead have fashion. I'm doing this because I want my magazine to mostly appeal to teenage females of an upper class, and fashion is a very effective way to do this.
