Who would be the audience for your media product?

I created a profile of my target market from the previously research I completed:

Penumbra Effect - This is when you attract people outside your target audience. Although my magazine is targeted at 20-25 years old, people who are older and have been interested in mod for longer may be attracted to the magazine. They may be interested in modern generation of mod and therefore buy the magazine.
I may also get some people who wouldn't say they were a mod but are interested in niche music magazines. They may be a huge music fan that they want to check out the new music magazine that is on the market.

Evaluation - Comparing my magazine to others

Double Page Spread Inspiration

I looked at other double page spread from music magazines for inspiration. What I've learnt

• The background are mainly white or plain colours, this allows the pictures and font to be visible.
• Images of the artists are very large, it what catches the attention straight away.
• Quotes from the article are enlarged. These grab the attention of the reader. This quote must be exciting and encourage the reader to read the article.
• The text of the article is small. This allows the whole article to fit without as well as having the rest of the design features such as pictures and large headers.
