-Questionnaire

I carried out a questionnaire, asking college students about a college magazine that could be created for student use. I discovered that 95% of college students currently do not read the college magazine. This shows a problem as the magazine as a product is not delivering for it's target audience - students. I then asked what and if other features would encourage students to read the college magazine. 90% of students questioned, answered yes, if there were features such as, news, events, information about college, jobs, sport, fashion and xbox releases. Appealing features of a magazine include a bright and colourful appearence and free stuff, such as, vouchers, posters, and stickers etc. As students answered 70% of students are only willing to pay up to an estimated 50p for a college magazine - this shows at a lower price you would probably attract the target audience. 80% of people wouldn't subscribe to the college magazine. However, most students suggest that it is brought put and produced monthly. This may be beacause students have less money, when usual in college, opposed to working adults.

- front cover analysis.

BILLBOARD.

The title used, is colourful and bold. The stereotypes for the colours are mostly boys. However the magazine is aimed towards girls. The model used to someone that the target audience will recognize, someone who makes a good role model. The subtitles used, are plain and only use two colours, in this example, yellow and white. Yellow, is also used as the main object in this example, the ‘M’.  The object ‘M’ has been painted yellow, gold. This is to make the magazine look plain and simple. The subtitle ‘MILEY CYRUS’, is a massive example towards the audience. The reason for this is because the quotation ‘The Queen Of Tween Grows Up. But Will Her Fans Follow?’ this quotation is really describing what the target audience is, for example, younger teenage girls. The background colour on this example music magazine is purple. I believe that the colour purple is a warm welcome colour, and makes you feel relaxed. The model is the magazine is wearing just black. That is showing the audience not to take much notice of her clothing, and to read the magazine itself.                                            
                                                     VIBE.                                                              

The colours used, are pink and black. The stereotypes for these colours are for females. However the magazine ‘VIBE’ is mostly aimed towards male. The model used in this example is ‘LIL WAYNE’. Lil Wayne is a famous artist to grab teenager’s attention. So I believe that this model has been placed on this front cover to show that the target audience is teenagers and young adults. The title is very black and bold. The subtitles are also bold, and also black. The two colours are pink and black on the whole cover. The subheading ‘LIL WAYNE’ is written capital letters and also in pink. This is to grab people’s attention. The model in this magazine is also dressed in pink. This is to make the magazine look plain and contrasting. The target audience for this magazine is also aimed towards the lower life generation. The generation which have poor jobs and not enough income. The reason for this is because Lil Wayne’s stereotype is to dress in hoodies and wearing big gold necklaces. In contrast to this people who wear hoodies and big necklaces, usually have the stereotype of a low income person.
