Audit of Magazines (all types)

What are in magazines that make them attract their target audiences?

·        Colourful fonts on pages.

·        Free items and competitions.

·        Gossip about celebrities

·        The layout of the pages.

·        The front cover.

·        Sub-headings.

·        Information about what’s in the magazine on the front cover.

·        The pictures used in the magazine.

·        The masthead – whether it is a catchy masthead or not.

·        Appropriate content – if it is a children’s magazine, it should not adult content.

·        Contents page.

·        Children’s magazine – is it authorised?

What I am looking to include in my Music Magazine:

·        Colourful.

·        Pictures in the daylight – unedited. All my pictures will be medium shot. High quality.

·        Gossip.

·        Polls about something in the music industry.

·        I will make it fun, so I can relate to my target audience and beyond.

·        The layout of my magazine will be impeccable. I will structure the pages so certain information stands out.

·        Sub-headings on the front cover to make it stand out to the reader.

·        Contents page – to show the reader what will be coming up in the magazine.

·        Long and short articles.
