Evaluation of Research and Planning.

From looking at different types of music magazines from the internet and also from what shops are actually selling I have realised that there are many different music magazines which have been made for different target audiences.

All of the magazines have similarities for example, having front cover page and contents themes which run throughout using the same colour themes and also the stories. Although I found these similarities, there are many different comparisons that can be made which are all very clear. For example, looking at magazines made for the younger generation use different brightly coloured themes to attract the visual eye so that the consumer picks up the magazine and thinks to themselves that it looks fun and interestting to read whereas, the music magazines that have been made for the older generation have thought about using pictures that tell the story and make you think not just by using brightly coloured themes and also the writing is much more formal which an adult would be more inclined to read because they would think that it is more suitable for themselves.

From researching I can now conclude that I will be making a magazine for the younger generation such as 'Top of the Pops' music magazine because it seemed to have much more of a fun factor than the other magazines I analysed, the magazine still uses the same text but I feel that because these magazines are made for people who are younger than my generation age, I would be able to create one by using knowledge that I already have as I was once the age that the magazines were consumed for and therefore would know more about teenage dramas and issues whereas making a music magazine for an older adult I would not know and would have to find out more. I also have more knowledge on the type of music magazine for example, the pop music is very common and I listen to it regularly whereas I would not see myself listening to classical music.

    You have completed some sound research into music magazines, analysing a range of different magazines, and summarising your findings.

    To improve further make sure you discuss the effect of layout, font, colour, image, and language for each page you analyse.
