Reflection on research into products
and audience

Front Cover Inspiration
I like how the mast head looks as if its
targeting a mass market, sophisticated
audience. I also like the clean white
background against the red which is
quite a bold statement. I have learnt
from this front cover that for a mass
market magazine, it needs to be very
precise and look immaculate. I will
probably take inspiration from this front
cover and I like this type of image even
though it isn’t as strong as it should be.
This magazine could appeal to any
music lover as it shows a new artist
that can be loved by both young and
old, who are into any type of music
genre.

Front Cover Inspiration
This front cover seems to be targeted
at the mass market however ‘V
Magazine’ is actually quite a niche
brand. I like how this magazine seems
to be a mass market magazine, this
shows that it is made very well and
has good editors. I have learnt from
this magazine that if sometimes it can
be more effective with less information
than if it is squashed together. I like
how this cover can appeal to hip hop
fans even though it doesn’t follow a
stereotypical trend. I may take
inspiration from ‘V’ because I like how
big the mast head is and how
everything fits around it. I also like the
simplicity because it creates a sense
of surprise.

Front Cover Inspiration
The use of bright bold colours
represents the stereotypical view of
the hip hop genre. This magazine
appeals to a young audience who
enjoy listening to new, up and coming
music. I have learnt from this cover
that a canted angle can really make a
magazine cover more interesting and
that plugs do not all have to be in
straight lines. I think these elements
give this front cover an edgy look.
Using an artist as big as Lil Wayne
shows that this is quite a mass market
magazine, which shows that even the
best magazines can break the rules.
Inspiration may be taken from the
canted central image as I think it
creates a new level for music
magazines in this genre.

Front Cover Inspiration
The front covers I have taken inspiration from all have very different views
on how to appeal to a specific genre of music. ‘Q’ magazine is a very
mature, classy magazine whereas ‘XXL’ is much more urban and stylish.
‘V’ magazine seems to be on a different level, it doesn't have a tonne of
information to take in, nor does it have a strong central image, but working
with a mast head from top to bottom allows the front cover to be free of lots
of information. I want to combine all three front covers to make my own,
however as I have to focus on only one genre of music, I think I will
combine both ‘XXL’ and ‘V’ to create a very edgy, unique magazine cover.

Contents Inspiration
This contents magazine follows
conventions well. I could take
inspiration from the way that ‘Billboard’
sections the information. I like how this
is done as it creates a more interesting
contents page rather than all the same
background colour which may get
boring. I also like how they have a
‘No1’ section as this really reflects a
music magazine. Using this in my
contents page could be a good idea
because it would really emphasise the
genre of the magazine.

Contents Inspiration
Honestly, I don’t really like this
contents page as a whole, however
there are some elements that I really
like. The mast head, I think is really
effective as it looks very classy. I also
like the stripe down the left side which
follows the colour scheme from the
front cover. I think this is important as it
shows continuity and looks more
professional. I don’t plan on using
elements like overlaying photo’s.

Contents Inspiration
I love every aspect of this contents
magazine. It reflects a much more hip
music genre, while also using
sophisticated fonts and pictures. I think
most of my inspiration for my contents
page will come from this as I really
love everything about it. I have learnt
from this page that it is important to fit
in all of the information while making it
look good.

Contents Inspiration
These aspects of certain contents
pages have given me a lot of
inspiration for my own. Unfortunately I
don’t think I will be able to use all of
these aspects on my actual page.
Maybe drawing up a few ideas will
help me to decide which parts I will
include.

Double Spread Inspiration
I like all the aspects of this double spread page because it works
really well with the music genre and what Nick Minaj represents. If I
was taking inspiration from these pages it would be from the picture
and the mast head. This is because I like how she is standing,
which makes it a strong image and I also like the fonts used for the
mast head. I maybe wouldn’t use as much writing on my pages as I
think this distracts from the opening page.
![Page 11: Reflection on research into products and audience](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060123/5596b3ae1a28ab92028b46ea/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Double Spread Inspiration
The bright colours on this spread look really good as it attracts a lot
of attention. However I am aiming towards a more hip-hop/rap
genre for my magazine so this style may not be good for my double
page spread, this obviously depends on the type of person I am
interviewing or what type of image I am trying to achieve
![Page 12: Reflection on research into products and audience](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060123/5596b3ae1a28ab92028b46ea/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Double Spread Inspiration
I like how this is quite simplistic, however it doesn’t really attract
much attention. I like the use of boxes to separate certain
information and might take inspiration from this. I also like the bold
coloured headings as I think this makes the question stand out and
split up the page.
![Page 13: Reflection on research into products and audience](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060123/5596b3ae1a28ab92028b46ea/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Double Spread Inspiration
I like the idea of taking inspiration from all
three of my favourite double page
spreads. I want to try and include all of
these aspects in my magazine because I
think they could work well for any genre of
music. Bold pictures that seperate pages,
and big headings that draw the eye are
important for a magazine double spread.
