Promotional Methods

The promotional methods was a fairly easy task to do but it took a lot of time to create the promotional photos e.g. importing my band into the side of the bus took a while to get all the proportions and dimensions right. However it will help me when talking about ways to distribute my magazine.

Survey: Analysis

Analysis of 3 Double Page Spreads

30-10-13
This is a Prezi presentation showing my 3 magazine double page spreads from Q magazine, Kerrang! and Top of the Pops magazine. Doing this analysis of the double page spreads helped me decide a lot of things when I'm doing my own magazine. There's a lot of things to consider; everything is placed there for a reason, from the position of the picture to the size of the font.

Some of the things I need to really consider are:

FONT	COLOUR	IMAGE
-colours of the font	-make a house colour scheme	-have one full bleed image at least
-postion of the font	-make them stand out	-use a couple of smaller images as well.
-the type of font	-keep in with these chosen colours/be consistent	-make them appropriate for the genre/audience
-size of the font	-make them appropriate for the genre/audience
-make sure the language is appropriate for the audience

           

MM Questionnaire

MM Survey/ Questionnaire

This is a survey I created on the site Survey Monkey, designed to collect results from anonymous participants about questions I have asked to help me create my magazine. These questions have been specifically asked to help me decide what to include and what to not include on my magazine, what is going to be effective, what isn't, whether to add freebies, etc. Some of the questions included are: "What is the best gig to view alternative rock artists?" and "Would you download an app by your favourite music magazine?" This will help me gain an insight into what the target audience really want.  

By creating this survey, I can then later analyze the results, and judging by the outcome, hope to produce a successful music magazine.
