Font experiments- CA

In this class exercise i added four different types of font to this front cover. the types of font i used were 'times new roman', 'bell MT','Edwardian Script ITC' and 'Baskerville Old Face'. I used these differnet types of font to make it more interesting. The use of the ''Edwardian script ITC' contrasts with the theme of the magazine which i think gives a 'cool' look. The other fonts used (all three) were pretty similar and plain. I used these purely for imformative purposes as they inform the reader with information needed. I only added a few cover lines as more could be added if wanted. This task was purely used to experiment with different fonts.

Questionnaire Analysis

I composed six questions in a questionnaire to gather information on what ten people think a school magazine should intale. The following questions where;
-Question 1) What should a school magazine look like?
The answers i got for this question were similar for all ten. All the people i asked said that the magazine should look professional and also the topics and titles included should be relevant to school life also relevant to the actual school so it was recognisable.
-Question 2) Should there be separate magazines for each year?
Six people agreed that there should be separate magazines for each year whereas the rest agreed that the magazine should be joint and not separated into years.
-Question 3) Should each house have their own unique magazine?
Six people said that houses should have their own magazine, this would be good as it would include information for specific houses so the topics where relevant. However, the rest of the people said that houses should not have their own magazine as we should all be kept together in one.
-Question 4) What topics should be featured?
The choices i gave where; Uniform, House system, Latest news and other. Most of the ten people ticked more then one box, showing that the choices i gave were all popular showing that they believed they should all be included as thay are all important.
-Question 5) Who should be the main audience?
Three people said that the taget audience for the magazine should be parents to inform them of the goings on in school. Two people said that teachers should be the target audience and the rest agreed that students as they would benefit more.
-Question 6) Should the magazine include topics outside of school?
I gave the following choices;Sports, D of E, Masses and i gave the choice of other?
Masses at other schools came out most popular with five people agreeing. D of E and sports was the least popular with two people agreeing and one person mentioned in the other box said that global news should be included.

Music magazine distribution analysis

http://www.ipcmedia.com/

I have looked and analysed IPC Media, which is one of the biggest magazine distributors. Some of the magazines i found included on the IPC Media site were 'NME' and 'Uncut'. 'NME' is a larger, more popular weekly magazine which has a mass audience whereas 'Uncut' has a niche audience where the topics included are very specific.

Looking at the site Bauer Media, i found it was another large magazine distributor. Some magazines they include are 'Kerrang' and 'Q' which are similar to the magazine i metioned earlier 'NME' in the fact being they have a mass audience. No niche magazines are included on the site.
