Designing a magazine front cover
My initial ideas are:
- Soap magazine
- Car magazine
- Wildlife or garden magazine
- Golf magazine.
I've chosen these ideas as a starting point as I want to do some research into the different topics. I also wanted to keep it broad as I want to stay away from the typical choice of a teen mag that has a target audience for my age; my reason for doing this is that my specific perceptions of certain aspects may not be appropriate for a target audience.
The different topics generally have a few magazines out already. I have researched some online:
- Soap magazines
- Car magazines
- What car, Classic car, Top Gear magazine, Auto Express
- Wildlife magazines
- National Geographic, Countryfile, Wildlife, Bird Watching, British Birds
- Golf magazines
- Golf Monthly, Bunkered, Today's Golfer, Golf World, Women and Golf
I think that possibly a car magazine is one that is one that I wouldn't do very well; because I know very little and also have little interest in the subject. My initial thoughts of doing a car magazine is because it would have a very strong front cover and look visually exciting; however, with very little knowledge of the subject, I don't think the text and language would be very strong.
OK Bethan, so you're next move should be to decide on a magazine genre and begin to analyse a range of exisitng product. Then you should carefully consider who you perceive the target audimce to be and why...
