Price of my magazine

After getting my questionnaires back and looking over them it was apparent that people would pay around £2 - £3 there were few who chose the option above this so therefore I can not put my magazine price higher than £3 as people will not buy it. most of the magazines that already exist are around this price category, such as kerrang which is £2.10. I have decided that I will price my magazine as £2.50 as it is in between this price group. I want to gain a profit however I would like to make sure that my target market is able to buy it.

Genre of my magazine

I have decided that the genre of my magazine will be a rock magazine. This was determined from the questionnaires that I handed out to people. The most popular choice was rock. I will have to show this genre when creating this magazine, so I will research what is needed for my magazine to be of a rock genre.

A few ideas put into action

 The first picture is the main image I took that I will then manipulate into my front cover. As you can then see, in the second image I took out the screen so I can put my front cover in it. I then further went onto put my logo in to see how it looked. This can be moved later if needed. These are all drawn to scale.

This is the image that I will be using so that I can get an accurate scale of the ipad its self.

NEW IDEA

I have decided that the shape of my magazine is going to be the shape of an ipad. This shape will be the border of the ipad with my front page on the place where the screen would be. I will be selling only the front cover in shops and you will be able to buy this front cover with a QR code which will enable buyers to scan the code with their smart phone and get the website where my magazine will be presented. This allows me to not only keep up the growing trends of technology but to help commit to being environmentally friendly rather than wasting paper that magazines are printed on. with this idea I will have to research to find out if people would like this product and if they were willing to buy this magazine. I will survey and ask people and I will present this research on here.

Continued shape of my main task magazine

I have been thinking about the shape of my magazine and I have decided that one of the shapes that I could produce is the "ipod" shape. It is a well regonised shape throughout all ages and has potential to strike my market audience and portray a new look on magazines. If I am going to produce this shape I feel that I should keep it to the real life size of an ipod or round about that size. Although, this may cause it to be lost in the shelves of other well known magazines.
