Diary entry, 25th february 2010.

Over the past week I have carried out research on my style models front covers contents pages and double page spreads. I did this so that I can see how my style model does theirs to give me inspiration of how I should do my own. By researching my style models it means that I can see what existing products sell and what don’t, what features each of my style model uses and why this is so important for me to try and input into my own magazine.

Also I began my audience research, this is so that I can find out what my demographic want within my magazine, this means that my magazine will be more popular with the demographic and more people will want to purchase it as they have given their specific ideas. Question for example, ‘What artists would you most like to read about within a magazine?’ this is so that when I come to design my magazine I will be able to include bands like this.
I recorded my information using video interviews and questionnaires. I also added images of my focus groups to show an exact image of what my focus group should look like, making sure I picked the correct age group and a mainly more male biased gender.
