As you can see from the presentation above, you can see that my magazine is aimed at people around my age. The specific target range I was looking for was 16-25. You can also see from the video that my magazine will be loosely based around current magazines like Q & NME. This is because the music featured within these will be similar to that featured in mine, which is another feature you can recognise from the short video.
However, one thing that kept occurring during the process of creating my magazine was, 'what is my Unique Selling Point, why would the public want to buy my magazine over the other similar ones?'. This is one feature I (regrettably) didn't seem to think about too much during the process, I wanted to focus on the style of my magazine rather than what would separate it from its competitors. However, one thing which I emphasised during the project was that I wanted a simplistic version of NME, but not as serious as Q. This is something I feel I have achieved well, enhanced by the simplistic colour scheme, and one image on the front cover (compared to NME who have 'busy' front covers). This is one feature which I feel help distinuish between the magazines. In addition to this I noticed during my research that many magazines also include various offers, in an attempt to entice the audience into buying that particular magazine, persudaing them to avoid other competitors. This is something I took onboard, and I included a special offer on my front page. It can be seen in a speical (red - matching the masthead) ribbon in thr bottom right corner of the cover, where it states that the magazine are given arway 50 free tickets for the V festival. This is something that I feel will help give my magazine the 'edge' over any other competitors in the market. This is because I feel that it is something that my target audience would be interested in, due to many music fan teenagers wanting to attend many festivals and concerts with their friends.
