Task 8

TASK 8: AUDIENCE ANALYSIS

To aid my research into the demographics and psychographics, I asked two typical Twentyfour audience members (An 18 & 19 year old, socially conscious male and female) some general questions. However these are commonly 'dig a little deeper questions', meaning they elaborate without question. For example the first member, when asked about her lifestyle she also revealed she is a small, up and coming artist. These answers provide me with general insight on the content that should be included in my magazine. With these answers and further general research into the issues of teenagers, I have compiled a list of what I will include in my magazine.

1) Mental health - Advice, stories of development and healthy coping mechanisms

2) The environment, sustainability & ethical issues - This covers fashion, animals and workers conditions, and how you can help

3) Feature articles based around the views and opinions of teenagers, these will change per issue - e.g. issue 1 is about teenagers and the pandemic, issue 2 is about POC teenagers

4) Politics - Somewhat in-depth current political issues, providing readers a brief comprehension of events such as Brexit, capitalism and socialist movements 

5) Lifestyle - A segment titled 'Am I Normal' in which teenagers can ask anonymously questions via the website about their bodies, lifestyle and surroundings and receive answers from experienced medical staff, men & women's general health, star signs and astrology and film and book reviews

6) 24teach - This covers things that you are not taught in school but are expected to know, e.g how to change a tyre, taxes, student loans, how bills work 

7) Mini news segments - Overviews and summaries of current news, at a level which everyone can comprehend and have a brief understanding of, e.g. BLM, transgender rights, coronavirus updates and worldwide news such as international elections 

Below are the demographics and psychographics of the two individuals interviewed.

  TASK 1: INDUSTRY: Research Dennis Publishing UK Brief history of Dennis Publishing UK Dennis publishing was created by publisher and entrepreneur Felix Dennis in Fitzrovia, London. Dennis identified a gap in the publishing market, computers. From this, Dennis then launched and acquired a series of computer titles, such as Hi-Fi Choice, PC Pro, and Personal Computer World magazines. This resulted in Dennis Publishing becoming the United Kingdom's leading technology publisher. In 1995, Maxim was launched. This was a title that originated from the back of a beer mat, and soon became the world's biggest, bestselling men's lifestyle magazine and global brand. Dennis acquired what is now Dennis' flagship brand 'The Week', in 1996. Soon after, the company published some of the biggest titles on the newsstand from all categories, from Mac User to Poker Player. Now, Dennis is one of the most dynamic media companies in the UK.

  TASK 3: CONVENTIONS Basic conventions Masthead – the masthead is the title block for the magazine, usually this is the most eye-catching convention on a page and has to be distinct Menu – the list of contents inside the paper By-line – name of the reporter  Caption – text underneath a image explaining it Headline - main statement, usually in the largest and boldest font, describing the main story, a banner headline spans the full width of the page Analysis of magazine covers The Week Analysis The first cover I have chosen to analyse is The Week Typically, The Week has a  humorous , caricature front cover. This grabs the attention of the audience. This is usually accompanied by a plain, or uncluttered background.   There are always 3 differing images  across  the top. Here, there is one on reality tv, politics and an international article.  Below this, there is The Week's iconic red and white logo, and underneath that to the right is one of the slogans - 'The best of British a
