My Magazine

Written Text from Audio

Page Number - Around 50 pages. The reason I chose to use this number of pages is because it is positioned between the two magazines which I have researched upon which have the same occurrence. This ensures that the reader is not discouraged by the amount of pages which may make it seem like a difficult magazine to read due to it being so thick but also seem as though it is worth the money which they are paying for it, in addition to there being a similar number of pages as magazines which they are used to, ensuring that it does not seem peculiar.

Reoccurrence - Weekly. I chose this because it allows features to stand out, with each article seeming more important due to there being less among them. In addition, it allows many of the features to be displayed on the front page, allowing the reader to recognise what is in the article.

Price - £2.99 - This is a price which is relevant as the magazine will be issued weekly, in addition to this price being between the two prices of weekly magazines which were researched. This does not discourage purchase as it is not significantly more expensive than other magazines in addition to the price not being unrealistic. It is also not significantly cheaper in order to avoid implying a lesser quality.

Barcode Positioning - Bottom right. This encourages a sense of familiarity to a possible buyer who is accustomed to purchasing magazines including and similar to the ones show above. This allows the reader to not be put off of this magazine by the unfamiliar format.
