FORM AND GENRE
I am going to produce a magazine about cars, it is a regional magazine.
Cars and information about them.
CONTENT - M GRADE
I am making a front page a continent page also a double page spred on my found cover I am using a simple it is thin and easy to read which is typical to the genre with other magazine using simple font styles I am using a colour scheme of grey and orange this connotes the grey a mechanical theam with grey beaying the colour of metals used in cars and orange because it is bright and is a common colour for high end cars. The cover line “160mph” I used this because it makes people look and be impressed my main cover image is going to be a transihon of a car on the road and the line of the bottom of the road will changes into a side angle of the car the first shot will be a medium wide shot of the car the second shot will be the same but from the side. For the mast head I am using just a white with a black border colour which is also typical for the genre with the font being simple but with a line in the middle almost like it has been run over, the banners will be in a box with orange borders and a grey background with white text so it is clear to the reader and stands out it also fits with the colour scheme with the orange and grey it will stand out because orange is a very bright colour I will be putting a banner at the top and bottom of the magazine to make sure the reader knows some of the key things inside like the articles
Contents page
In the contents page I will feature articles about electric cars, off-roading and a debate about electric v petrol this is because they are very interesting topics for the reader with rising prices of petrol and oil running out the reader will want to know what's the future for motor veicals and the benefits and drawbacks article about off-roading will be interesting for the reader because it is not regally done with cars and some people might have interest in doing it but don’t know how to do it safely the other article will be about just one electric car to review it and focus on the adanitges and disadvantages. I will have two pictures on my content pages a front angle of a car and a back angle of a car the image will be dark with mainly the headlight and taillights visible because it makes the car look cool and more sinister
Double page spread
For the double page spread it will be a feature about off roading and what is needed and how to do it safely for the image on the doble page spred will be a big picture of a car going down a muddy hill in the woods to portray off-roading and the second smaller image in a banner will be a high angle on a dirt trail in the forest with articles about comfort speed handling and general off-road I am staying with the same orange grey colure scheme to make it match the other pages
TARGET AUDIENCE:
My target audience will be a wide range of people with interests of cars raging from the ages 17-65 and a mostly male audience the magazine will be amimed at a, b, c1 with it featuring expensive cars which are mostly out of reach of the lower social class I don’t think older than 65 will be very interested in the magazine because at that age and above less people drive and below 17 people cant drive so not as interested in the magazine
RESOURCES AND PERSONNEL
DISTRIBUTION AND MARKETING METHODS – m
I would market the magazine by putting flyers at car dealerships mechanical workshops I would also organise a car meet as a launch event which would bring in people interested in cars with all backgrounds and ethnicity's reaching a wider audience flyer will also be used at this event to make more of an impact with the magazine being the main point of the meet
