Magazine Cover First Step

-


Next Step:

Now that the survey is out of the way and I have an idea of what to place in my cover magazine, it is now time to establish exactly how I will want my front cover to be. I already know that my peers desire to see a luxury vehicle due to its more appealing features and designs, however, the exact manner by which I will portray this vehicle is completely unknown to me. There are three possible ways in which I can make my cover page using a luxury car.


Option 1: The Single Vehicle Cover

This is perhaps the vehicle magazine cover that is seen the most. It is by far the most popular and used in most car magazines. The reason for this may be due to the versatility and flexibility that is possible when displaying just one car. Possible angles and background can be more creative. Not only this, but by having only one vehicle in the cover, the image of the car may be much larger and therefore, a much more detailed view of the vehicle may be established.


Option 2: Two or More Cars Cover

Although not as popular as the first option, the two or more cars cover is still widely seen in many car magazines, especially in those that gear their attention towards race and performance cars. This cover may be very effective in attaining a reader's attention by displaying more than just one car. This makes the probability of a reader to like what they see exponentially greater. It also serves as a great comparison, and allows readers to compare the many cars there are to offer in the cover page which is something that is harder to do in a "Single Vehicle Cover"

Option 3: Car and Person Cover

This is yet another possible cover and it is the least popular of the options. Most car magazines desire to display a car and avoid any other distractions. The main focus is many times the vehicle itself and anything else proves to be an outlier. However, there are certain occasions where having an individual in the magazine cover along with the car may prove to be beneficial. This is many times done for car magazines that focus on race cars which may display the race car driver inside of the vehicle. The "Car and Person Cover" can also be seen in magazines that focus on a lot of luxury and will usually display a well-known celebrity next to the vehicle, since it will add appeal to the cover.

G reetings, my name is Juan and this is my very first blog post of many more to come! What is my Goal? The reason I created this blog is in order to log my procedures in creating my magazine for AICE Media Studies. I will be posting these blogs on a regular basis in order to accurately explain how I intend to reach my end product (the magazine cover). My blogs will cover things, such as rough drafts, ideas, possible pictures, and essentially my entire thought process in coming up with the magazine. How will this be done? Since this is AICE Media Studies, I will be going about this blog in a very specific manner with specific tasks in order to abide by the rubric. The magazine will consist of a front-page, contents, and a two-page spread. There is also the possibility that I will be working in a group of up to 4 people. If I am to work in a group, each member of the team will be assigned a specific portion or job, all of which will be discussed in more depth later on.

Target Market Research

Target Market: A very important aspect to consider next in my magazine is the demographics. In other words, what is my target audience or the people that will be reading this. This is extremely important because I must make the magazine with the intention of appealing to my target demographic. So if I were to make a magazine on cooking, my target audience will be depending on the content of my magazine. If I were to be doing the magazine on homemade recipes, I would most likely be targeting mothers and fathers, or even those who like to cook at home. The same goes for automotive and fitness magazines. I will have to establish my target audience in order to best meet their needs. These are some examples: These are just 3 examples of how my deduction should be. When I create my magazine I must do a similar idea to this in order to understand my target audience. This, in turn, would help me sell the magazine accordingly. This is because the target audience is one of the most

My Samples: After I have analyzed and viewed the different options for a possible automobile magazine cover, it is now time to incorporate what I have learned about the images and take my own photographs. I want to get a feel for the process of taking these pictures and I would like to see which type of magazine cover I will be most comfortable with. The whole point of this project is to create the most successful magazine I possibly can, so that means I have to try many different options and see which I am best at.
