Masthead, Slogan, Theme, Prices

For this task I had to ask my target audience for their feedback on their favourite slogan for my front cover. Person 1 chose "Music 4 u"and "Snap, Crackle, POP!" because they are both catchy, Person 2 and 3 also both chose "Snap, Crackle, POP!". Therefore I decided to use this slogan when first designing my front cover, however as I started to develop my front cover I did not feel like the slogan suited the magazine cover so I decided to change it to "Open for all your music desires" as this linked to my masthead which is called "Insider" and also sounds more suitable for my target audience

I also had to get feedback from my target audience on which masthead they liked the best for my front cover. I asked 3 people what their favourite masthead was and received a different answer from each of them. Person 1 chose Exclusive pop because it is catchy, whereas Person 2 chose Insider because it lets the audience know what is going to be included in the magazine. Lastly Person 3 chose Just POP! because it clearly tells the genre. As I got different answers for each masthead, I decided to choose my favourite out of those 3 which was Insider. This is because its eye-catching and makes the reader want open the magazine and see what is contained inside.

Next I asked them which price they thought was suitable for my magazine. Person 1 said between £1.50-£2.50 as it is affordable, Person 2 said £2.75 as it is not too much money and Person 3 said £2.50 or £2.75 as they are both reasonable prices. Therefore I decided to make my magazine £2.50 as it was what most of my target market thought was best and is reasonable for everyone who wants to read the magazine. 

Lastly I asked my audience for feedback on tone and theme. Person 1, 2 and 3 chose "Gossip for celebs"as they said it is most suitable for my target audience and most interesting to read. Person 2 said the tone should be informal, however I decided to make it both formal and informal so that it will attract to a wider range of ages and I will have a larger target audience.
