Price and Publication
The price and publication of my magazine will depend on my target audiences price range and how often the magaizne would be published. The price of the magazine would be significantly higher if the target adience was aimed to the older generation and are of a higher social status, on the other hand he price would be lower if the magazine was aimed to the younger generation such as teeneager because they are futher down the social status ladder and would not be able to afford an expensive magazine. Also the publication of the magazine would depend on the genre of the magazine and the context it would initally include. So I Have looked at some exsisting magazines and reserached their price and publication.
Billboard Magazine
Publication - Weekly
Price - Subscription $24.99 per month and £5.50 per issue in the UK
Audience - Both male and female and aged late teens and 20's.
The reason for the steep price is that because it is imported from the US and it's quality features, also the target audience is aimed at the younger generation because of the context of the magazine and that it includes popular music news, videos, charts and modern artists in the top 40 chart.
Kerrang Magazine
Publication - Weekly
Price - £2.20
Audience - Both male and female, however predominately male. The age range is 16-24 into heavy rock.
As the magazine is published once a week and is aimed at a younger audience it can not be to expensive. It is evident that it is aimed at a younger generation through the use of graphics, fonts, layouts and presentation.Kerrang! aims itself more at a male audience and appeals to them by using content such as hard rock and metal iconic male bands on the front
cover pulling angry faces or violent expressions.
The target audience of tops of the pops magazine are young girls/ pre teens who are interested in fashion, gossip and pop music. The price can not be to steep because of the target audience as they would not be able to afford the magazine.
