Response Analysis

Through my responses I have learned a lot through them.

• To start off my first question it showed me that most people have read or seen a sports magazine which is a plus for me since that is the genre I am doing. 
• In the second question I learned that in my magazine I will be using more images and less words because that attracts the eye more. 
• The level of sport that I will be focusing on is high school. I agree with that as well since students want to know what is happening in the sports of their school so that they can go out and support.
• The response for the sport I should do is baseball. So the magazine I will be doing is on the sport baseball.
• In the magazine I will add statistics of the team and their standings so that the students may see what their team that represents the school is doing.

These responses will help me shape my magazine and my next task is to find a name of the magazine my team and I will come up with.

Market Research Questions

In this post I will be focusing on the questions I will be placing on the survey.

Questions:

1. Have you ever read a sports magazine?
2. What attracts your eye in a Magazine, the content or images?
3. What level of sport should the magazine focus on? High School, College, or Professional?
4. What sport should the magazine be on? Baseball, Soccer, or Football?
5. Would you want to see statistics of the featured player or team that the magazine displays?

Market Research

To gain a better understanding of the audience I will be making the magazine for, I decided to conduct a survey to my classmates and use their responses to help me have a better understanding on how to create the magazine. I will be able to see what they look for in the magazine and why would they even look into a magazine.
Their responses will also let me know the color scheme I will be using for the magazine and what level of sport I should use while writing the main article.

In my next post I will be posting the questions that I will be placing on the surveys.

Double page spread Idea

Through the research done in my last post, I have chosen that the best fit for my magazine will be the page that has the image on the left page and on the right page have the content.

An example is:

Double page spread layout research

In this post I will identify all the different possible layouts when writing the main article that is placed on a double page. The layouts differ on the amounts of content needed to place in those pages and the size of the image that it needs to be placed.

The different layouts are:

• Their may be an image on the left side of the paper and content on the right paper.
• The image is placed on the top of the left page and the rest of that page and the other one is full of content.
• The image can be faded and cover both pages and the content is placed over it. 
• The pages can have content and just a big title.
• With a lot of content there can be a small image so that the content may fit.

These layouts are a few of many but these are the ones that I found in my research and I believe that I will choose one of these.

Double Page Spread Research

A double page spread is in the center of the newspaper and is usually given to the main article. It talks about the person on the cover or has some relevance to the cover. The double page spread may have a small picture on the left side so that there is more space for content. The other layout is to have the image on the left side of the page and content on the right.

In the rest of this post I will mention some conventions of the double page spread.

• Headline: a quote from the artist received through an interview.
• Image: Can be on one page pr go across and take up some space of both pages.
• Color Scheme: Usually the same as the cover of the magazine.
• Informal language: used to engage the reader.
• Pull quotes: Placed in the center of the writing in bold with space in between the other texts to show importance.
