Mood board for The Sun readers
Mock cover for a free magazine for The Sun
This is what I think a cover would look like for a weekly magazine in The Sun. I have made the titles big and bold so attract the reader's attention. The class of people who would read are the C2/D/E class. The magazine would be aimed at people between the age of 16-35.
I have included pictures of celebrities to make the magazine stand out and more relatable. By adding a website the reader can get more information and look up more stories. I wanted to use purple because it stands out. I think a magazine for The Sun should be in this format because it is eye catching and it invites the reader to look inside.

Mood board for The Times readersThese are a few pictures of what people who read The Times are interested in.
Mock front cover of a magazine free in The Times
I researching a few elements that The Times 2 magazine includes, This helped me to work out what the audience for The Time likes to read about. some topics included fashion, art, health and food. I wanted to used some of these elements to match the audience. By adding 'Free' on the front, people will take more interest reading it. I have also added a pug that advertises a competition, this may entice the reader's interest. Both magazines are for weekly circulation because it is the more popular than monthly or yearly magazines. The blue background is calming and the writing write because it is a neutral colour. This is how I think a magazine for the times should be laid out because it is informative and it is laid out in an orderly way.
Esther Your Sun and Times classifications are too broad, you cover most of the demographic with that classification try looking at the amount of AB and C2,D, E readers there are for each and you will see that they are very different.
ReplyDeleteWatch out for over genralisations like "This audience is the working class and they read it because they can absorb the information at a glance, whilst multi-tasking" or " People who are 65+ would read The Sun because it has big font and it is straight to the point." It is in fact true that the Times appeals to a 65+ audience too??
In other instances you make good judgments on the data for example "They like more traditional meaning of accessing the news" or "People who read The Times are likely to be commuters, they would read the paper on the train or the bus"
This is a good Pass however you are making some common errors by assuming the examples tell us something rather than applying analysis of it and the data needs to be corrected.
