2. Introduction
My aim today is to convince you that
my ideas for a new
magazine fit your brief and present
the best solution for
your organizations' needs
3. Client Research
I have been commissioned by
to produce a new magazine or
newspaper product.
How having the Northern echo as
my client has affected my ideas.
• Cannot have explicit content
My product can be in any style or
genre
• no taboo language
Has to be self financed through sales
or advertising.
• The language I use in articles
must be easily understood by
all ages
Must have a target audience within 16
to 25 years old
4. Client research
I am confident my magazine fills the gap in
the market because no other fitness
magazine tackles issues from the media.
Magazine name : PULSE
Also no other magazine tries to find the
most efficient cheapest way of getting fit
without losing quality.
Taboo language : None
It is hard not to have much flesh showing in
photographs because people want to see
what they can get from doing a certain
workout so instead I have to have people
wear t-shits which can hide certain parts
that are important in a magazine of this
genre.
Language used : All ages
Target Audience : Male, 17-24
Explicit images : None
Financed by : Sales & Ads
5. Client Research
Client – Northern Echo
Wanted me to create a magazine
I have created a unique magazine for them
The target audience caused problems
Audience is unique, no other fitness magazine focused on
the north east.
6. Client Constraints
• They have local advertising
• Not many big sports brands
• Don’t make big money from advertisement
• Additional readers
• Content must suit all
• Photography must be non explicit
• So…
• My photography will be good for all ages
• No taboo language
• The topics can be good for most reader
groups
7. Client Constraints
Magazine is distributed with the Northern Echo around
the Northern Echo.
Around 40,000 copies are read.
8. Genre Research
Genre is HEALTH & FITNESS
My ideas were from my personal experiences and struggles
Research changed what I was going to write about also
because I didn’t want to have articles that have already been
done.
9. Genre Research
Men’s Health influenced my magazine as it is the biggest
fitness magazine
I looked at this magazine to see what features I should
include and what I could do differently.
10. Genre Research
I used these techniques so I could make the magazine
as unique and different as possible.
11. Audience Research
The audience is that of readers from the Northern echo that
are
Male & Female readers
Wide range of ages from as low as 20 to 60+
