About My Magazine
• Compute Magazine: a technology magazine focusing solely on computers.
• Core audience: People with an established interest in computing but aren’t skilled yet – 16+, typically male, varied spending power.
• Secondary audience: People who are skilled in technology and/or computing subjects. – 18+, typically male, more spending power.
What it is, the theme of the magazine and the audiences.
An example of what they’ll see
• For this pitch, I have created an example of what will be in my magazine by creating a front cover and double page spread.
A taste of what the audience will be reading.
Front Cover
• Color scheme chosen based on questionnaire given to computer enthusiasts.
• Most people who took the questionnaire chosen blue.
• Font choice based on questionnaire: REVOLUTION and Harabara had most votes from questionnaire results.
• I chose a readable font that looked similar to what was chosen from questionnaire: Raleway.
• Magazine will advertise its feature article greatly, which should catch the reader’s eye if they are into computing.
• Tagline will promote the magazine as “The UK’s go-to magazine for computer enthusiasts”.
• Feature article will be related to computing. For the first issue’s main article, the components required to build a computer will be detailed.
• People who read a computing magazine will most likely be curious about building a computer themselves.
• To keep with the in-house style of the magazine and make the magazine suit its audience, the blue colours have been kept.
Double page Spread
Advertising
• Advertisements for computer accessories and mid-end computer components will be shown.
• High-end computer components will be adverised to suit secondary audience.
What products/services my magazine will advertise to its audience.
