As my final piece of market research I went to a local shop and took a picture of the area in which the magazines are displayed:
From this I noticed that the magazines all consist of a main image of a model ands this is a feature which makes all of the front covers stand out. For example the top row 'Elle' magaizne as well as the 'good food' magazine stands out as the main image is large and eye catching. The colours on the front cover also do not blend in with the other colours surrounding the main image which also helps make the image stand out more.
Another feature that stands out to me from these magazines is the price. The cheeper magazines displayed large graphics which included the prices for example the 'whats on Tv' magazine' has a £1 on it. This grabs the attention of the reader because it is in a star which is filled in a bright colour as well as beign a cheap magazine.
I found that there were not many music magazines instead there were different genres of magazines for example food, TV, sport and gossip.
I aim to use the conventions present in these magazines for example the colour schemes, the font style as well as the way they are positioned, to influence my production work.
