The Food Magazines

Food Network Magazine
Codes & Conventions 

Looking at the Food Network magazine, you can see straight away the Main image that dominates three quaters of the front cover. This would catch the consumers eye, because they would see this peice of food and then would think "That looks really nice, I think if I take a look I can probably find a nice meal to cook". The masthead and logo is smaller than the main image, this shows that they wat the peice off food to be the most eye catching thing on their front cover. The coverlines also say appealing things about food, this would also draw in

As seen before in the last magazine, the Main image is taking up most of the front cover, but the masthead is also taking up quite a large space at the top of the magazine. Its the same with the Subtitle under the Masthead. This is a disadvantage because it is making the taglines smaller, and would be harder to read. But there are some other smaller images at the bottom and there is a celebrity at the bottom right corner. This magazine hasn't really figured out what will be effective on the market to appeal to the audience.

Magazine Research

Looking at the magazines of the Food Network, they like to have their large central images dominate the front cover. This is a good thing because consumers would see the food product and would be interested in cooking that sort of dish. Not only that, they include 3 pictures of celebrity cooks on top of the magazine, this would promote the magazine because it would show that the chefs have cooked this dish. As a connotation. They also put eye catching taglines as well. And put encouraging words next to them like easy and Deviled. To make them sound like creative foods.

5 Things my data told me about my audience

1. More males watch action movies than females. So I could appeal to the audience by including more articles and themes that would attract the female gender into reading my magazine

2.  Not many people plan on seeing action movies. I could use this to appeal to the audience by including new teasers and upcoming movies to entice the reader into planning to see the shown movie.

3. Loads of males answered my questionnaire. This would help me because it shows me that I would have to include more male things that would keep males from reading my article. And said before, I would have to include more female items as well, so it would increase the viewing audience range of the article

4. There was a mixed range of people who had action movies on DVD but more people had loads of them. This helps me because it tells me that I should not put in too many prompts on selling new action movie DVD's that have came out. Although I could do the opposite and increase the sales on the action movie DVD's. That way it would make the audience get more into action movies

5. More people have recently seen action movies than others. I could use this by releasing issues at closer dates to each release. That way the audience would read and hear about newer things, rather than seeing old things that have related to an action movie that they have seen recently
