Magazine Research

 To understand the concepts of a productive magazine, it was imperative that I researched some magazines to see how official companies attract people with their magazines and with what techniques. To start, I examined 3 contemporary magazines. These are magazines that are currently being published and sold.
 The first magazine of this type that I analysed is called "OK!". This magazine focuses most of its content on celebrity news. It uses articles that are about high profile issues revolving famous people to gain custom.
 The next modern magazine that I explored is called "new!". I found that this magazine's focal point also regards the lives of celebrities. Alike the "OK!" magazine it uses intriguing articles about the life of a celebrity.
The final contemporary magazine that I investigated is called "Hip Hop Weekly". I predicted that this magazine would also base its articles on celebrities and used similar methods to attract customers. My hunch was confirmed once I had probed into the magazine.
The links to the official websites for these magazines are listed below:
OK! - http://www.ok.co.uk/home/
New - http://www.new-magazine.co.uk/home/
Hip Hop Weekly - http://www.hiphopweekly.com
After I had finished looking into the contemporary magazines I decided to search for more magazines, however, this time I was attempting to find more archaic magazines. As a result of my investigation, I discovered that the older magazines promoted more personal related topics or included information about hobbies and DIY. This suggests that as time has passed by, fame has become the pinnacle for journalists and also everyday people. To elaborate, as stardom became more popular, people became more interested in knowing about how these famous people live.
Below are a few pictures of senior magazines:

In terms of my magazine, the results of my research have determined that it is a possibility that I may have to include images or information in regards to celebrities in order to attain custom and produce an effective magazine.
