This edition of Classic FM magazine is published by Haymarket Media Group. In doing ,my reseach about the magazine, I found out that the magazine circulates 30,225 days, the magzine is published monthly and was launched in 1995. This company also publishes international magazines such as Direct Makerting News (USA) and Bahrain International Circuit. However the Classical FM station is owned by Global Radio. This type of magazine would normally suit the older adults ( 35+) , however some teenagers may like to read some pages as the front cover may instantly attract them to it just like the magazine here. Teenagers may want to feel inspired by something that they would not normally read.
The strapline mentions that it has a free CD, which persuades the audience to buy. It also says that the magazine is one of the favourite classical music magagzines, therefore the magazine has been the publics favourite for a while.
Classical FM not only specializes in soothing music, but also has its very own radio station that operates from and sponsors theatre dramas and interviews of dancers, musicians aswell as advertising tickets for concerts. The price of the magazine is £4.25. The front cover of this magazine achieves its purpose of giving a vibrant feel because of the colour , it is fresh because of the minimal make up used on Myleen Klass. Myleen Klass is also a well known classical musician aswell as a TV presenter. The colours used , give the impression that the magazine intends, to gain the publics interests but at the same time, be targeted towards the older generation mainly. The coverline, is very standard and simple. This suggests that the target audience is the oldr generation. The older genreation, will only be able to understand simple text , so this is an obvious indicator. The style of font is also quite standardized and formal while the 'f' is in a swirly style font. The letter 'F' in red, could represent the word 'Females' and therefore give the readers, the impression that the magazine acts as a semi- role model to them. The colour red, is also a feminine colour which could suggests, that this edition of the magazine pays most attention to women, which is unusual for a magazine specialising in all the different kinds of media. The cover line with its determinating and strong souled aura, 'My Musical Mission' suggests that the target audience is for people who believe they can achieve and be able to do what they set their minds on. She is alos tryin to tell us what she has done and the coverline explanes this a bit more. Based on the context of the cover line , the targetted audience could possibly vary from late teens upto 35+. The word 'Musical' is in a bigger font, than the rest of the text and in red font colour, against the white background, therefore this means that the magazine is aimed at music. This coverline is also at eye level to catch your attention first and persuade you to purchase the magazine. The word 'Mission' is the slightly smaller than the 'Musical' but still stands out especially since it has as exclamation mark right next to it. It is as if Myleene Klass is speaking aloud to us the readers, while we read her words. If the audience carefully look at the sub heading 'How the presenter is winning new freinds for classical music' this gives readers a sense of happiness and laughter.
The model (Myleen Klass) is also a guest and musician. She is within the same range as the targetted audience which means that she is a a person to aspire to be like. She is looking straight at the camera and audience in a confident manner, with her chin slighty dipped onto her shoulder and smilles to us the audience in a freindly way. This implies that the targetted audience can relate to her as a freind. A medium close up of her has been shown. She is wearing a pink top which provides a good contarst background. Based of the fact that she has no make up, suggests that she is a represenation of the ideal targetted audience.
Other subheadings ,include two famous composers to interest the readers mind. On the left hand side of the page is the cover line 'Fiddler on the surf', this is a play on words as the original title is 'Fiddler on the roof'. Therefore this adds humour to the magazine and makes the public want to buy it. Beneath this, 'BEST LIVE MUSIC GUIDE!' has been written .This is in capital letters to inform the reader that the magazines offers the best help with where to go to listen to live music. The writing is in white and set against a red background therefore the colour red could also mean that it is part of their brand identity.
