How many music magazines are on sale?

There were roughly 5-6 magazines in the stands but that is because some are not on sale yet.  

 

How many different genres of magazines are on sale?

There are many different genres from classical music to modern pop on average probably around 4 as we try to cater to the different music choices. 

 

What is the positioning of the music magazines in the store?

They are jumbled up so you can find many different magazines.  

Which magazines are at the front of the stand and at the back?

The more well known magazines are at the front as they want to be the first you see whereas the ones at the back are less well known.

 

What part of the magazine is on show the most and which part is shown the least?

Depending on where the magazine will be placed will be what is on show if the company knows it will be at the back they will focus on the title but if it is at the front then it will be the whole cover has to be filled with content.

 

How clear is the name of the magazine? Is the price clear?

Usually the titles are bold as they want to attract the reader so the name has to be clear so you can find it easy. The price is less clear as it is usually on the back so you have to pick it up and scan it.  

 

What do you notice about the positioning of the major artists? Can you discuss the eyes and why these are important?

They have positioned the major artists looking at you as the eye contact draws you in and it makes you think there looking at you 

I learned doing this the style and layout of the magazines. As they have positioned them to the liking of customers with the bigger selling ones at the front. The magazine companies also use this to their advantage by selecting the bits they know will be on show and filling them with the most information.
