Draft evaluation-Q3

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

 The type of media institution that would be a likely candidate to publish Octave Magazine would be a company such as IPC media. The institution was founded in the UK in 1958 and has a large portfolio, selling over 350 million copies each year of magazines such as NME & Marie Claire. I feel that my magazine 'Octave' an indie music magazine including sub divisions of fashion and British Culture would fit great into this publishing company as it is yet to create a magazine like mine. As IPC is based in London this would be great for my magazine to be produced there as London is forefront of British music. In some aspects i can see my magazine fitting into the Southbank as it is an upmarket women's division of the brand including luxury fashion magazine Marie Claire. So this could help set my target market to women. However i do think they could work in hand with the division of IPC inspire's lifestyle brand as they already produce music magazine NME and could be a great source of inspiration for the magazine i am going to produce.

 When looking at NME  I decided that my magazine would be a similar price. My magazine would be displayed on shop shelves  and apeal to both male and female audience ranging from 16years to 25 years old. As there is is interest in NME  this means there would be possible interest for ym magazine meaning if the company were to invest into the magazine and start publishing they wouldn't be loosing profit on the magazine.
