The first arts magazine was founded in 1959 by Richard Coyne and Robert Blanchard, the magazine's coverage includes graphic design, advertising, photography, illustration and interactive media. This was a magazine that released issues bi-monthly, and featured things such as gallery reviews, new artists and information about the genre. The magazine was published by an Author/writer named Patrick Coyne. Since his time the magazine industry has changed a vast amount, for example one of the most common magazine genres now are things such as celebrity and fashion as society feels a sense of importance to stay up to date with the celebrity world rather than the arts world and how things are progressing.
A typical Arts magazine would be released monthly and would include information and events of the up coming month in relation to the type of art found in the area or country the magazine is available in. Because of the amount of information and offers they include they are introduced via a monthly subscription and send straight to the reader.
Although most arts magazines feature the same type of contents they all vary slightly because some of them are mainly focused to the area in which the magazine will be released, however most of them are broad and include articles that attract and inspire upcoming artists all over the world.The main target audience of this magazine would be mixed gender between the age group of 18-15 within the social class C1-E as they are mainly steered towards the younger readers.
Good research.
ReplyDeleteIt would be good to see more on regional magazines in particular - where/when did they start?
