2. The genre of my magazine will be fashion and lifestyle of the male gender.
Choosing lifestyle allows me to take ideas from a range of different areas
of life, allowing me to target a broader audience within the given
demographic.
I will likely reinforce conventions, using stereotypical costumes, colours etc.
as I believe that more readers would be of a stereotypical male.
Darker colours will be used to provide a more masculine kind of feeling,
rather than colours like pink or purple that would do the opposite.
Mainstream clothing for a mainstream audience.
3. Bold masthead found high and central on the cover page.
Cover lines not placed all over the page, but enough to fill up any free
space surrounding the model.
With my magazine being more conventional, there’s not too much that I
will avoid that you’d find on a magazine such as GQ.
With a younger audience who still have a lot of their lives ahead of them,
lifestyle based cover lines and contents shows the audience what they
could be doing, and maybe what they can dream of doing in the future.
