2. The way I figured out
what social groups I
represent in my
magazine, I first of all
surveyed the public
on hobbies, music
they like, what they
want in a music
magazine, etc. But
then I used
C.R.A.G.S.
CLASS
RACE
AGE
GENDER
SEXUALITY
3. Class
The class that my
magazine is aimed at is
working class. Although
the audience is slightly
to young to be
employed, I think that
their parents will have
just the right amount of
money for what they
need, although not too
much disposable
income, which is why I
have made my
magazine fairly cheap
and offer a lot of prizes.
4. I feel like I haven't
exactly excluded
any races
throughout my
magazine,
although the
race I represent is
predominantly
caucasian as that
is the only race I
have used in my
images.
Race
5. Age
The age I will be representing is around
14 - 16, mainly on the younger side. The
main reason I am deciding to include
16 year olds in my target audience is
when I surveyed the public, there was
only about 2 or 3 people aged 1 who
said they'd be interested in reading my
magazine, whereas there were a lot
more 14 to 15 year olds who were
interested
6. Gender
The magazine will be almost exclusively aimed
at females, hence the feminine colour scheme
and fonts, and the fact that my 2 main models
are female. The only reason I decided to only
appeal to females is because not a single male
said that they would be interested in purchasing
or reading my magazine; although I will try my
best not to completely exclude them as I only
surveyed 10 people which isn't a fair way of
saying no males will ever be interesting in my
magazine.
7. Sexuality
I think that my magazine mainly attracts
straight people. The reasoning for this is
that most magazines aimed at the
same age group as mine tend to only
appeal to straight people maybe
because they think the target audience
is slightly too young to have completely
figured out their sexuality.
