The document discusses finding a model for a photoshoot for a magazine. The model is 22 years old, fitting the target audience age range. He enjoys indie/rock music and shopping at Topman, interests shared by 23.8% of the audience. These common interests in music and fashion will help make the photoshoot more successful by allowing the model to authentically represent the genre through familiar poses and outfits.

2. When on the phone to my model I
decided to ask them some basic
personal information about their
lifestyle and interests. I asked these
questions to find out whether my
model had any similar interests to
my target audience and whether
their interests would help make the
Photoshoot more successful. For
instance if he is a fan of the people
he is posing as then he would
already have a good understanding
of what will be appealing.
I have created a profile fact page for
my model that consists of the
information given over the phone.

3. My model is 22 years old therefore fits
into the same age range as the target
audience. As he is at the top of the age
range, he fits in with the conventional
structure of having an older model
which allows my readers to look up to
him and aspire to be like him.
His favourite music genre is Indie/rock
therefore my magazine will cater for
his interests. This means that he will
like listening to similar bands that I am
featuring therefore will have a good
understanding of what they look like.
This will help with my photoshoot as
he can copy the poses from his
favourite artists and replicate them for
my magazine images.
My models favourite clothing store is
Topman, like 23.8% of my audience. This
will help with my photoshoot as I feel
confident that my model will own
clothing that will appeal to the audience
and reflect the genre. Even though I
have chosen the final outfits myself, the
majority of the clothes I have chosen are
featured in Topshop as it is well known
for its individual style. It is also
important that my model already owns
similar clothing otherwise I would have
to buy appropriate clothes to represent
the genre which would be more time
consuming and cost money. If I had
chosen a model who loved pop music for
example, they might only own bright
coloured clothes and not suite the dark
colours of rock therefore would be
unsuccessful at drawing in the reader.
