2. Stereotypes…
My final magazine products is a rock/pop genre
magazine. Throughout the magazine I have
used a lot of red, black and white which are
stereotypically rock colours, which I know are
used in a lot of rock magazines such as ‘Q’.
The model on my front cover is wearing dark
colours which associates with the rock genre. If
my magazine was fully pop I would have put
the female in bright coloured clothing.
3. Gender
The audience for my magazine are mainly girls
however it is also targeted to a male
audience. The female I have used on the cover
is wearing greys and whites to fit with my rock
genre.
My primary audience are mainly females, so I
had to make sure that it appealed to mostly a
female audience.
We know that on a rock magazine both male or
females can be used on the front cover which is
not going along with Naomi Wolf's theory. Rolling
stones is known for using both males and
females.
4. Age
My magazine is targeted to an
audience between 16-24, the average
is around 18 years old.
To help me understand what gender I
should aim my magazine at I
researched what ages bought
magazines such as ‘Q’.
5. Social Class
• my magazine I looked at magazines such as "Q"
so that I knew what I had to include in my
magazine. I realised that "Q" is made for a older
audience.
I made my magazine at £2.00 and brought it out
every two weeks so that it was affordable, I
realised that if I brought the magazine out every
week at £2.00 it would be come very pricey for
the customer to buy and they may stop
purchasing it.
