4. AGE
 My magazine or this issue contains rappers, that are young boys. Therefor the
magazine catch the attention to young people. And the colours are friendly but still
strong, so young people will find the magazine more interesting, than what adults
would, because adults may like more calm colours.
 My magazine contains stories that fits more for young adults.
Here is an example from my
magazine. It’s to examples of two
stories which fits more for young
adults. Stories like fashion and
concerts – these are typical
teenage stories.

5. SOCIAL GROUPS
 On my pictures the boys wears caps and gangster clothes, therefor I can say that the
magazine fits hip hop fans.
 Since all the stories except the interview of “The elements” are girly and about other R&B
stars , would I say the magazine also fits R&B fans.
 I have used strong colours and the stories my magazine contains, are about concerts and
clothes and so on. So I think the magazine fits the people who likes to go to concerts with
cool clothes that fits the genre.
