This is task four for ALEVEL Media, just encase any readers are doing the same subject and need inspiration

2. Social Groups



When I was first creating my magazine I had to be
aware of how people would be more likely to
follow their friends into an already set trend like
R&B and rock rather than be unique and create
their own trend.
I also had to be aware of what kind of influence my
magazine could have on my readers lives, and
how I wanted it to be portrayed into a positive
outcome.
Lastly I had to be aware on my readers itself; their
age, gender, lifestyle and culture, and incorporate
all those topics into my magazine so anyone can
read it.

3. Age and Gender


After creating my magazine front cover, I officially
decided that there should be no age range or
influence by the “male gaze” applying to the male
gender, that everyone should have the ability to
read it.
As there is no sex, drugs or alcohol mentioned in
the magazine, there was once again no point
creating a limit for my readership, as there was
nothing negative involved in the contents on my
magazine that could influence the audience in a
bad way.

4. Lifestyle

I wanted my magazine to introduce to readers
that no matter what lifestyle the audience
has, they can always afford to buy my
magazine. That they don’t need to pay about
£6.00 for a magazine they are probably going
to read once like Vogue.

This was another influence I wanted on my
readers, showing that money doesn’t
control the type of interests you have, that
you can afford to buy a decent magazine
like “Detached String” for an affordable
price.

5. Culture
Purposely I made sure that my model on
the front cover, was covered and not
wearing some tight or small clothing. This
is was to widen my target audience to other
cultures who don’t agree with the models
showing so much skin.
 However the type of magazine I created
usually only appeals to southern
Americans, but I am hoping to change
that, by creating my own trend of music
magazines that would interest a vast
variety of people at different ages
