Question 4

The target audience that will be viewing and purchasing my magazine will be interested in the genre of indie/alternative rock and would listen to rock based music and electronic pop. The thing that my magazine would produce is the latest news and gossip about the most popular artists and other things, it would include things like interviews and opinions of the artists. It would also include information about upcoming events and gigs which the artists may be appearing at. The age group that would be interested in my magazine is in between 16 - 26. My magazine costs £2.99, this is quite a high fee for a weekly magazine but I feel that it provides something different and original compared to other mainstream magazines. The magazine provides information about artists such as The XX, Arcade Fire and Vampire Weekends, these are bands that are very popular and influential in the indie/alternative rock scene.

My magazine would also be heavily influential in the fashion of my genre as it would post the do's and don'ts of fashion. For my magazine models style and appearance and layout I took ideas from other magazines such as Loud & Quiet and I.D, I chose these magazine because they also were magazine that were based around my current genre and my target audience would also read those magazines so it would attract them to mine. With m photos i just used a very minimalistic style by only having a white background and just the artist on there own, i did this because other magazines such as Loud & Quiet and i.d use very minimalistic photos throughout there magazines and i feel it fits well with my magazine and will attract my target audience.
