The genre of my magazine is pop/punk. I decided to go with this genre because it will stand out with todays teenagers. I chose to target teenagers and young adults around the age range of 16-24 because these are the main ages in our days that buy music magazines. I have represented this age range by using a picture of a girl in this age range on my front cover and double page spread. I have also represented this age range by using the colour black which is a very rebelious colour, and this is the age where people rebel and change within themselves. Another way i represent this age range is in my double page spread with the facial expression she had. She has a sort of cheeky grin which makes her look like she has done something wrong and is slightly smug about it. This is easily relatable to my age range.
In specific social grades i have decided to target the C1 and C2 grades. This is because my price of £2.40 is easily affordable to a typical working class family once a week. Also the type of language and storys that i cover are easily relatable to these classes e.g. drug problems on streets.
I have decided to target my magazine toward females. I did this by using a girl that doesn't have her body on show which is typical to male magazine. Instead she is in a pretty red dress which women would like to own. My aim was to hopefully make them envy her style which includes her make up too. Her mascara was very defined which made her eyes stand out, women tend to notice these things where as men would only see a pretty girl.
