Question 2

Question 2

My magazine is a indiepop magazine and therefore appeals to a certain social group of both genders, aged 13-19. I believe that it represents social groups in the same way as other indie-pop magazines like 'Mojo' and 'Q'. These are  Both very popular magazines. People who class themselves as part of an 'indie-pop' social group are all about following trends while adding there own unique style to it to show individuality, which is what I wanted my magazine to be and therefore, appeals to individuals.

I did this by making my models dress in suitable outfits, e.g. checked shirts, super slim jeans etc. The models hairs was in wavy with a small fringe which gave him a casual stylish look which reflected the style of my target audience. I directed different poses for my model that I believe represent the social groups.  (This image to the left isn't one that made it onto my magazine but it is a good example to use when explaining the poses).

I chose a male model as this straight away represents the male side of my target audience attracting them to the magazine, similar to this, a female might see a good looking boy and want to know more about him. So, in truth this technique attracts both genders.

I gave my magazine a colour scheme of red, white and black. These are all very clean and clinical, this connotes that the magazine is very professional. As the colours are very basic but also well thought out, it makes my magazine seem a lot more appealing to the target audience. I have used the same house colours throughout the magazine which gives it a consistent theme.
