Attitude portrayed by my product

• Images portray the attitude that the audience are

equals, and laid back and have quite a chilled out

attitude, like hippies, not too stressed out or worried

about life, and are quite happy and friendly.

Language used portrays the audience as friendly as it is

inclusive and portrays music as very important as it is

mainly focused around that topic.

Stereotype of my target audience

• Mainly teenagers/young adults, attend many music events, music has a high

importance to them, very few other things are important (laid back, not stressed "get a

job, hippie.")usually get along quite well with each other, drugs.

• I have conformed to this stereotype.

• A music magazine with a similar genre to my own magazine is NME.

The age of my audience has been targeted as there isn’t too much of a strict or plain and simple

layout, like there would be for an older audience e.g. a classical music magazine, but there is some

sort of layout and it isn’t too messy like it would be for a younger audience e.g. a pop magazine. The

gender of my audience has been targeted as none of the colours used are gender specific meaning

that it can appeal to a wider audience of all genders rather than just one in particular.
