My target audience for my magazine is strong minded independent girls/women aged 16-24 who do not wish to conform to the stereotypical, lifestyle of their culture. These women have an interest in things that are separate from normal conventions, e.g interested in star signs and are superstitious, also artistic.
I think my magazine appeals and addresses my audience successfully, as the name of the musician on the front is Orania which is an unusual name of a Greek goddess which ties in with the the theme of superstition. The masthead looks very ornate which again goes against the conventions of normal magazines, the mention of your top acts of 08 suggests that the magazine does not look entirely on the music that is currently popular instead looking at lesser known acts and alternative music. This therefore shows that the magazine does not conform to the conventions of current music.
My front Cover
I think this front cover challenges the conventions of a stereotypical magazine as There is not much writing and therefore people focus on the picture, also the picture is in black and white and the model is standing outside rather than in a studio. I think my masthead also fits with my magazine idea well as it is very decorative and intricate, yet still you can easily recognise it. I like this picture as her skin is such a contrast to the background, I think this portrays really well how this magazine is different to others- a contrast.
My Contents
This is my double page spread, I think that this follows some conventions of stereotypical magazines as the main feature on the page is the picture, there is not much writning and few pages written. I think this is a good thing as readers will flick through the magazine rather than going straight to the page that appeals most to them. The main background picture i took in colour and then changed it so many times, I had it black and white until very recently when I decided that the page looked to bland and that as my front cover was in black and white i should change it. The C on contents is written in the font i have used for my masthead creating an link to the magazine.
