HOW DID YOUR INITIAL IDEAS AND THEIR EXECUTION CREATE SPECIFIC REPRESENTATIONS OF MUSIC AND THE READERS OF MUSIC MAGAZINES? I executed the specific criteria's for the music genre very

careful by making sure that the magazine I created did have the correct criteria's, these was things such as the bright colours within my magazine, the use of gossip and celebrities throughout I did this to make sure that I stuck with the conventions and therefore filled the criteria required for the generics of the pop genre.

For the audience I had to ensure that they was enjoying the magazine by not only supplying the specific criteria found in pop magazines but also making it interactional for the reader and something they relate to and use in their every day life. This was done by ensuring the use of tips for fashion, social media interaction etc.

FOR THE READERS OF THE MAGAZINE, FOCUS ON STEREOTYPES THROUGH AGE, GENDER, SOCIAL CLASS OR ETHNICITY.For my magazine I had to focus on a specific target audience

who was young tenager around the ages of 13-19 however to make sure that it was soething could be done with this small target age range I had to widen it up to bothg enders instead of the typical female audience. This was completed by ensuring that I had themes of unisex in there through the colours, articles, pictures etc. The social class of the target audience is represented through the language used being a lot of 2nd and 3rd person showing the informality of the magazine and also the pricing to show that the social class would be the lowest class students, working people etc. The ethnicity for the target audience is mainly Caucasian people due to the stereotypical people who like pop music so this a market that is already out there which means it can be easily completed and broke into.

WHAT SENSE OF 'REALITY' HAVE YOU CONSTRUCTED IN YOUR MUSIC MAGAZINE AND WHAT TYPE OF AUDIENCE IS INCLUDED AND EXCLUDED AS A RESULT?In my magazine I have consistently excluded the higher class

audience through the informality of the text and the colour themes/layout. I achieved this by nsuring that it was very cheesy and gossipy not to formal which is soething you expect from those higher class magazines. I didn’t want to reach out to the higher classes as they have a very particular and precise criteria and the audience mass of those compared to the lower class audience is considerably smaller, this means I wouldn’t have a magazine that would be successful and very difficult to ensure that it would sell at all. This shows that I did include the lower class teenagers in my magazine by showing a sense of reality that everything featured isn’t something they are aspiring and dream of it is in fact actually reachable and can be something they achieve such as the fashion tips, the story is based around someone who was a lower class young boy at some time and now is massive and prizes etc.

REFER TO STEREOTYPES OF PEOPLE, LOCATIONS AND MUSIC GENRES.The stereotypes of the people who I want to target will be that

they are into their fashion, love their pop music, go to concerts and love to gossip they would be from city environments and small towns etc. (urban) this is because I believe that this where the most of the target audience I am aiming for is based. The tye of music they will be into is r&b, pop and hip-hop this is because of the generics in the genres, they are all aspiring and reality conventions within all the songs.

RESEARCH INTO THE HYPODERMIC SYRINGE THEORY TO EXPLAIN HOW PERSUASIVE YOUR MAGAZINE IS IN PROMOTING IT'S MESSAGES TO YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE AND ALSO RESEARCH INTO THE EFFECTS THEORY TO EXPLAIN HOW IT MAY AFFECT YOUR AUDIENCES' BEHAVIOURS AND ATTITUDES.In my magazine I wanted to give the audience the impression

that the celebrity who is being in the article is a very inspirational role model and somebody who can affect your life in a good way. I affected the audiences opinion of him through the images and language used within the story and headlines. The image I used was very subtle and direct address showing he is a affectionate person and is honest. The language used was very honest and laid back the answer was very humorous and chilled “Hahaha…” this is very targeted for my target audience because they are at the age where they seek guidance and inspiration and this is something they can receive from within my magazine.
