Research - Music Magazines (Cover)

I have decided to create a Music mgazine under the genre of POP! This magazine cover follows the typical conventions of a music magazine! The image fits the content of the music and of the target audience which i think is POP/HIP HOP and of females aged 13-17! The name of the magfazine is in bold at the top and has the right style of font to fit with the genre! The colour scheme is also very important and i will think about this in detail when i produce my magazine as i want it to fit with my target audience! When thinking about your target audience it is helpful to use GRASS! When thinking about GRASS and applying it to this front cover i would say that the Gender is Female, Race is mainstream: there's no exclusion with any race, Age is 13- 17 and Socio -economic Status is B to E! The audience that i am aiming to target with my magazine is the same as this! The socio-economic status comes form the socio-economic scale related to demographic profiling and my magazine will be group B - E which ranges from itermediate managerial places to the unskilled and unemployed! When thinking about psychographic profiling this magazine cover and mine will be targeted at mainstreamers which is 40% of the market and this comes from Young and Rubicam's Cross-cultural Comsumer Chracteristics! Relating to Maslow's Hierarchy of needs i think this magazine cover and mine will come under belonging needs or love/belonging as these are social needs. This cover ahas a lot going on on the front page which makes the reader intrigued and want to read on! The main picture is also of direct address!
