My magazine is aimed at young people who are interested in pop and rock music. I have used a young artist as my cover star as the target audience will be able to identify with her. The style of the artist's clothes and the electric guitar reflect the genre and the feel of the magazine. The magazine has a fun, youthful image as the cover is very action packed and care-free. The cover suggests rebelling from adults and this is something that appeals to the young audience and the social group. Reception theory states that a particular social group will interpret media texts in a similar way but the same media text may be interpreted differently by a different social group. The audience will identify with the front cover and may even be influenced by the cover star's style. The electric guitar shows the type of music and the image gives a fun and appealing representation of the culture and life style associated with the genre of music.
This cover of 'Q' magazine has a similar feel to my magazine with the fun image as the main focus and the electric guitar emphasizing the genre and the fact that it's a music magazine.
