The Conventions, The Producer and Target Audience

Regarding my main images I plan on using the images of Holly on all three of my pages, my front cover contents page and double page spread since it's my main article. I will have my masthead along the top of my front cover, possibly bolded using the title of Indierocks which is a typical convention so I want to keep it the same. Although I’m rather unsure what font I will use throughout my magazine I think Felix Titling will be a suitable font as it is a clean easy font to read. This will be the font for most of my headings within my magazine. This will appeal to my target audience since within my lexis I will be using taboo language which is an older target audience.

Referring back to my previous research of institutions either PPA of Future PLC would be suitable for my magazine as PPA have produced publications like Vogue and Cosmopolitan which highly relates to the model and style I have followed. Yet the only real music related one was Future PLC who has publications with Guitarist and Total Guitar, and since a lot of guitar music will be involved in my magazine this would be great to be on the market by them. Hopefully the success that Vogue and Beano have had with PPA I would like to use them as my institution.

The target audience of my text is late teens early twenties of both genders with similar characteristics within the music industry. I.e. Indie and rock music. These people will also be avid gig 'goers' and enjoy live music so they can relate to my images and articles within my magazine.

Many media platforms/broadcasters/ outlets will be interested in selling my magazine such as music selling stores, i.e HMV, and radio 1 will show advertising on their website, since they follow this sort of target audience. Since Kerrang and Q will be main competitors I would not be able to advertise with them yet my magazine will be alongside these in supermarkets such as ASDA and Tesco.
