Alternative

- Emo

- Mosher

- Indie

- Scene kid

Detailed look at how they are represented -

Mise-en-scene and image -

The use of images and obviously the mise-en-scene along with them, I believe represents my audience quite well, as the model used is wearing appropraite clothes such as a leather coat to potray the vast fashions within alternative rock. The images I think shows my audience to be a clearly defined, fashionable and creative personality, something I believe my audience as stated in the reader profile.

Colour -

The colour I used for my product effectively represents my audience as they are a great contrast of flat dull colours and bright sharp colours such as red and grey/blue as seen in my product. This apsect is seen clearly in what my audience wears, such as dark colours, yet brightened up with the use of bright top or accessories.

Layout -

Layout of my product I believe represents my audience as it is jam packed with information and colour such as on the contents page, were there is a wide variety of things, pushed together, which is clearly seen in other products trying to target a similair audience to mine, such as "NME".

Offers -

Offers I believe are something which define my audience, as from the information I gained from my reader research, I heard that they would appreciate free offers such as competitions and posters within the magazine, which I myself have used at least once on each page to represent them and thier wants.

In evalution my product makes use of mise-en-scene/image, colour, layout and offers to effectively target and represent my audience which are of an alternative genre, including groups such as emo and indie. To gain an idea of how to represent them, I did extensive research of secondary and primary nature, to see who they were as a person and what they wanted in a magazine.
