In today's lesson our media teacher requested us to look at examples of magazines and then to answer a series of questions that are related to it.  These questions range from what its target audience is, and also there is more in depth questions to do with the inteneded reader of the magazine, for instance What kind of breakfast would the reader eat who reads a magazine like classic rock..

Here are just a list of some of the questions and answers we used to investigate the readers of the magazine:
What car or transport do they use? - a cheap car
What music do they like?- Rock
What is thier favorite meal?- takeaways
Do they vote and if so who for?- No one becuase the readers of this magazine are unlikely to be intrested in politics.

What I learnt hear  is that the front cover should be a representation of what my targer audience stand for. It should show what intrests them. So that when someone who is not part of my intended  target audience looks at my magazine they will know what kind of people would be likely to read it. Just look at the cover of this classic rock magazine the celebrities are look directly at the reader in an agressive way, but yet they loook relaxed, as if they do not have a car in the world.

This is good research becuase for my magazine cover I will have a picture on the front which will be representative to a teengae audience..
