The age of the audience that we have aimed our music magaine at are from the ages of 16-25, we decided as a group that this age range would be highly appropriate and work well as this age of the generation that are interested in this genre of music that our magazine focuses on. Whereas if we were to aim it at people aged 50+, they wouldnt be interested to buy the magazine as they are typicaly more interested in classical more sophisticated music, and wouldnt know any of the latest bands or any of the feautures on the magazine. Also this age is appropriate is that the magazine may include mild swear words that any younger would be seen as inappropriate and, have a bad influence.

Another idea that we had to focus on is the social class of the aimed audience, would they be middle class? working calss? or upper class? this had to be decided carefully as this would depend on the decided price of the magazine. Our overal price that we considered appropriate was £2.50, we came to this decision as the age of our target audience would be able to afford it as the majority of them would have a part time job, (shop work in retail) as it is a monthly issue they have time to get the money, if you think about it, the magazine is rather cheap as it has a lot to offer, this also gives them enough money to spare for other social activities, such as going to live gigs, as this will be advertised in our magazine.

The ideas that we came up with to attract the readers is competitions that could give out free ticket's to upcoming gigs and concerts, VIP tickets to meet celebrity's backstage, most of the audiences would jump at this opportunity. The average income that our target audience would earn is the average british income, and most of them would still be in educion, e.g college or university.

Live Photos - Anita

I took these photos at a live gig at pluginplay studios. I wanted to capture some atmospheric photos of the bands Subverts and Pete and the Pirates. The lighting conditions were quite bad as there was low light at most times, so i had to increase the ISO to get more light in the photos. This added noise to some of the photos and made them grainy,however, i will try to restore them by manipulating them on Photoshop later. I really like how some of these photos turned out as the lights help create a certain mood in the photo, which reflect Funk Rock music. I also got some crowd photos which show energy and it looks as if they are having a good time. We can use these photos in our magazine to persuade the readers to go to live gigs more and see these particular bands.
