The convention, the producer and the target audience of my text.

The conventions, the producer and the target audience of my text:

1.    I plan on keeping all of the conventions on my text simple so that the reader wont get confused and that it illustrates the simplistic conventions of the whole magazine. In my images I intend the light to be dark to suit the style of the magazine because males suit this style, I will have to ensure that you can clearly see what I have photographed too. The font will be bold for the title and sub titles to make them stand out; however the font for the text itself will be fairly small and not bold in comparison to the title and sub title. The text may be limited however there will be enough information in the text to explain what the audience will need to know. The colour palette will be a mixture of three main colours which are, red, black and purple, having these three colours makes the magazine conform to which style of magazine it is.

2.    The distributors of my magazine would be a producer who has a reputation of signing pop-punk artists as this is the style of my magazine and their music would probably be featured in my media. Producers who also have a reputation of influencing great pop-punk albums would also be involved in the making of my product. The producer would also have to be a big fan of my media.

3.    My target audience is within the age range of 16-20 years of age and the majority is male. The audience would probably be determined by social class and background, as working middle class people. However working middle aged people would probably not enjoy my media as it is aimed more at the younger audience as not many older people listen to pop-punk music. These people would dress in skinny jeans/normal jeans with checkered shirts and trendy shoes.

4. Companies/ brands that would support my magazine would be some clothing brands like Vans would support, this is because they base their company on pop-punk and pop-rock. Retailers such as earthworks would sell physical copies of my product as we have a similar target audience for what we both want to sell and that would mean more income for both of us, and establishing with the customer a place which sells the things they want to buy. Supermarkets like asda and tesco would also probably sell copies of my magazine, however this would mean giving them a percentage of what we make as they don’t have very many things in common to sell alongside the magazine which would result in fewer sales.
