Photo-shoots

I took 3 different photo-shoots, one in Skelmersdale, one in a friend's bedroom and another in another friend's living room. Here are a few examples of the photos I took.

Recce

Once I knew what appealed to my target audience, I immediately had an idea of where to take my pictures:

Recce

The pictures were taken in Skelmersdale, I chose this area because I felt it was effective and that it would fit into the magazine well.

Target Audience

When I was planning my magazine, I wanted to be sure it appealed to my target audience. My target audience was going to be from ages 15-30 who are fans of music magazines such as NME as they were my main inspiration. To do this I asked 20 friends and class-mates all within the age of my target audience a few questions in order to make sure I appealed to them.

 The results from the questions I asked shown that my target audience didn't just want a plain simple, colour scheme, they wanted something completely different and new. They also wanted the magazine to be featuring indie music and wanted the cover to feature a male artist. I was going to use this as a guideline when creating my magazine as I wanted to appeal to my target audience.
