With the genre of my magazine being alternative, my target audience could be seen as being represented rebellious within my products. Stereotypically, the ‘alternative’ audience are those who enjoy non-mainstream music and that of alternative bands that are not in the mainstream charts. My front cover image and double page spread image show that of an artist who is conquering the world, and perhaps 'breaking out of the norms of mainstream music, the poses in my images suggest confidence and ‘rebel’ behaviour (facial expressions, outfit, hairstyle). Due to this, the alternative genre audience are therefore represented in a reckless way – their music taste is of their own and they are confident about their interests. Teenagers (who are my main taregt audience) may look for a magazine exuding confidence as they lack it themselves.
As well as this, the teasing contents on my front cover effectively represents a British alternative magazine by involving the British festival, Leeds fest. This establishes the British audience as well as the festival effectively representing the alternative genre by reflecting their music taste (typically).
I think my product best represtnt those in the E/D demographic however the rebellious attitude that comes across in my products may not effectively represent their attitudes as people.
