My demographic

 For my magazine, I really want to reach a younger audience because I feel as though the topics I have chosen to write about are all extremely prominent in teens. During our teenage years, we are usually trying to discover who we are and who we want to be. This is not as easy when there's so much more societal pressure as well as judgment. I want to target all genders that struggle with self-acceptance and self-appreciation. Furthermore, I want to make this magazine as diverse as possible by interviewing individuals with different backgrounds. My goal in my magazine is to emphasize how uniquely different everyone is in the best way possible. I will be doing this by interviewing teens who have struggled with taking pride in who they are, as well as those who have overcome this struggle. By doing so, more teens would be interested by being able to see and read about the many different stories people have dealt with personally. This magazine would allow others to acknowledge that they are not alone.

 Magazines require certain conventions that they all need to follow. I will mention and explain them below.  •Nameplate/masthead- The font that makes the magazine recognizable. It is specifically designed to attract an audience.  •Taglines- Taglines are used to show what the magazine is about. •Coverlines- Coverlines mention the topics included. •Central image- The central Image draws an audience before they can even read the magazine.  •Cover model- Cover models are usually celebrities that have a strong connection to the magazine's genre.  •Color scheme- The color scheme is used to target a demographic.  •Barcodes- Barcodes are used to Identify your magazine.                  Reference: https://www.slideshare.net/shsgmedia/magazine-conventions-andterminology                                           ...

First Thoughts on House Style

   I believe that House Styles have contributed to making magazines organized, as well as attracting an audience. Magazines use House Styles so that they are able to attract their demographic. House Styles might be developed by grouping individuals and having them decide who they want to target, what they want to portray, and how they want their audience to feel. The genre of the magazine influences the House Style because they want to establish a different feel depending on their topic. Therefore, they might use contrasting color schemes, coverlines, and cover models if their magazine genre was gardening or business.
