I have aimed my magazine to attract the late teenage social group which would be around 16-18 year olds, I have also aimed it at mainly girls as the main story is about a female however there are other bands and artists included for males to be interested in if they are not interested in the main feature. Rock music, which was originally known as 'rock and roll' was more popular in the 20th century when it was first discovered. Unfortunately for teenagers who love rock it isn't as popular as it used to be which is why I called my magazine Revive as this could be seen as bringing something back with the magazine.
I also asked my audience who their favourite rock bands were so I could include them on my front page, and since my audience was mainly teenagers and they chose My Chemical Romance, I included My Chemical Romance on the front cover to attract my selected audience.
Since my magazine is aimed at students, they will most likely not have a job so they will not be able to afford very expensive magazines which is why I made my magazine £2.40. This way they can buy the magazine and the company will also make a profit, and hopefully the cheap price of the magazine will make it more popular among students.
Also to represent the social group I chose I picked the models gender, clothes and makeup carefully. Having a female on the front cover will attract more girls to the magazine but also males as she is attractive. The clothes I picked out for my main model to wear were dark, edgy and could be considered rock clothes. The clothes are what teenage girls into rock will/ want to wear so my model represents them. I also wanted the makeup to be heavy on the eyes but still looking as natural as possible, as being the rock genre makeup is heavily involved. I feel like the natural look is important in magazines as it less chance of decreasing girls confidence in themselves.
