Ideal Reader Profile

This is the ideal reader profile for my magazine. This is to show what the ideal person that would read my magazine would be like; what food they might eat, whether they are employed or not, whether they are students, social class, age range, clothes they might wear and even what possesions they may possess.

Since I already know what type of person the ideal reader for my magazine would be because of the results of my survey but this wasn't made so I could use it as a reference, but instead it was made so that if any brand or company that may benefit from advertising their product in my magazine they can look at what type of people read my magazine and decide whether or not they are they type of people who are part of their target audience. If the readers of my magazine are part of the target audience of product made by a company or brand, then they wil wish to advertise their product in my magazine, this is one of the main purposes of an ideal reader profile.

To make it clear what type of person reads my magazine I have explained what possesions they may have,  what they like to do when they go out and also what way of life they follow. Aswell as with text I have used images to actually show the type of drinks, cosmetic products, clothing brands, snacks and technology that the reader consumes.

This is my contact sheet which contains all the images that I have taken  myself in order for me to use in my magazine. You may think that the image of the stars is not mine but I did actually take that on a conveniently scheduled holiday to Kenya. Out there, there isn't any light pollution so you can clearly see the night sky so I quickly snapped a picture because I thought a photo would be useful for my magazine.

I decided to use a male character for the main images in my magazine. After looking at other magazines like NME and Vibe (since there aren't any established dubstep magazines) I quickly gathered that I would need to have a variety of shots for my images like close ups, mid shots fully body shots etc. As well as the shots I had to think about the location, lighting and what was happening in the image in relation to the main article which was the main artist taking us back to his hometown where he grew up. Since the main article was about the main artist returning home I decided to base the article in the artists neighborhood and home this way it would put the readers right into the shoes of the main artists featured on my magazine.

After taking my photographs I played with the exposure, size, color and background of the images I would use on Photoshop and then placed them into the layout of each page of my magazine. There were some images which I did not take properly or they cut of the person's head so I was forced to retake them
