There are several expectations from the Target Audience
of an alternative music magazine. These include:
- · Dark clothing: while this is not the case 100% of the time, there is a large stereotype that alternative artists wear dark, often black, clothing which connoted the emotion that is portrayed in many alternative songs.
- · Strong body language: it is common that, on the front cover of alt-rock magazines, that the cover stars have strong and defensive body language. For example, arms crossed, standing at an angle (which gives a person a sturdier balance)
- · Direct address: Direct address is a very important aspect on the front cover of an alt-rock magazine. This is because direct address from one of more cover stars intimidates the reader into investigating the magazine, possibly encouraging them to pick up and purchase the magazine.
- · Language: Strong, short and snappy wording for my cover lines are commonly found on the cover page of an alt-rock magazine. The use of bold statements will match the attitude of the genre.
To ensure my magazine is as realistic as possible, I will
make use to include all of these points within my photography on my cover page.
