Stereotype for a person who would by my magazine:

People who like house music/EDM are often seen as wild, loud, up for anything, drink too much, do drugs, sex, get into trouble, loud music, dancing, staying up late, rebellious, out of control and having fun. These stereotypes are usually negative towards people who would read my magazine. 

Representation:

My magazine is a house music/EDM, music magazine it challenges and refocuses stereotypes. As you can see from the front cover of my magazine I have a male model in typical partying clothes (Jeans, t-shirt and jumper/hoodie). You can’t see it in this photo but he has a pair of Adidas trainers on. His hair is styled this shows that he takes pride in his appearance. 

Age of Reader:

The typical aged reader for my magazine would be anyone aged 14-26 because that the age when you are going to house party’s or clubs or Lads/ Girls holidays. My magazine reinforce this by showcasing young artists and young models between these age brackets.

Gender of Reader:

My magazine is aimed at Males and Females because typically at parties there are boys and girls there. This open my magazine up to more people because the bigger the target audience the more people that are likely to read it.
