In this lesson we were put into groups and looked at different sub-genres of consumer lifestyle magazines such as women's glossy, music, men and style, health and home interest. My group were given FHM magazine to analyse, we identified its genre as being a men and style and discussed that the eldest their reader would be a 40 year old male as they would of been in a relationship or had a family by then and therefore would not find the magazine appealing to them, we said that the men reading the magazine find it interesting because the women that are shown in the picture are the type of women that they aspire to be with, we also recognised that an FHM reader would not need to have a high level of education as most the pages contained pictures.
We then looked at different genres of music magazines, my group was given MOJO that had the picture of Queen as their main cover image and we analysed the front cover to identify and learn cover terminology such as the masthead, main cover images, cover lines etc. We were then given a target and audience analysis sheet which contained questions that we then used to do an audience profiling. We also used this information to write a short story about the typical day in the reader life based on what articles and advertisements that was in the magazine.
