Q style model

I have chosen Q as the second of my style models because they are multi-genre, making them flexible and have simple colored covers which follow all the conventions of a music magazine. The magazine costs £4.99 and is a monthly magazine. The target market for this magazine would be middle class, as it is slightly informal yet still contains serious aspects, mixed gender because it features both male and female artists and the age group would be adults between 25-45, due to some of the artist being rock, while others being more modern. The magazine costs £3.99 and is published monthly by Bauer media.

Mojo style model

I have chosen Mojo as one of my style models because they cover rock and roll  and have simple covers which follow all the conventions of a music magazine and has a bold attractive house style of black,orange and white. The magazine costs £4.99 and is a monthly magazine published by Bauer. The target market for this magazine would be lower/middle class as the genre of rock is more commonly associated with that social group, men because most of the cover artists are men, and middle aged, 30-55.
