for young people interested in sports and the mainstream media.
They will be opened minded and want to create change. They
would be people interested in issues such as climate change and
racial injustice.  My magazine will cost £2.50 so it is an accessible
price for the audience. 

SYNOPSIS:
Issue 1: Representation of Gender-Women:
This issue's main article will represent women and in particular a
homeless woman and it will discuss the social issue of
homelessness and how it is presented and viewed by the public.
While this will be the main article of the magazine, there will be
stories about other affairs that are happening now. In this issue it
will also include stories from students going back to school, college
and university and about their experiences due to the corona virus
pandemic and how it has changed their experience. This article
will have a feature on the front cover but will also be shown in the
content's pages.

Issue 2: Representation of Gender-Young Men:
This issues main article will be about the main-stream media and its effects on
young people. The story will be about a young sports stars experience into
becoming famous and rich at such a young age. The article will talk about the
mental health impacts on young people due to the media and the spotlight
sports stars are in and how anything they do will be scrutinised by the media
due to their fame and responsibility (links to the story at the moment of Phil
Foden and Mason Greenwood). While this is the main story for this issue, there
will also be other stories in the magazine. For example there will be a story
about climate change and what the audience as young people can do to help,
article on the black lives matter movement, an article about the American
election as well as more.

THE LAYOUT OF THE FRONT

COVERS AND MAGAZINE
CONVENTIONS:
My intended audience will be open minded individuals who want
to not just better themselves but make the world around them
better for the future. They are aware of the issues globally and
want to do something about them. The issues presented in our
magazines are issues of homelessness, mental health, racial
injustice, climate change and body image etc. These issues are
presented with real stories from individuals or groups who have
been affected, but give ideas of how to change these to create a
better world and that is why my magazine is relevant and applies
to the brief.

HOW WILL IT APPLY:

The website will feature a video with the executive producer about
the magazine and the type of content it will feature. The video will
also talk about the values of the magazine and how that relates to
the target audience. The way the audience will see the link to the
website in the magazine will be through a puff for a competition
and you can enter on the website. This will entice the audience
into going to the website. The website link will also be on the
content's pages of both issues. The linked page for my website will
be for videos and more information behind the interviews that will
be featured in the magazine.
