My magazine stereotypically represents the indie/hipster type of people but in a positive way as it shows off the nice and different clothing that they all wear and of what they do. It is trying to promote
all of what they do and who they are and showing the lifestyle of hipsters. It also shows off the music taste of hipsters/indie type people and it draws people into being like them if someone listens to the music it may make them live that life style or view positively upon them.
The magazine is based on NME and link with a simple colour scheme so it is not too overwhelming for the reader and it seems a lot more indie than having numerous colours in one. Also, with the simplistic look I put large bold fonts for the headers and mastheads and then a small font for the main text.
After researching on UK tribes I decided I wanted to appeal towards hipsters as I felt they were the best audience to go towards as they fit the best to the genre of my magazine and they were male and female and could be of all sexualities. Also they were of young ages which is what I was aiming for. I represented them the best i could through the use of my models. All of my my models and magazine lay out show a more of an indie rock/hipster type of person as my models are wearing buttoned and collared shirts with skinny jeans and, with the one model you can see wearing shoes in the contents, all black smart shoes. The clothing range ranges from branded and unbranded smart casual clothing from shops like Top Man/Top Shop, Wardrobe and Wellgosh. It appeals to people who take on personalities from other artists so they are similar to them or try to be extra different to express their personality and individualism. Also, the people reading this magazine are going to be creative such as musicians or highly into fashion and celebrity fashion. The style and personality is very much similar the the band Arctic Monkeys. Showing off how they are so different to everybody else and how individual they are by what they wear, how they act, what they do and what they say.
The pictures I took were very typical of the indie kind of scene as they have very serious faces and are either doing completely nothing with their hands or just doing something little like holding something or touching their faces. I had the pictures face on mainly the top half of the body and the models looking directly into the camera which is very stereotypical of indie magazines and bands like that.

This needs some work. The UK Tribes paragraph is fine. You need to begin by stating which social groups you have represented in your mag e.g. gender? Age? etc Then you can include the UK Tribes section. Try and find a better/more comparable photo than the one you've got of the group as it doesn't really look like your pic in terms of representation and style. You need to comment on how your mag represents the groups, whether your mag represents them stereotypically and positively/negatively. Also you should consider why you have chosen to represent them in this way.
