Grime magazine example and target audience


Image result for grime magazines giggs

Magazine cover looks to be traditional as the main part of the magazine is the grime artist Giggs in the centre of the magazine. Masthead is covered by the large image.


As you can see the artist ‘Giggs’ has straight eye contact with the audience this draws attention to the reader.As you can see the artist ‘Giggs’ has straight eye contact with the audience this draws attention to the reader. They placed him in the middle of the page to emphasis that he is main feature of the magazine. The medium shot that is taken is used to show us his outfit, which makes a huge link to the grime genre of this magazine it also shows us his chain which gives him a high status and make us think that he is someone important and is respected. He has no emotion on his face; however he looks confident because he has his up and looks relaxed by slightly tilting his head to the side which gives off a carefree attitude. The colours that are used are pretty basic; red, white and the background is black.
I think that the target audiences for this magazine are people aged 15-24 year olds as the artist that are listed to the right side of the magazine are young artist which people between that age would listen to and would be interested to read about, particularly if they are keen about the grime scene. Overall, I think this magazine will be more attracted by males because of the colours that are being used which are very simple colours but bold.  There is not much on the front cover of this magazine; there is only an image of the grime artist ‘Giggs’ which will attract an audience of people that are interested in grime.
