genre of alternative lifestyle. I am here today to convince you that my product is the best for your organization!

discovered through genre research, it will be different and like no other magazine out there at the moment.
• I will be doing audience research so that I know my magazine will cater for my primary audience.
• I have considered that my magazine will be given out with the northern echo, this means that I will be keeping to certain limitations and making sure it is suitable for everyone to read including my primary and secondary audience.

Can you define beauty?
This article will approach the topic of how mainstream magazines are bring across the wrong image to people. Using models who are the ‘perfect image’ which makes people who don’t look like this feel like they may need to look like this, it’s all we see.
There should be more alternative lifestyle magazines using real people. – relatable to audience. They will appreciate topic. They are already different, they don’t look like what the people do in vogue magazine.
The article will focus on everyday people who are happy with themselves for who they are, using local people of the same age group. – relatable.
The article will bring across a message that you are who you are and you shouldn’t compare yourself to anyone else. – hopefully making the reader feel more positive and think in a different way.
