Seeing as there aren't any mainstream drum and bass music magazines in circulation at the moment, I have found a picture of drum and bass/dubstep artists chase and status from the cover or a DJ and clubbing magazine called 'DJ Mag'. I think this will be appropriate to review and compare to my magazine about how they both represent the same social group, which my magazine is focused at.
To begin with, you can see that the facial expressions of the model on my magazine and of Chase and Status are very similar. Both have straight faces and aren't showing any obvious emotions other that seriousness, which could relate to the social group as most would only be buying these magazines if they were serious about listening to drum and bass other similar genres of music.
The model used in the pictures in my magazine is also wearing clothes that would be associated to the target audience my magazine is aiming at. The clothing is very plain and simple, and paired with accessories such as the hat, which can also be seen in the picture of Chase and Status You can see the type of clothing and people whould fit into my target audience here.
Another feature of my magazine that would appeal to my target audience would be the free download that is being offered on the front page. As you can see from the UK tribes research of the 'Ravers' social group, they are heavily influenced by radio and the internet and this free download incorporates both of these features, which could make it a major selling point.In this animation you can see who I think matches the target audience of my magazine, and how they relate so strongly to the 'ravers' social group.
