Statement of intent

I am making a health and fitness magazine for 14–18-year-olds for a male audience. The people who read this will be interested in fitness and who want to be active also for people who are still in school and like P.E. People who read this will be interested in how to lose weight and train to gain muscle. My magazine name is Teen Fitness the slogan for my magazine is Get fit quick, my specific target audience is a male audience of any race who are interested in staying fit and healthy. 

The codes and conventions for my magazine is the colour palette is going to be red, white, and black. The layout of the front cover will be the masthead at the top of the page with coverlines on the side and the main image in the centre the typography used will be serif and sans serif font. The mise-en-scene used will be on how the model looks and acts so he should look happy and confident in what they are doing. This will appeal to my target audience since if they see someone enjoying what they like it might persuade them to get it.

This magazine should look stereotypical meaning it should look like a normal fitness magazine. The Lexus should be nice and simple so people can understand what the magazine is about. The intertextuality focused on one thing at a time so the reader can understand what is going on and what they need to do.
