Consolidation Task

For my media text i have chosen the GQ magazine cover. The demographic audience for this magazine is males aged 20-35. Whereas the psychographic audience is business men who are into the latest fashion range. The psychographic audience is also men who are interested in general knowledge and technology this is reinforced buy the quote ‘the 14 most annoying tweets on twitter’ in the secondary article.On the front of the magazine Joseph Gordon Levitt is dressed in business wear, this attracts the target audience as it shows men what they could  look like if they read the and take tips from this magazine. The style of the magazine is very formal this reinforces the purpose. The colour scheme is red, white and grey. Red is used in the magazine to give it a modern look and feel, it is also used to highlight the key information that the editors want to catch your eye with. The colour red is vibrant and has connotations of energy. the colour red ensures that it stands out over all the other magazines. 
The product addresses the reader by the placement of the model he is central making eye contact directly addressing the reader. The colours and layout of the magazine work together to make the product look fresh and modern, further inviting both the demographic and psychographic audience.
This product represents the main model as a typical business man to help to appeal to the reader who is an everyday business man. the reason this will appeal to the reader is because it could make them feel as if even tho they are just an everyday man they can look like him and be as rich as him which will appeal to the envious side of the reader to show that if you work hard enough then you can be this kind of man you can be rich and successful and maybe you will be on the front of GQ magazine being called a 'boy wonder'.
