This is because the buyers must nave money available to spend on something that is not essential. To aim to this social class I have given the magazine a much sophisticated and expensive look. However I have still aimed my magazine at a younger audience by the use of bright colours that attract the readers attention. Although from my research I found that most of the people who bought magazines were female I still aimed my magazine at both male and female readers. I did this by using unisex colours that wouldn’t put a certain sex of reading the magazine, for example red and blue.
