Magazine front cover - Idea to develop

I have decided that out of the options that i came up with that i would like to develop a car magazine aimed at males because i think it will be a challenge as i am more familiar with teen magazines aimed at females. I am still undecided on whether to do a magazine targeted a the younger generation of males or a nagazine with more of a classic theme to it aimed at men from middle aged and onwards.

The genre of the magazine would be cars, and depending on which age group i decide to target it at, the target audience will be males either be 40-65 or 18-25 because stereotypically, they are the sex that are mainly into cars. The magazine would include features such as people selling their car, people taking photos and sending them in, descriptions of cars and competitions such as chances to win tickets to go to carshows.


-Car magazine - More likely to be aimed at men but this could be aimed at women, older adults, about sports cars, or vintage cars. For example magazines such as "Classic Ford" or "Maxpower". Colour schemes for this magazine would be black, blue, white silver if it was aimed at males and classic cars, but for sports cars aimed at men i would use more of a brighter range of colours because they would naturally be aimed at the younger generation or younger adults and for women i would use subltle girly colours but not too bright for classic cars for women, but for sports cars i would use brighter colours because again it would then be aimed at the younger generation.

Research into a teenagers car magazine:

-  This magazine is aimed at males of about 18 years old. It has an age limit too so you would of had to be atleast 18 to purchase it. It does say on the internet that it was mainly aimed at people described as 'chavs' and males who like modifying cars. They have stopped creating the magazine now as they have promoted their sales by a magazine called 'max-power scene'. 

The colours of the magazine are quite dull apart from the car making the car the central focus which is important and the title. The rest of the colours are mainly grey, black and white which contrasts from the purple colour car especially as stereotypically, purple is a more preferred colour from females.

The captions over the cover are drawing the target audience in by saying if you want your car to have style, then this is the magazine to buy. - "The king of style", "A-Z of style".

The main focus is the car on the front cover as it is a car magazine and a mid-shot has been used to capture the car and yet still have space for the sub-titles around it and a setting to make the car look better.
