Institution
I could pretend that I am producing a magazine for an existing publisher whose other publications have something in common with my own. In comparison I could state the publishers previous publications are totally different to my own and identity a gap in the market for my magazine. Also i could create my own publisher and create the company specifically targeting all its magazine to a specific audience ect. The publisher of the magazine will be stated on my double spread page and give information about other magazines available created by that publishing company.


Ideology
What message / moral / values I intend my music magazine to convey about that genre of music and its target audience, Also the messages it conveys about the publishing company. I will do this by using specific conventions and a colour scheme to portray different morals to the audience.


Audience
I will Briefly outline the target audience in research and planning presented in my blog. The target audience also should be recognisable on my magazine and should be appealing to that specific market. I will decide my target audience after choosing my genre and conduct research to decide on specific articles and images which would attract audience, this is very important otherwise the magazine may not appeal to my market.


Representation
How the music magazine represents my target audience, i.e. positively / negatively / accurately / stereotypically / unconventionally? etc. This will be influenced by the background image chosen on my splash and the colour scheme used, basically the overall feel of the magazine.
