Question 4

• 1.
  Who would bethe audience for your media magazine?
• 2.
  When reading mymagazine it becomes very clear who my target audience is. One way you can tell the age range is through the text it’s self. Because my target audience are either in full time or part time education the writing style if still colloquial but sophisticated. The writing is exciting and appeals to the interests of my target audience. The writing style of the magazine creates a connection between the magazine and the reader as these may be interests they love also because the writing is not patronising, it shows that the magazine acknowledges there individual inelegance. The magazine talks to them like the young adults they are rather than the children society tends to treat them as.

  When is wasdeciding my magazine demographic I created a survey to find out the age, gender, musical interests and so on. When doing this I found that my target audience would more than likely be aged between 16 and 24 and female. Doing the survey became a great recourse for the creation of my magazine as I took all the answers that I received into consideration to create the best possible magazine for my demographic. As over 80% of the answers for the question ‘what Is your gender’ were female I decided that this would be my main audience. Also because nearly 70% of the surveys audience were aged between 16 and 24 this became my target age range. Due to many of the participants taking part in the survey had a some sort of musical background this also really contributed to how I shaped the magazine to cater for my target audience. I wasn’t to worried about also including bands on the cover like ‘the smiths’ because of my target audience having some for of musical knowledge even though my main genres are pop, pop – punk and acoustic it still made sense to venture out of this firstly because most of my audience will be aware of the band and because it gives a change to widen my potential audience.

  My target audienceis teens/young adults aged between 16 and 24 and are female. They are more than likely still in full time or part time education and have a big interest in music more than likely having a wide musical knowledge listening to music at least 2 times a day or for long periods of time and being able to play and instruments confidently or having a great interest in learning. Not one of them have the same social life. The magazine offers chances to win tickets to spend days out with friends for the ones that are more social but also has things available for the parts of my audience that prefer to stay indoors and spend time alone. They will have some interest in fashion and will often look up to artists like Eden and Phoenix for modern and alternative fashion inspiration this is also why the feature in the magazine, elements like this will also target my audience directly.
