Who would be the audience for your media products?

My target audience that I plan to satisfy with my final magazine look, are to be of quite mature age although I do not mind having consumers as young as 15 reading my articles etc in my magazine as they will be perfectly suitable for the ages 15+. I’ve chosen to use the informal way of writing in order to express the rebellious atmosphere that the rock genre possesses but also in order to suit both the mature and younger aged groups. I’ve used designs that hit the 15-24+ mark as I’ve used quite complex yet cool looking techniques such as different brushes, pathing, image manipulating etc. I’ve used the survey result for age to help me decide my target audience to be around 18-20 as that’s the highest number of people of that age that took this survey.

I’ve also chosen to make the magazine suitable for both genders, male and female in order to maximise my audience reach. However, I should have included more female role models for the female population in order for young females to identify with them rather than just having crushes on the male rock stars. In the future I will add this.

My target audience would be interested in the rock genre as a whole; therefore I used designs with house colours such as black, red, white and yellow in order to portray the rebellious, dangerous and explicit atmosphere. I’ve used these colours due to the fact that majority of my samples chose red, black, and yellow and white to be the prime colours needed for a successful rock genre atmosphere.
