The target audience for this media product would be lower class females aged 12-17 who enjoy pop music and gossip about pop stars. They would be interested in buying the £1.99 magazine using their pocket money. The magazine is aimed at this younger female demographic as research found they were most interested in pop music. The font, language, and soft colors used in the design are meant to appeal to this age range.
2. Who would be the audience for your media product?
I believe that the audience for my media product would be a
lower class female aged 12-17 who are very much interested in
there favourite artists and want to know the latest gossip on pop
stars. Also my audience would be the type that have the spare
pocket money to buy the magazine which is why my media
product is ‘£1.99’ a reasonable price for the age range who get
pocket money. I feel my audience is mainly female because when
doing my questionnaire it was the females that were mostly
interested in the pop music which is why I chose to go for the
colour’s I did which are soft colours to aim it at them. The font I
used is easy to read for those younger readers and the language I
have used is simple again for the younger readers. I believe that it
is the younger generation interested in pop music and I found out
I was right with this when I got the results for my questionnaire
back. I would say that 12-17 year olds was a good age range to
aim for because they are the ones with the spare money to buy
luxury items such as a magazine and it would be something they
could carry on buying each month as something to look forward
too. The content inside the media product would make my target
audience want to buy it, for example ‘Jessie J’s new look’ would
catch there attention because teenage girls are always interested
in new fashion and the artists I decided to use are like role models
to them. Another example would be on the contents page ‘Which
pop star are you?’ I believe this is a great way to draw in my
target audience because they would love to be able to relate
themselves to a pop star.
