1. Who would be your
audience?
By Chloe Harrison and Clara Rodrigues

2. Age group chosen..
15 - 24
We chose this age group as we wanted our target audience to be quite
mature. For example if we wanted to attract ages below 15, our magazine
genre would be ‘pop’, as the genre is R&B this is inappropriate for a younger
audience as some lyrics are explicit and feature violence. Some of the artists
could also look patronizing as some males are shirtless, big muscles, and look
directly into the camera which can look quite dominant and not
appropriate for children. Also females wear minimal clothing and can look
quite seductive which is again inappropriate for young children.

3. Evidence of R&B female and male
artists representation..
Beyoncé wears minimal clothing, and her
subtitle says the following ‘Beyoncé strips
down’ which appeals to both genders as
males find her attractive and females
aspire to be like her.
Akon is shirtless and has strong muscles, he
also looks directly at the camera and points
in the same direction. This is very dominant
and patronizing to a younger audience.

4. Why 24?
I had said in a previous essay that some of my
audience will be attending university, I chose this
as the older audience, and students may be
interested in this type of music as they hear R&B
music on ‘night outs’. I also feel the older audience
are appearance orientated and like to feel
attractive, as R&B artists wear minimal clothing this
could be inspirations for females, which convinces
them to purchase various issues as they like a
certain R&B artist that features in the magazine.
The females in the issue also appeal to men which
again I have discussed in a previous presentation.
