- 1. Who would be the audience for your media product? You should have a drawing of your target audience member and an explanation of what kinds of taste they might have- where they would shop, what music they would listen to, what their favourite Tv programme would be, etc. make sure you have taken a photo of it, post it on the blog and write a few notes on why they would buy your magazine.
- 2. Although ‘indie’ music is mostly targeted towards males as most indie artists are male bands females have a large role in the popularization of artists such as The kooks’ video ‘Naïve’. That audience are mostly young Females and young adult males. So my target audience reflected this. I chose to have a more female targeted audience as most music magazines are aimed at males.
- 3. My target audience is 18-28 year olds. The type of people I am aiming at are those who are deeply intrested in emerging artists and the alternative sound of new music. With a prodominance on british music, as the subcultures begin to rise these young people follow it with egre eyes and I believe my magazine will help them to explore other artists they are yet to hear of and learn more about those they have. The future for this generation is translated well through music and fashion so the attention payed to these subjects will be embraced by my audience. I would vary the type of indie music the magazine focused on so that there is always an audience. The styling would be changed to suit the artist. My magazine will have a fairly even split of male to female as the cover I have created in this work is aimed more towards females. However I would provide multiple covers as the other two which can be seen in my contents page are clear to be more male intended. I believe that by doing this it will allow for a larger target audience, as people care less about gender barriers it isnt as big of an issue, but still most music magazines are male focused whereas fashion magazines are focused at females. It clear that everyone has a passion for music and indie is the most recognisable for influcing both genders to express themselves. I have chosen this target audience as I believe I understand them and what they like and look for in music. Im aware that they have alternative views to older generations and will therefore be wanting something different in their magazines.
