Who would be the audience for your media product?

When designing my magazine I needed to choose a target audience to appeal too. I chose to design my magazine for the age range of 15-30 year olds with a interest of rock music. My typical stereotype of audience is dark coloured clothing, skinny jeans and band tops or patterned tops. Furthermore the girls tend to wear dark makeup, that makes them stand out to be original. Piercings and tattoos are very common with my target audience. Although they tend to wear dark colour sometimes they can vary with bright colour for hair dye or small parts of clothing. They like to keep to their group and as a rock listener they wil follow certain bands and stick to them. This means they will choose certain magazines because of the certain bands inside.

How did you attract/ address your audience?

I looked at current magazines and I also researched what these group would look for in a magazine and what they look like. I feel my magazine will suit these the most because I have suited it to fit them. 

The dark colours that I have used in my theme are the main colours that my target audience will normally associate with. Furthmore I looked at the way bands pose in the images in the magazines and I attempted to recreate these poses in my images. By doing this it makes the bands look professional and they suit my audience and how they like to see their favourite bands.When researching the current magazines I looked at the bands that were mostly used in all of the magazines and how much content they got. By doing this it meant I could work out how much content to use for my double page spread.
