Q4) Who would be the audience for your media product?

My chosen audience for my product was aimed at older teenagers and university students. The reason behind this is they are the same age as most of the artists in the Indie rock genre and they are the ones who are likely to relate to the lyrics used by the artists, another reason is the audience can copy their style as it is individual and from the age of 16 onward people begin to express themselves more. After researching into this genre i found out that both males and females read magazines, however it is predominantly males who read it as they account for more than double the females reading similar magazines.This really helped me in ways, how to style the magazine, and how to style my reader profile.

I had done some research into demographics, and I found out that the average reader of the NME falls into the ABC1 category. So to make my magazine more successful I took the decision to aim my magazine at an audience which the NME does not, and that is the D/E category, which is predominantly students and unemployed people. Taking into account the majority are students I made my model on the front cover to be young so t would attract the audience to it more.

All questions on the questionnaire:

1) What is your name?

2) How old are you?

3) What is your demographic group?

4) What genre does my magazine represent?

5) What audience do you think my magazine is aimed at?

6) What is the most eye catching thing on my cover?

7) Would you alter anything on my magazine?

8) Does the colour scheme and style of the magazine persist throughout all three pages?
