4. Summary By doing my Audience research, It has helped and influenced me in many ways to shaping how I want my final music magazine to look like and have it in. I found out that many people like watching music videos on the TV; on such programmes like MTV, KERRANG, SCUZZ etc. I would refer back to these channels in my magazine and if I had a big budget for my magazine I would choose to advertise my magazine here as it has the same audience I am aiming at with the age rang of about 15-25. The music genre of my audience varied a lot but the majority of the people asked listened to the indie, rock bands and singers. Artists such as; Paramore, You me at six, Panic at the disco, The Strokes and so on. So my music will feature mostly the low key indie bands with the added rock and slightly heavier bands. However with the exceptions to some people they said they listen to; Ke$haand Jessie J. I would also feature these electro pop artists sometimes as they have some interest with many of my audiences.
5. Summary(Cont’d). With the internet my audience frequently uses the top sites like ‘Facebook’ and ‘Youtube’ This is very popular with the age rang I’m aiming at. This is also perfect advertising places and topics that could be discussed in my magazine. The look I have now finally decided I want for my magazine is a vintage, old time style look. With wore out logo. I found out that including original photography, detailed articles and free stuff included in my magazine such as free CDs, posters, t-shirts etc. All encourage readers to buy magazines. All of which could be included in my magazine so I attract my targeted audience.
