1. Who would be the audience
for your media product?
Evaluation question

2. My target audience
I showed photos of my finished magazine cover, contents page and double page spread
to people who I believed to be my target audience. I did this over Facebook because it
is the social networking site that my target audience would use and because I would be
able to record the answers visually.

3. Facebook feedback

4. My target audience
My target audience are 16 year olds and over, this is because I am that age so found it
easier to relate. This age range is more likely to be part of the indie scene and are
interested in indie rock music. My audience are very likely to own some kind of ipod in
order to listen to music. They are also likely to be part of some kind of social networking
site, such as Facebook or twitter. They are seen to be very social and go to places with
friends like skate parks, restaurants, pubs and the cinema.

5. Front cover
My target audience are teenage boys and girls, I have made my front cover appeal to
both audiences by keeping most of the colours neutral, red and black. On the front cover
I have used blue and pink which appeal to both genders. I have also used a male and
female model to appeal to both audiences.
Blue is stereotypically a colour
aimed at boys and pink is
usually aimed at girls, by using
both on my cover I am able to
appeal to both genders. I
haven’t overly used blue or
pink because I don’t want my
magazine to be directed more
at one gender so by using a
small splash of each colour it
makes my magazine cover
look more interesting and
helps it to appeal to both
sexes.
I have used the colour red
heavily throughout my
magazine. I have done this
because it is a neutral colour
and is aimed at both genders.

6. Contents page
On my contents page I have included stories about musicians and different artists in
order to appeal to a wide range of people. I think my magazine is mainly aimed at people
interested in the indie scene. The colours used on the contents page appeal to both
genders.
The advert I have used on the contents page is for
Kings of Leon. According to the feedback on
Facebook it appeals to a lot of people because they
have a large ready made fan base.

7. Double page spread
I have used the same models the whole way
through my magazine. I have used a male and
female model in order to appeal to both genders.
My interview is with the male of the group and
it’s all about their new album and the stresses of
being an artist. I have chosen a subject that
doesn’t apply to a certain age or gender, anyone
can read and understand the topic.
