2. Who would be the audience for your media product?
3. Originally, my initial idea was to target young adults of
both genders aged between 14 and 18 who like the
rock pop genre.
4. I am sticking with this initial idea as I feel my
magazine fulfils the needs of this audience.
5. Front cover
I feel that my front cover is focused
on targeting my chosen audience.
This is because the magazine
appears slightly informal and relaxed
portraying my target audiences
attitude. My chosen colour scheme
not only represents the genre; but
also represents the age of my target
audience as they are young and full
of life like the bright colours I have
used. It is not uniform and doesn't
not use a boring colour scheme such
as white and black which is more
associated with magazines for the
older generation. Moreover, it
represents both genders as the
colour scheme is gender neutral and
the coverlines are not girly gossip.
6. Contents Page
Again my contents page suits my
target audience. The layout is
informal and quirky whom I feel
my target audience are like-
relaxed and quirky. The actual text
is also informal and contains
humour which reflects my target
audiences personality.
Furthermore my colour scheme is
gender neutral and so represents
the target audience as being both
male and female. The images
connote the rock genre whilst
some of the articles promote the
pop genre and therefore it
satisfies my chosen genre and
target audience.
7. Double Page Spread
My double page spread appeals more to those who like the rock genre rather than
pop and this is purely because the band I interviewed were a rock band. However, it
still satisfies both genders as even though the dark colours would appeal more to a
male, the fact that the main image is of a female singer will appeal to the females.
The article is informal and has a storyline format which makes it more suitable for
young adults but also contains humour to mirror the tone set from the contents
page.
