Media evaluation question 4

2. From my research I have decided to target my
audience at young males aged 17 – 25 who take
interest in the genre which is Hip Hop. I have
chosen this age range as my target audience
because this is the age where they usually begin to
start getting passionate about music and also they
explore to find different genres that they find suits
them. Another reason that this is the most suitable
age range is because teenagers usually start to get
jobs aged 16 or 17 which will give them the funding
to buy my media product. There were two main
websites I used to find research about my target
audience. These websites were ‘ukTribes’ and
‘YouGov’ which allowed me to find out things like
the personal lifestyle of a 17 year old male and what
interests they might have.
When I designed my media product I had to keep
my audience research in mind to make sure I was
making my magazine inviting and attractive to that
specific audience. The two models I used also had
to mix within the age range and apply to the target
audience because then they can relate to each other
making the magazine suitable for this audience. I
also used a simple layout for all three pages and
little text again making it so the target audience
approves. The sort of brands my audience would be
interested in are Nike, Adidas, Ralph Lauren, North
