Media Work

1. By Sohail Qureshi
How does your media
product represent particular
social groups?

2. My Target Audience
• Class = Working Class
• Gender = Targeted at both genders
• Music taste = Indie music
• Age = 16 to 25
• Hobbies/leisure activities = Playing an instrument,
attending gigs, singing
• Fashion = Trendy, current clothing, very causal
• Future Aspirations = Wants to break through into the
music industry
• Products they may buy = Clothes, CD’s, typically
youthful things

3. My Target Audience
• The puff is eye- catching to the audience I have aimed my
magazine at, this is because they will genuinely believe that
they magazine is the most successful brand. This is because
they will be getting free things and exclusive interviews by
artists.
• I have positioned it at the top of the page, just above the
masthead of the front cover as this will catch the eyes of a
musically passionate demographic.
• The puff is small and catchy because I wanted the sentence
to be easy for the reader to understand it.

4. My Target Audience
• The masthead has been positioned at the top of the front cover. This
is because the reader sees the masthead before anything on the
font cover.
• The colour of the masthead is black, yellow, and red. You can tell b
y the colours that this magazine has been aimed at a older
audience rather than younger ones. This shows the gender of both
demographic, as the colours are simple, bold, and dramatic.
• the masthead is eye-catchy to the targeted audience as it is clear
and simplistic.
• The masthead has trendy and out of the box style font because it
very different from the ones you get from other magazine covers.
This will interest a laid-back, youthful demographic.

5. My Target Audience
• All the image my media product are targeted at the
audience I have chosen for my magazine.
• The photograph will interest working class demographic,
as it shows casual impression.
• The article photograph targets a audience from 16 to 25
demographic, as the clothing on the artist looks reliable
and that very working class demographic. 16 to 25 year
olds would be more impressionable, and the clothing
looks retro/indie inspired.

6. My Target Audience
• The cover lines are positioned around the centred feature
article photograph. It has been positioned to fit the target
audience style because the font of the text on the front cover is
big, bold and very easy to read. The reason I have done this
because of the target audience being a working class
demographic.
• The cover lines show a series of indie/rock style fonts, this
showing the reader that it has been aimed at a 16 to 25 year
old demographic.
• Like the “The Indie Rock Legends Are Back.” this will be
appealing to the target audience I have chosen for my
magazine.

7. My Target Audience
• The plug quote in each of the media product I have created will appeal
to an audience who is not particular or aimed at any religions, this is
because they will value their music to be the most important thing to
them.
• These plug quote will target the demographic I have aimed my media
product at, as it appears clear and simple to the reader.
• The typography is big, bold, and easy to read for the reader. The bright,
and simplistic font will also interest a working class demographic to read
the information in the media product.
• The plug quote on each of the media product has been written
differently and different colours have been used to attract the
demographic.

8. My Target Audience
• Like the NME and Q, they are used to separate boring and long
winded text so the reader is still reading the text without thinking that
the writer has wrote to much in the magazine, this might mean that the
reader will might not read the magazine.
• My magazine features pull quotes, pull out posters of artists, this will
mean that the younger demographic of my magazine will decorate
there rooms with, therefore appealing a big range of people for the
media product.
• The colour scheme for the magazine is black, red, white and yellow. I
am breaking the colour conventions because I have more than three
colours used for the colour scheme in the magazine.
• This shows what my target audience like and how the house style is just
right for the reader.
