Question 4: Who would be the audience fore your media product?

The target audience for my magazine would typically be 14-19 year olds who are young, trendy and fit in with the indie/rock genre. Typically, the majority of my target audience will listen to bands like Oasis and Mumford and Sons. Their free time is usually spent on social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter or reading up online about their favourite bands. I have chosen to make my magazine unisex to appeal to both male and female teenagers. This is shown through the colour schemes in my magazine as I have kept a repetitive black, red and white theme throughout.

In other free time, my typical target audience would be following rock/indie bands on tour around the country, and if the band isn’t that well known, they would be following them at local events/gigs. Festivals would usually be around summertime when my audience would typically travel as they are mostly students so my magazine would be ideal for those who are a little strapped for cash and want to follow bands around the country and want to get involved with local bands.

If I were to include adverts in my magazine, I would make sure that they were tailored to suit the target audience for my magazine. As summer is approaching fast, I would maybe feature camping or festival adverts with links to websites so my audience were travelling, the research is done for them. Additional adverts would include new CD album releases online so my audience can keep up to date with the latest music.

Typical clothing style for my target audience would be dressed down in baggy t shirts with converse pumps and pants or leggings, nothing too obscure.
