3. ABOUT MY TARGET AUDIENCE
My magazine will be one aimed at student unions and this
means that I will focus on people aged between 18-23. My
target market are people in which have to put their personal
time behind their work load. This also means that my
magazine will have to concentrate on the average students
life in both genders such as going out on a regular basis to
events, clubs and parties. Due to such interests, the readers
of my magazine may be more interested in live shows,
touring and party lifestyle music acts have. Due to the wide
range of students targeted, I will have to look and involve
many genres and maybe create a much more local interest
music acts wise.
4. ABOUT…………
Not only will my target audience lead the stereotypical
student lifestyle but also have personal interests in which
many have at that age. Social networking will be one in which
many people are involved in, if I involve such social networks
in my magazine then I’m more likely to create a much bigger
interest in which people believe they can get involved in but
also gives a way in which I can create a much wider interest
in getting my product known throughout all the university
students. My target audience will not be involved in reading a
lot but use it as a way of escaping from their work and reality,
they may use the magazine to learn about music events
coming to the area but also to create a style for themselves.
5. AGE, GENDER AND STATUS
Age will be key to my magazine with it being specifically
aimed at people who are involved with the university and
with that age being mostly started at the age of 18 and
courses being up to 5 years. The gender of my target
audience is not specific with wide range of different genres
involved and and the student lifestyle grouping both genders
as a whole. The cost of going to university and living is a lot
for the age in which people often go, students may not have
the money to just go out and buy a magazine so with my
magazine being involved with universities and being free as
it includes adverts then status or background of my audience
is not too important either. Trends will have to be watched
with social statuses such as Goth’s and Emo’s may be key to
whether there is a big interest and also watching the content
that I am involving.
