2. Who is my Basic Target Audience? In my first idea for the Music Magazine, I attempted to set up ‘ROCK’ to be the main theme of the Magazine. That was however, before I ran a Questionnaire… Upon running a Questionnaire, Amongst the Class, it seemed that over 7/9 People felt that they would prefer to read a Music Magazine, that was about, Indie Type Music (Independent Musicians). So, In my project it quickly became apparent, that my Musicians are possibly going to be made up of, Independent Artists, as shown on my Cover…
3. Target Audience… With these facts presented to me…I now need to choose which Gender & Age Group, I am aiming this Magazine at… However, If I make it more for Both Genders and higher age rate (like 18-21), possibly like “Q” Magazine which would I do need to be careful though… If I aim my Magazine for Females in a Teenage group, I may wind up making it a, Tween Girl Magazine… feel appealing and welcome to Music ideas than it would, Gossip. If I did make it, Tween, it would be filled with more Girly Gossip and Rumors than actual Music News.
4. What are my Audience like? If my Magazine is going to be Indie, with newer artists rising, chances are probably likely that the Audience is also going to be rebellious. My Target Audience… Would have a Cry for uniqueness and would want to detour from the social norms… Compare to the Main Stream Magazines, My Audience would want to see something different and be given the impression that their generation is ahead of it's time. Meaning my Magazine would need to take some extreme lengths to fulfill that need. THIS LEADS ME TO QUESTION 5…
5. Question 5: How do I attract/address my Audience… When I did my Questionnaire, Almost everyone whom I asked, said that an item that draws them to the Magazine is that of the Image on the Cover of it… This can be counted as true as a Majority of Magazines, I found in my Research, do have quite an appeal to the eye…
6. How My Cover Will Attract The Audience? The Feline Face is possibly the most unique and eye catching thing of the cover. This is able to attract the Audience (And possibly new ones) due to how rapidly different this might be to Magazines that seem in the Norm. The title line begins taking multiple twists starting from Red Metal before the S’s take the forms of Lightning Bolts. This can offer to the Audience that, the Magazine would feature Multiple Twists within it. My Audience is mainly suppose to seek for ‘New’ types of Music when they see the magazine. So, My Taglines suggest that the Magazine would be full of, as the Cover says, “Music Upsurge” The Colours of the Text also vary all over the cover, meaning it will be appealing to the audience’s young eyes as they look towards it…
