The target audience for the media product is older teens and young adults aged 16-22. Both male and female audiences could be attracted since the content appeals broadly to fans of the included artists and bands, which represent a variety of genres. However, the magazine may attract more males through the use of edited photos of females on the cover, as done by Q Magazine, and more females through coverage of a new album by a female indie rock duo similar to the popular band HAIM.

1. 4. WHO WOULD BE THE
AUDIENCE FOR YOUR
MEDIA PRODUCT?
Leah Douglas

2.  The target audience for my media product would be older teens
and early twenties between the ages of 16-22 as I believe anyone
below or above these ages would not find the content as
important/useful as people between these ages. I think my media
product targets both the male and female audiences as it is difficult to
say weather males or females prefer the artists/bands I have included
in my magazine more than another.

3.  With this in mind, I also think that my magazine could possibly attract
the male population more so as I have used more edited images of
females which is what Q magazine tends to do- E.g. the cover of Cheryl
Cole in the rain to attract more male audience. Females would also be
attracted to my media product as there is an article on the new album
release from ‘Black Heart’- a made up female indie rock duet- similar to
the indie rock sister band ‘HAIM’ who tend to attract more female
audiences.
