2. My Target audience: Name: AnishMistry Age: 16 years old Likes: Football, socialising, listening to music, playing and watching a range of sports. Details: Enjoys socialising with his friends and family, and playing football. His favourite television shows include match of the day and celebrity juice. He tends to listen to rock music from the past and present but isn’t keen on new music. He isn’t often found without his headphones in his ears, and that includes being in and out of lessons. He listens most to classic rock artists such as Led Zeppelin, The Who and Thin Lizzy, and most enjoys the guitar solo’s from the songs as he feels these parts of songs take the most effort and dedication compared to the other sections of a song. He also likes modern rock bands such as Muse and 30 seconds to Mars, but feels that these aren’t quite the same as the classic bands of the 70’s.
3. Why would he buy it? Anish is the perfect person that I would target for my magazine. I have a target audience of male teenagers, and even old aged students i.e. My age range is from 15-20. This was because I wanted to try and encourage more people from this age range to really get into this genre of music and maybe even to be influenced enough to start playing themselves. Seeing as Anish already listens to this sort of music, he would be a perfect candidate to target as my magazine may encourage him to listen to different bands, and he may then spread his knowledge to others of that age group, starting a ‘Rock Revolution’ similar to the name of my magazine.
4. Why did i choose this audience? The target audience for my magazine is male teenagers. I decided to choose these people because I want the new generation to start listening more to rock music from the past and listen less to the R’n’B and HipHopthat is popular at the moment. I think a lot of people, particularly young, are influenced by the decisions of teenage boys. For example, people younger than the teenagers see them as role models, and people slightly older than teenagers follow the young trends in the same way that teenagers do. So therefore, I think that if I could get teenagers interested in my genre of magazine, then I could get a lot of other people interested as well.
