3. My Target Audience
My target audience for my music magazine PopStar,
would females aged from 12-17, from a working class
background.
They would be in their teenage years so would
sterotypically be smiley, cheesy and have a positive
outlook on life. They would enjoy a range of activites
such as sporting, music and fashion, which is also
displayed from conducting a interview/portfolio of a
pop magazine reader, who I would expect to purchase
my magazine.
4. To gain more understanding into my target
audience for my magazine, I interviewed someone
that appealed and fitted into the brief of my
specific readers.
I asked questions into what interests and likes she
had which could give more insight into topics that
are already featured in existing magazines, and
would benefit and appeal more if I included them
into my magazine.
This interview, also helped
me to understand the
things she did not like and
therefor would not want to
include. For example,
Ke$ha. However these are
just specific tastes and does
not apply to mu target
audience as a whole.
6. What other media do they
consume?
After carrying out some extra research I was able to find out
other methods of ways my target audience consume media. For
example, with my readers of my magazine being in the younger
age range they are most likely to interact via social media. Most
popular sites are Twitter and Facebook, where you are able to
gain recent information more quickly compared to a magazine’s
content. Within these social sites there are also adverts and
images which is also another way they consume media without
physically realizing on products that are trying to be advertised.
TV is also a popular way they might consume media, with
television adverts on conveying a same sort of image and
representation of Idelogies such as the ‘teenage fashion look’.
Music also plays a way media is consumed through listening
online or on devices.
