2. Unlike most magazines of this
decade, I have decided to solely
dedicate my magazine to teenagers
based on the fact that music has
now become a part of everyday life
for teenagers and that they identify
strongly with it, no matter what the
genre. Also, rock appears to be the
most popular for the youth and
many have favourites ranging from
hard rock like Disturbed and Three
Days Grace to more softer ones such
as Linkin Park or Arctic Monkeys. An
example of this is shown in the
contents page of my magazine. The
two lower images are of teenagers
instead of adults in order to make a
better connection to my intended
audience.
3. My audience would most likely
consist of middle class teens, most
likely educated in public schools,
sixth form, college and university.
Some of them might have part-time
jobs such as working in standard
retail shops or big brand stores.
Many would also be regular
attendees at concerts, music
festivals and gigs featuring their
favourite bands. Finally, many would
also have their own sets of
merchandise such as posters, mugs,
t-shirts, key-rings, cutouts, signed
photos and of course, CDs.
4. Based on research from the website
Media UK, in July 2013-December
2013, 1,021,000 people have
listened to rock music each week
and at least 32% of them were
female. This shows how far rock has
expanded over the years, not only
appealing to different age groups
but also to different genders. My
magazine contents page also
features two female “rockers” as to
attract more members of the female
demographic. I feel that this could
ultimately boost popularity for my
magazine and attract potential
5. As stated before, while the majority
of “rockers” are of White, due to the
fact that rock originated in the
western society, my magazine isn’t
going to be targeted at a solely white
audience. I plan to target a variety of
different rockers, regardless if their
ethnic background as many rockers
that I have come across appear to
mixed including Afro-Caribbean and
Asians, showing that not only has
rock spread to different genders but
to different races as well.
