Q4:Who are your audience & Q5: How did you attract and address
them?
Q4:My target audience for my R&B music magazine would be teenagers or
young adults aged 16-25, both male & female.
People listen to TV radio stations such as KISS, MTV, Radio1 which play
mostly R&B songs therefore young adults and teenagers listen this genre a lot
and will want to get the magazine for it.
I have used eye-catching fonts and colours such as red and Tahoma to catch
the eye of what the audience I’m aiming for likes to read, they like not too
much writing and bright bold royal colours. Furthermore, lifestyle such as the
clothes worn and life dramas such as mentioned things in the cover-lines such
as relationship drama is relatable for the audience so they might want to read
it for advice or to see what their role models do/say. Also, friends will gossip
and tell each other about things to do with their idols so hopefully they will
buy my magazine and show each other and gossip so more people want it.
The audience I’m aiming for, buy clothes such as Nike, Adidas, Hugo boss
and Armarni so they would like to see these clothes worn on the models
which are most likely to be worn on R&B models for the cover of the
magazine.
Also, disposable income for people ages 16-25 mostly have part-time/ full
time jobs so more disposable income is available and more likely to pay for a
higher priced magazine like mine which is at an acceptable £2.99.
Q5: I have made my magazine very eye-catching to passing customers by
putting a big well photographed picture of my model wearing all the right
things looking straight forward to catch eye-contact with the customers
making them have no choice but to look at my cover. Then, the title is big
and unique by being sparkly and called ‘PRESTIGE’ a recognized word for
people who like this genre so hopefully that will let them know they will
understand and enjoy the language in my magazine so they want to buy it.
Also, there are a lot of really well known artists on the front of my magazine
on the cover-lines so hopefully they are intrigued by them which encourages
them to buy it.
Furthermore, if the media institutions who I thought would be good to
distribute my magazine did do it, then I think that will get my magazine in the
right places with the suitable people who will want to buy my magazine which
is useful.
The language in my magazine is clear, short, simple and to the point. For
example on my front cover on the selling line are words like ‘baddest’ and
‘blingest’ then ‘2K16’ which aren’t actual words but in the R&B genre, makes
sense and with the date the people who relate to the culture around R&B use
the letter ‘K’ in the date in the modern day today. Also, the word ‘Notorious’
in the cover-line is very hip-hop. Furthermore, the name of the title I thought
of, ‘Prestige’, is basically the word for respected and like perfect but this is
good language because this is the word these artists would use often. My
magazine is informal, due to the fact it has very personal things mentioned
exclusively about artists personal lives outside of work.
