I have conducted research to learn what appeals to my target magazine audience. Through questionnaires, I discovered they are interested in artist interviews and news. Therefore, I have included mostly interviews and news stories about popular indie bands like Arctic Monkeys and Foals in my magazine. I am also offering free posters and a competition to win tickets to Leeds Festival, which my research found is popular among my audience. This content and prizes will attract and engage my target readership.

Images feature props like bandanas associated with hip hop culture. Page numbers correspond to the contents page for easy navigation, following magazine conventions. The layout is minimalist yet conventional, taking inspiration from the influential hip hop magazine XXL for the contents page style and cover page arrangement. This helps the product adhere to existing magazine conventions.
Age
My media product is a magazine aimed at teenagers aged 13-18. This age group is interested in pop music and inspired by celebrities. The magazine will provide interesting stories and insights about their favorite artists to engage this audience. The magazine primarily targets females, who make up most pop music magazine sales. It uses bright colors, prizes, and makeup tutorials to appeal to females. Gossip-style exclusive stories about artists are also included. Research found the target audience is of working class status, so the magazine is priced affordably for this social class.
Evaluation Question 2
The document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups. It decides to target social classes E to C2 as they are most likely to listen to hip hop music. It aims to represent the early days of hip hop and the lower classes, as hip hop originated from the struggles faced by the lower classes in rough neighborhoods. The product stereotypes its audience based on research into other hip hop magazines, depicting the model in stereotypical lower class African American attire like a hoodie and bandana. The target demographics are identified as male, aged 25-29, and African American, based on the reader profile of XXL magazine. The prize is a pair of Nike Airs to suit this demographic.

Results slideshow

It was found that the target audience prefers magazines focused on music and hobbies. Most readers are interested in popular artists like Adele, Nicki Minaj and Drake and genres like R&B and pop music. Competitions and information about bands and artists are highly desired content. Dark colors around $3-4 per issue are thought to best promote the magazine.
Proposal
1) The document proposes a music magazine that combines aspects of VIBE and Q magazines, focusing on honesty and telling the truth about artists and music.
2) The target audience is males aged 15-28 who are interested in music, concerts, and social media.
3) The magazine will be published monthly and include features on popular artists, reviews of concerts from readers' perspectives, and sections voted on by readers.

Target market research
Natasha created a questionnaire to research her target audience for a new music magazine focused on the indie genre. However, many of the respondents did not fit her target audience and wanted different things than her intended readers. To improve, she needs to survey specifically people who like indie music and music enthusiasts to better understand what they want from the magazine and tailor it to her target market.
Music Magazine Evaluation
My magazine uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media products. It uses conventions like:
- Consistent color schemes and layouts seen in magazines like NME and Q
- Page numbers, subheadings, and editors letters located on contents pages
It develops conventions by:
- Having a purple color scheme to appeal to women rather than typical indie magazine red/black
- Altering layouts of pages like the contents page
It challenges conventions by:
- Specifically targeting women aged 18-25 for an indie music magazine rather than a mixed or male audience
- Not including advertisements on pages like the contents page
In summary, my magazine borrows proven conventions but makes them unique by adapting colors
Evaluation 3+4+5
The document discusses how the author addressed their target audience for their hip hop magazine. They aimed the magazine at males and females aged 14-23 who are interested in music, fashion, and technology. To attract this audience, the author included free CDs, used consistent professional design, included full album tracklists, wrote attention-grabbing cover lines, made page numbers prominent, and offered a subscription. The layout is simple and uncluttered to appeal to the target demographic.
Magazine proposal
The document proposes a new indie music magazine called "SOUND" that will be released monthly. It will target teenagers aged 16-22 and feature reviews, interviews, and competitions. Each month there will be an in-depth profile of a featured artist with questions, tour dates, and trivia. The unique selling point is that tokens collected in each issue can be redeemed for prizes from artist merchandise to concert tickets, with better prizes requiring more tokens. The magazine launch will include chances to win trips to major cities and a special cover to generate excitement.
Evaluation question 4&5
The document discusses the target audience for a music magazine. It conducted a focus group that found the ideal price was £2-2.50, leading to a £2 price point targeting middle-class readers interested in live music. The target audience was set as 16-20 year olds interested in pop/dance, as the author fits that demographic. Festivals and concerts are popular within that age range. The magazine focuses on live music festivals to fill a niche while appealing broadly. Colorful, vibrant covers targeting females were chosen to attract the intended audience.
Proposal
The proposed magazine would be called "InD" and focus on indie, rock, and alternative music. It would have a bold, recognizable logo. The magazine would cover both upbeat and darker aspects of the artists, tailoring to the artist rather than having them conform to the magazine. It aims to have interviews and articles on both mainstream and up-and-coming indie bands to discover new music. The magazine would be released monthly and target an audience of 15-25 year olds. An emphasis would be placed on social media promotion to engage readers.
Drafts proposal
The document discusses plans for an indie music magazine. The author decides on an indie genre magazine because it is between rock and pop, and the genre they listen to daily. They feel indie magazines are easier than pop magazines which can be all over the place. The target audience will be ages 13-30 of both genders to appeal to a wide audience. The magazine will make money through advertisements at festivals and concerts to appeal to the target genre audience. It will also make money through subscriptions by offering free gifts to subscribers each month. The final magazine will include typical sections like articles on made up indie artists with interviews and facts to entertain readers.
Question 5
The document discusses various ways the magazine attracts and addresses its target audience. It analyzes elements like the website, price, cover design, typography, article topics on music, fashion, and food. Focus groups provided feedback that the colors and creative elements made the magazine unique and appealing. Articles on concerts, reviews, and buying guides also attract readers interested in music. Quotes and biographies help readers connect with artists. Overall, the magazine aims to attract its young music-focused audience through relevant content, affordable price, and stylish presentation.
Evaluation task 4
The target audience for the magazine would be males and females ages 16-25 who enjoy indie music and festivals. This demographic is active on social media and follows new and upcoming indie bands rather than mainstream artists. The magazine will focus on the indie scene through features on bands and individuals who dress and act differently from mainstream culture. Market research found that people in this group would be willing to pay around £3 for a new magazine in this genre.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Q5
- 1. What appeals to my audience
- 2. I have included a special offer in my magazine to persuade people to subscribe to my magazine. They are getting a good deal every month and it means that they are signed up to receive the magazine every time it is published for a certain amount of time. This is good for the institution as they are getting a constant income and good reader figures. I have included a plug that is promoting a competition to win tickets to a popular festival so it catches the audiences attention. Also, readers of my magazine would enjoy the same music that will be at this festival so it will attract my audience. Plugs stand out on the front cover, so it is important to make the content something that the audience wouldn’t want to miss out on. I have included free posters of well known artists that people interested in indie rock music would like and be interested in, therefore they will be more likely to buy the magazine for the posters. Also, it catches the audiences eye which may lead them onto looking at the content of the magazine and then buying it.
- 3. The word ‘your’ is addressing the audience, making them feel involved with the magazine and editors etc. It also makes the reader more likely to enter the competition, as it tells them that they could be the ones who will win and go to Leeds festival. This feature story makes the reader feel like they are being given exclusive information by buying my magazine. It makes them feel like they are up to date with the latest news before any one else, and then they can tell their friends about the newest bands. Their friends may then be encouraged to buy my magazine as they want to know about the latest news and be the person to tell others.
- 5. From my questionnaire, I discovered that the majority of people I asked liked to see interviews and articles about artists. Therefore, to appeal to my target audience I have made most of my feature stories interviews with artists and news about them. From my audience research, I have found out that the Arctic Monkeys, Foals and Twenty One Pilots are popular amongst people. However, I have not included Twenty One Pilots in my magazine as they did not fit in with the genre. Also, I have selected a few artists people mentioned, that fit in with the indie rock genre, to be featured in my magazine.
- 6. This tells me what feature stories my audience would like to see in my magazine. This helped me to decide on my content so it would attract my audience, for example including the weeks newest music releases and lots of interviews and news about artists. Images showing what my target audience are interested in helped me to decide what free gifts and competition prizes to give away. I am giving the chance to win tickets to Leeds festival as this is an event that is very popular amongst my target audience. Knowing the interests of my target audience has helped me when deciding what free gifts and competition prizes to give away. It has also helped me when deciding what content to put in my magazine, so I am suiting the needs of my audience. Knowing the social class of my target audience has helped me when pricing my magazine. I am charging £2.99 for my magazine so it is affordable for my audience, especially for students as they won’t have a lot of spare money to spend on magazines.
