Question 4 of my Evaluation

1. QUESTION 4
WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR YOUR MEDIA
PRODUCT?

2. Main Audience
 The main audience for my media product are
teenagers between the ages of 13-19. The reason for
this is because my magazine is an alternative rock
magazine and my research has shown that people of
this age group listen to alternative rock.

3. How did I attract the
audience?
 I have made sure my magazine appeals to this age
group by making the front page stand out by using a
very edgy font for my masthead and also making every
other feature on the magazine bold to ensure it stands
out.
 A similar magazine to my own, Kerrang!, also has a
similar audience to my own and I have tried to replicate
the conventions they used to appeal to my audience
just as much as they do.

4. Multi-Media Platform
 Also, I have appealed to this age group by making my
media product multi-platform. My media product will be
available online, smart phones and tablets as well as a
magazine. This is because most teenagers do not go
out and buy magazines, so increasing the accessibility
by making it available on these other platforms will
appeal to my target audience and ensure that more
people buy my magazine, whether it be a hard copy or
online.

5. Tedious
 To ensure that my audience do not lose interest in my
media product, I will offer free posters, gifts etc. in
every issue and I will also include a main feature in
every issue, the first being ‘TOP 100 ALT ROCK
SONGS EVER’.
