Audience research- main task/music magazine
For my music magazine the target
audience for the magazine will be 16-21 year olds (females) mainly targeted at
students that are passionate about ip Hop/Pop music as it will include
a variety of information and gossip for successful young students that have
chosen music as their future career path. The feedback that I got from the
audience thought so too, they have said that my magazine looks as if it would
aimed for the target audience aged 16 and over. They also said that my magazine
clearly looks like it is aimed for young females judging by the colours I have
used and females was the target audience I originally aimed it for.
Furthermore, my magazine is affordable and it is suited for the lifestyle of my
target audience for young females who could either be in school or be at work.
My magazine is the type of magazine that young teenagers/adult can read in
their spare time to catch up on the lifestyle of celebrities. Seeing as
teenagers have a lot of spare time in their hands, my magazine would be best
suited for those. It helps those who love pop music and like to keep up to date
with the celebrity world and also like to choose a career path in music. I have
got this through to my audience.
I like the fact that I have used a
consistent colour scheme throughout my magazine and how I have kept it plain
and simple for my audience to understand, none of the colours clash and it is
well and clear to read. These are some of the feedback that I got from my
audience. Also my magazine is different
from the other magazines out in the music industry as it will give the audience
a chance to win concert tickets and it would also include tips for those who
want to become a part of the music industry in the future. The audience thought
that it was useful for young students to become more involved with the music
industry and they don’t get much chance nowadays. They also liked the fact that
my layout is easy to comprehend and the fact that I have used familiar
successful artists name on my front cover that I know my target audience would
be interested in. The model that I’ve used is looking directly at the camera
and this shows that she is straight away engaging with my audience.
There are certain areas of my
magazine that needs to be improved that my audience think so too; I could have
used a different effect or no effect at all as it is confusing as to what the
genre of my magazine is as it looks more R&B than pop.
