Who would be the audience for your media product?

For my magazine, I chose to do it for ages 16-25, this is because I am within this age range and most people I asked for my questionnaire were in this age range so then I could see what sort of things they wanted in a magazine as well as knowing what attracts people towards a magazine.

This is a picture from google which is the target audience I am aiming at.
Also, modern trends and fashion is constantly changing so being surrounded by students at college helps me see what people are interested in and so this can keep the magazine in trend with the current trends of the age range. A lot of students get inspiration from celebrities and bands and are influenced by their fashion so some people might create bands because of their idols and the music they're influenced by. I think youth have a lot of attraction towards the 'latest' music and whats in the charts, so I made sure my magazine included this so people would be more likely to buy it.
The fashion celebrities are wearing and the hairstyles celebrities have, has a big influence with students and people are inspired by these. This means I have to make sure that the fashion and music is up to date so that people are interested in the magazine. I chose to do a medium close up of a female which is dressed in a denim shirt and her hair is nice and would attract people towards the front cover. I have airbrushed her slightly to make her look like a front cover model, which will attract people towards her but without her having loads of make up on.



I chose to do a pop magazine but I didn't use a colour theme of bright colours, this is mainly because then it appeals to other genres as well as pop. I used a colour theme of black, white, grey and red so that it also appealed to both genders in order to keep it open and not make it a gender specific magazine. I feel this also gave it a more sophisticated and mature look rather than appealing towards younger teenagers. I didn't want it to just appeal to one gender and wanted my magazine to target towards both males and females, which I have hopefully achieved.
My magazine appeals to all ethnicity's and won't offend any ethnicity.
