HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA

PRODUCT REPRESENT

PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?

TARGET AUDIENCE

My target audience for my magazine was 15 – 25

year olds of both genders. My magazine was

targeted at an audience who have an interest in

rock genre music and style. I based my magazine

on rock magazines such as Kerrang and

Rocksound and aimed for my target audience for

my magazine to be the same as theirs.

WHO IS BEING REPRESENTED IN MY

MAGAZINE?

In my magazine I represented different rock

genre based artists and fans. An example of this

was my cover star on my front cover magazine.

She was represented to be a ‘rock star’ who was

the main attraction and headline for that issue of

my magazine. I used a real rock genre band

called ‘Imperium’ on my double page spread

which was represented to be a popular and

famous band and known to the readers. Lastly,

the pictures I used on my content page included

images of fans which readers could relate and

identify with.

ISOLATED WHAT AUDIENCE?

I made it quite clear that my target audience for

my magazine was only aimed at fans of rock

based music and styles. I seemed to isolate males

as my target audience based on what I included

in my magazine. For example, my cover star was

of female ‘rock star’ and related and would

attract females of the target audience to aspire to

be like her. Also, on my double page spread I

used a rock genre boy band which could more aim

and attract female readers of Keruption as they

are more likely to be a fan of them however, male

readers of my magazine may aspire to be like

them and create their own band.
