Question 4

Who would the audience be for your media product?

My Target AudienceAge: 16-25

Gender: Male

Social Group: Teenagers/Young adults

Ethnicity: Mostly Black but every ethnicity

Social Class: Low Class (Group E and D)

To show that my magazine has been created for the above target audience I have a main image of a male on the front cover and cover lines that appeal to them, the colour scheme appeals to my target audience as its appealing and catches the readers eye which represents rap. My magazine shows that it is aimed at young adults as the music artists portrayed are those of a specific ethnic origin (Black) who mainly represent rap and the urban culture. However, the magazine is aimed at males from all backgrounds and the social class is for lower class youngsters, this is shown by the price of the magazine being reasonable and affordable for students, and also my magazine shows that its for a lower class audience as Rap and urban culture is what a typical lower class male would like.

Contents Page

To show that my contents page is targeted at my target audience I have stuck to the colour scheme and used graffiti like designs to try and represent the urban culture. Furthermore I have used three images that each represent a different artist and lifestyle which attracts more readers as well as how the music is produced which may get more readers to take on the possibility of following the footsteps of some of the artists. More to this I have kept the font the same throughout so it doesn't look too messy and the presentation is still neat.

Double Page Spread

My double page spread appeals to young male adults, I have made my article image empowering by enlarging it and changing the colour scheme to a black and white finish, also the use of graffiti type heading shows that its for a young audience and its an informal interview. The colour scheme is also consistent throughout the magazine. This all interests males around the age of 16 to 25 as they aren't usually into flashy words or colours when there interested in rap.
