Evaluation

Who would be the audience for your media product?

The target audience for my media product, becuase it is a music magazine focused on three genres that are quite similar, would be people who like music from indie artist's such as The Killers, Kings of Leon then into more heavier music such as Lostprophets and 30 Seconds to Mars. This would reach quite a wide audience due to the genres that are being represented so fans of each genre would be interested.
The age range of the audience is likely to be teenagers to young adults as I feel that more people around those particular age groups are more interested into this music than other age groups and these genres of music are much more vocal and speak their mind compared to other artist, however this magazine welcomes people of other age groups to read it.

How did you attract/address your audience?

I attracted my audience by having a magaizne which appeals to people that lover the genres my magazine is based around e.g. Rock, Indie and Metal. I have made sure that the magazine looks like it is associated with these particular genres by using an appropriate colour scheme (Red, White and Black) that represent these music groups and I have used a font on my text that is quite a sharp and slang type of text that looks like it would have something to do with rock etc... Having these features makes my magazine look eye-catching to people interested in this type of music and would catch their attention if they were to glance over to the magazine stands or racks in a store or supermarket.

My magazine is priced at £1.50, this is quite cheap for a magazine as magazines like Kerrang tend to cost around £2.00 +, this would be appealing to the age group my magazine is aimed at becuase it would be well within their money range. Also taking into account that Kerrang magazine is out every week and a magazine like Rocksounds that costs £4 is out every month, so with my magazine being cheap I would bring it out around 1 magazine a week.
