Who would be the audience for your media product?
The target audience for my magazine is male and females aged between 15- 35 years old. The audience of my music magazine is the same target audience near enough as Mix Mag. I chose to aim my magazine at this audience because I feel it is a wide ranged audience which has potential. There is no magazine out there that connects festivals/indie/dance/pop altogether therefore it appeals to a wide audience. I designed a survey using Survey monkey which I posted onto Facebook and Twitter. I posted it to my social network sites because this relates to my target audience. I collected my responses and analysed them carefully.
By looking at the response alot more males took part in my survey and nearly all were between the ages of 15-20. Over half of my responses said that the front cover appeals to them and stated because of 'bright colours' 'music genre' 'Reem' 'nice layout' etc. I carefully chose the artists on the front that I have included to fit in well with not only the genre but my target audience's most popular/famous artists. I used the mast head 'Just Reem' due to the fact over the past year the word 'Reem' has been used to describe how good something is. The word 'Reem' originates from club promoter, Joey Essex. I wanted to make my magazine up to date and modern with the new slang/colloquial language.
As the survey progressed I was able to see why my magazine appeals to them. Alot of people were saying, good price, good cover photo, the fact they get a free Example CD, competitions etc. These are all the codes and conventions which I used on my magazine to attract and appeal my target audience which has seemed to have been proven.
100% off all people surveyed said that they feel the magazine flows well which is key when creating and designing a music magazine. When asking whether the contents page appeals to them 6 out of 7 said yes.
Lastly I asked about my double page spread and if they did want to read it, why?. Alot of the response said it look interesting and explains it flows well with the genre of the magazine and has a good layout.
