Evaluation Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

My media product will mainly be targeting teenagers from 15 to 17 years of age because my magazine interviews, reviews, gigs and concerts. This is why I have featured a model that is the same age as my target audience on my front cover to attract teenagers. Also, the fact that my model is presented as a female singer and somewhat creates sex appeal by its use of prop and positioning, this may attract a male audience as well.

Ethnically, my magazine tries to target a mixed set of audiences. My magazine promotes pop and R&B music, so together they target Caucasian, Black and Asian ethnicities as seen on my audience research results. Most of them tend to have more of an interest in R&B but because I have used a Caucasian model on my front cover it may be that my magazine might target more of a Caucasian female audience. I say this because artists in the R&B genre are often black.
