EvaluationQuestion 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

Originally, my initial idea was to target young adults of both genders aged between 14 and 18 who like the rock pop genre.

I am sticking with this initial idea as I feel my magazine fulfils the needs of this audience.

Front cover I feel that my front cover is focused on targeting my chosen audience. This is because the magazine appears slightly informal and relaxed whilst my chosen colour scheme not only represents the genre; but also makes the magazine more appealing to teenagers as it is more sophisticated than magazines targeted for younger ages. It is not uniform and doesn't not use a boring colour scheme such as white and black which is more associated with magazines for the older generation. Moreover, I think that it will appeal to both genders as the colour scheme is gender neutral and the coverlines are not girly gossip.

Contents PageAgain my contents page suits my target audience. The layout is informal and quirky which makes it more eye catching and makes the read want to see more. The actual text is also informal and contains humour which is more appealing to young adults. Furthermore my colour scheme is gender colour neutral and so will draw the attention of both genders. The images connote the rock genre whilst some of the articles promote the pop genre and therefore it satisfies my chosen genre.

Double Page SpreadMy double page spread appeals more to those who like the rock genre rather than pop and this is purely because the band I interviewed were a rock band. However, it still satisfies both

genders as even though the dark colours would appeal more to a male, the fact that the main image is of a female singer will

appeal to the females. The article is informal and has a storyline format which makes it more suitable for young adults but also

contains humour to mirror the tone set from the contents page.
