Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience for my music magazine that I have produced would be teenagers of around 16-18. This is because I believe current and upcoming music is most appealing to teenagers and young adults of this age as it is a largely circulated social stereotype that teenagers enjoy listening to music with friends in their free time.

Furthermore, my magazine would be specifically targeted towards those with a keen passion and interest for American pop music. This is because the purpose and focus of my publication is ‘bringing the best music from the states’ as indicated in the banner at the top of my front cover. The colour scheme of my magazine is cohesive with the target of reader’s with an interest in American music as they are the colours of the American flag; red, white and blue of which I used consistently throughout the pages of my publication. This, primarily, reinforces the main theme and purpose of my magazine, though these are also bright, dynamic colours that attract a younger teenage audience. 

The types of artists featured within my music magazine are also aimed towards  teenagers, such as ‘Rihanna’ and ‘Lady Gaga’, as these are both current worldwide megastars meaning that they are hugely recognized and extremely popular leading artists of the music industry who are largely followed by a big teenage fan base. The cover star of the issue I have produced is also majorly appealing to a teenage audience as my subject is both young and attractive (of a similar age to that of my target audience). She is also non-exclusive against a particular gender as boys will find her physically attractive, enticing them read on whilst girls with appreciate her beauty and talent and look up to her as a role model.
