Target Audience

The audience for my media product would be young girls aged 15-20 years old, this is because i think that my magazine is more appealing to this audience. As firstly all of the main images in my magazine are of girls in this age group, so the audience would feel they can relate more to the magazine and be more attracted to it. It also still contains a lot of the typical conventions of a R&B/hip-hop magazine but is just made more feminine so challenges these conventions to enable the magazine to appeal to a different audience. Magazine of this genre usually have much more masculine features with a well known male artist on the cover, where as mine is more feminine with the image of a female singer. This creates the opportunity for a magazine of this genre to appeal to a different target audience instead of following the typical conventions.

Also from researching different articles covered on the double page spread, gave me ideas as to what to include in my intereview. Conducting my questionnaire also helped me decide what sort of questions my target audience would be interested in reading about.
