evaluation question 4
The audience for my magazine is a particularly male audience, the magazine is aimed at a mainly male readership, around 75%, I try to reflect this audience throughout my magazine, with especially the look of my artist that I have photographed. I think it’s important that I have kept quite a select audience as although it is the artists in the magazine which should be influencing the people who buy it in some cases the audience can influence the magazine as it needs to be as up to date as possible. By keeping a select audience if they influence the magazine it will be influenced positively and help the magazine into the future. My audience is a quite up to date ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ style target, they would be passionate about music and listen to it because they enjoy it not because they are following any sort of crowd. The is not any set rules or path my audience should follow, they should all be quite individual characters who will dress in quite an alternative way, but are happy about how they dress and who they are.
Evaluation question 5
There is quite a broad age bracket for my magazine but apart from this there is quite an individual target audience which I have been trying to attract. The ‘indie scenesters’ are groups of people who always want to be ahead of the times, they are a head of what is ‘up to date’ carrying an alternative look and attitude around with them. My magazine concentrates on 100% British music which means that a lot of small and un recognised bands will be covered, it is the small bands that my target audience love, although they are passionate about the music that the larger band such as kasabian will be playing they love to support smaller bands that play because they love their music and not playing to generate a huge audience or commercial empire. The indie scenesters crave the adrenaline of seeing their favourite bands in tiny venues pumped up with a fast atmosphere. Although being a scenester is about individuality, there is certain trends that are followed, and I have tried to use these trends in my magazine to make my artists fit in to the genre so the audience would instantly be drawn in by them. My lead man is wearing skinny jeans which are worn religiously by the scenesters, he is also wearing a pair of vans which are a trend largely followed by the scenesters. Using the similar trend I hope to have achieved a look that will lure in my target audience easily, by just the look of the cover.
