TARGET AUDIENCE

As part of my planning, prior to making my magazine, I asked a group of people with the same age as my target audience to fill out a questionnaire about what they wanted from a music magazine.

‘What features of a music magazine do you like most?’

From these results I can see that Interviews, Gossip and a Calender of events were the most popular sections in a music magazine. I used these finding and applied them to my own magazine.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Another question I asked was:

‘What attracts you most to the front cover of a music magazine?’

This bar chart of the results tells me that all 4 of these aspects attract peoples eye. However, Bright colours and Images are the most popular and are the most suited to a Pop music magazine. These findings also influenced me to use grab quotes to influence the reader into buying and reading my magazine.

TARGET AUDIENCE

After finishing the final product, I got some feedback telling me whether ‘Chart’ appealed to the right target audience.

What gender do you think my magazine appeals to most?Male…. Female….

What age do you think my magazine appeals to?0-12…. 13-18…. 19+….

These findings prove that a group of 20 people all think that my magazine appeals to a girl and 18 of them think it would be a 13-18 year old. A 13-18 year old girl was my ideal target audience, these results show that my magazine fulfilled this target.
