question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

The target audience of my magazine are males and females aged 16-25.I want a unisex audience , to get this my magazine would have both male and female artists featured in the magazine and i would make the magazine more versatile by including articles, which both genders would like.I also used a basic colour scheme , and chose to not use stereotypical colours for a specific gender e.g pink for females.The audience for my magazine are indie style and to make my product fit them ,i have included gigs, style and live music references.I mainly listen to this style of music and because i am in the age group of my taget audience i feel i would be able to relate the magazine to the consumer.

In popular music, independent music, often shortened to indie music or "indie", is a term used to describe independence from major commercial record labels and an autonomous, do it yourself approach to recording and publishing.



This is the style my audience will wear and like to see in the magazine.Smart casual look with the blazer ,tie and skinny jeans or the check shirt and ray bans retro glasses.

Socio economic groups




The typical Faze reader would be;

A male or female who like to dress indie,even though they havent got a lot of money , they would care about their appearance potraying a smart look.They are socially aware of the top bands (using magazine to check this ) liking to keep uptodate with the latest trends.They would purchase their clothes from vintage shops, always in search for a bargain, however appreciate high street clothes from Urban Outfitters , zara and Topshop.Their main hobby would be going to gigs or festivals enjoying them with groups of friends.
