Evaluation Activity 4.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

When I started making my magazine I immediately had an idea of the type of magazine I wanted to make, for example the genre of it. I knew I wanted to make a music based around R&B music, and so I had to look into how I was going to attract the right target audience. I wanted to attract the younger generation, as I do not think that in general many people from the older generation would like R&B music.

From looking at other magazines, it is obvious that the genre is immediately conveyed through the image on the front. For example, this issue of Q magazine with 'THE KILLERS', everyone knows they are rock/pop group, and so when you immediately look at the cover, you relate the magazine to that genre. So with my magazine I put my picture of 'Christie' on the front, who people would know as an R&B artist, and so like real magazines, people would instantly assosaite my magazine with the R&B genre.
