Question 4 - Who would be the audience for your media product?

My media product I have produced is aimed at girls in the age range of 11-16. I have created my media product so that it fits this age range because most pop genre magazines are usually aimed at these types of people as these are the people that are most interested in reading upon their favourite singers/bands. They would want to read and buy my magazine because the way in which I have set out my magazine and the colours I have used appeal to a younger audience; I have not made my magazine look sophisticated or formal because this is not what 12-16 year olds are going to want to look at if they’re reading about celebrity gossip etc. 

Going back to my survey I carried out on Survey Monkey I found out that 75% of people that answered my first question ‘Are you male or female?’ were female.


I also found out that in total 60% of the people that answered my second question ‘What is your age?’ were ranging from 8-16.

Question 5 - How did you attract/address your audience?

The way in which I attracted my audience was by using the correct colours and not being too formal in the way that I created my magazine. I believe that my magazine holds the reader’s attention because there is a lot going on on the front cover and it looks quite busy; meaning that they have a lot to look at and choose from. As well as this front cover, on the contents page I added a lot of stories that will appeal to the audience as it is artists they like. I know they like these artists from producing my survey on Survey Monkey. 

On the front cover I added photos and headlines of One Direction stories, 35% of people who answered my survey said that One Direction was there favourite artist. As well as this, Little Mix was also one of the top bands to be liked with 25% of people saying that it was their favourite artist/band and because my front cover includes a girl band of four females, this is similar in the way that Little Mix are.


I interview two females which I knew were into pop music so I could find out feedback from my magazine and see what the general public thought of my magazine. I have added the links for YouTube and GoAnimate below.
