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

My Questionnaire showed me that for the small percentage that purchased music magazines, the reason for that was a STRONG INTEREST IN MUSIC. So this showed me that for my music magazine I was not to challenge the conventions too much because that risks losing the small percent that read the music magazines.

The factors that would have considered the people who took my questionnaire to purchase a music magazine are:

• Less text
• More Images
• New Artists

This underlines the changes that I had to make when producing my music magazine to make it more appealing and convince more people to purchase my magazine.

The reasons that people aren't purchasing music magazines according to my questionnaire are:

• Too much text
• Boring

These reasons are related to the reasons that would consider the people to purchase music magazines, too much text related to less text and more images and new artists related to boring because they are bored of seeing the same artists on each issue.

The most preferred platform to read music magazines is:

• Laptop/Computer

This suggests to me more of a teenager to young adult audience would be appropriate for my music magazine because of the use of technology which inspired me to use a QR code on my double page spread.

XXL reader profile

This is the reader profile for XXL magazine that distributes rap magazines. This can help me get an idea of what type of reader profile and target audience read rap magazines.

This shows me that it is mostly males between the age of 25-29 that read rap magazines. This would be slightly different for my music magazine because I would have changed my age range to 18-25 because of the fact that younger people completed my questionnaire and this reader profile shows that young adults mostly read rap magazines.



My reader profile for my magazine would be:

• Gender - Male
• Age - 18-25
• Income - Minimum wage
• Ethnicity - Caucasian

This reader profile is information from my questionnaire and also what I know about the typical audience of rap magazines and brought them together to create the profile. This is who the audience are most likely to be because of the results of my questionnaire and also because I have seen people in shops around the boundaries of the profile I made purchasing rap magazines.
