Question 4

4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

The audience for my magazine would be teenagers and some young adults. I have done this by showing conventions on my media product that could appeal to the target audience. For example, on my media product I have included subheadings that have people such as Miley Cyrus, Coldplay and Paramore on the cover. This makes it clear to the target audience that it is for them as it includes people that they would want to read about. 

It relates to them because of the way the magazine has been approached. The media product has an urban/ mature viewing by using the colours red, black and white. These are all harsh colours that stand out but could be the colours that teenagers and young adults could relate to. 

 The imagery used could also be seen as relating to teenagers because the main image is a teenager. The main image also shows the way a teenager could be represented by the clothing and the make-up. 

Finally, the music genre itself can also relate to teenagers. With it being a pop and rock music genre, the top 40 is displayed on the front because it is mostly what teens and young adults listen to.
