The audience for my media product would range from aspiring adolescents to working crea7ves up to about the age of 30. That’s es7mated at any age between 16-‐30 year olds. I think this because I’ve mainly used images of a young performer/producer, and I think 30 is about the maximum age for my targeted psychographic.
The majority of the targeted audience will be male, because I’ve represented my audience through a male model only. S7ll I think that the female por7on of my audience could appeal to an aGrac7ve and successful young man, because this is stereotypically considered desirable. I would have liked to use a female model looking back now, because it would have evened out the appeal for both male and female halves of the audience.
I’ve represented my audience using a white European male, so my magazine will expectedly appeal to this category the most. However my magazine would be published exclusively in the UK, which is known for it’s cultural diversity. Naturally aspects such as race are commonly not considered significant as UK residents become desensi7zed to any differences in appearance.
My audience may vary from middle class earners (the crea7ve kind), to unemployed aspiring students. They would not be the top earning class, because crea7ves don’t fit into this category. I’m targe7ng a younger audience too, meaning that the income bracket could be quite low. My niche audience are likely to be skilled young crea7ves with an average income (possibly university students).
Leading Edge audience:
The Creative ‘Crea7ves’ are the type to be constantly be producing new content and products that require a lot of ar7s7c input. They are constantly ac7ve, whether they are producing music, promo7ng gigs, organizing fes7vals, or crea7ng indie brands. They have no real inten7on to ‘make it’ and are more focused on the enjoyment that they get out of the crea7ve process. In my magazine ar7cle, I made sure to include details about how the ar7st really felt about the crea7ve process. This was so that I could appeal to this par7cular psychographic on a social level in which my audience could say ‘wow, I really relate to that’. Crea7ves also fit into the young demographic that I had in mind. They are the kind of person to be interested in other content I included, such as the ‘Ul7mate Guide’ for gig bookings and the indie genre musician list in the contents.
Leading Edge audience:
The DIYer The DIYer is quite similar to the crea7ve in many aspects. What sets them apart most is that the DIYer has the specific requirement of wan7ng to ‘make it’ in their crea7ve career. They are also much more tech-‐literate and can apply themselves to situa7ons that require a liGle more organiza7on and academic skill. This means they’re freelancers, but they succeed in what they do, puZng them in a slightly higher income bracket. DIYers are the kind of people that I think will appeal to my magazine’s graphics, because it has very tech oriented connota7ons. This is why I represented my ar7st using conven7ons seen in tech magazines. The colours blue, white and black used in my colour scheme are intertextual to that of social networking sites such as Facebook or TwiGer. Both social networks are important for tech/digital based business if the DIYer intends to be successful in appealing to their audience on a social level. This means that the DIYer especially will appeal to the asthe7cs of my media products. I also think they would appeal to the crea7ve content of my ar7cle; specifically the pull quote. The pull quote states that the ar7st wishes for his music to be considered popular, rela7ng to the DIYers’ need to ‘make it’ in their crea7ve career.
