Research Into Target Audience- Primary

Audience response power point  
View more presentations from Paigenotpage.

The research onto my target audience has shown that a similar layout and coulour scheme for my magazine would be affective as  it reflects the genre of the music included.
The images also used have shown to be affective by attracting the attention of the audience on numerous occasions.

A few people gave the same response to he front cover as it reflects the genre of music, through the colour scheme and layout. Therefor i think a similar layout and colours would be effective to attract my target audience

Audience Profile

Kerrang! Aim their music magazine at a target audience is . . .

Kerrang! is actually really young with a median age of 22. Having a younger profile is a big advantage as traditionally this age group is elusive (and expensive) to reach. As well as music releases this makes Kerrang! perfect for film and games, and also mobile technology and government messages.

readers are the heaviest music consumers purchasing over 6 albums per month on average (53% more than the national average) and 8 times more likely to spend over £200 a year on albums. The readers are also 5.5 times more likely to attend a rock gig.



My target audience, I am going to aim my music magazine at a target audience aged around 15-25 but mainly based towards females. As there is no Music/ rock magazines that focus on a female audience. I think that creating a magazine aimed at females will help to open up the rock genre as it is a male dominated, creating a magazine to help attract attention from a less mainstream audience.

Imagery such as this will help inspire  my magazine content as house style as colour schemes would be slightly different, more pink/ purple. It would also have more content of up and coming female artists which is more appealing to females that may aspire to be like their favorite artists.

My Ideas. . .

I so far have decided to do a music magazine, based on rock and metal music. I plan to look at similar products such as Kerrang and NME magazines, to gain ideas of house styles and features within these magazines. I will also research other genres of magazines to show the differences in how the producers of the magazines try to cater for different target audiences.
