Who would be the audience for your media product?

The intended target audience for my media product are young girls between the ages 11-18 years old. I have included conventions that will attract my target readership and will also enable them to relate to the music magazine in many ways. The focal image on the front cover is of a female teenager and this is one way the demographic are able to appeal to my target audience; Bella (focal image) is the same/similar age group to the target readership and this will hopefully attract them in purchasing the publication.

• There is a gap in the market for this demographic as there are not as many music magazines for this social group. I have used stereotypical representations of this social group; one way is the colours and brightness used in my music magazine; this social group is known as the ‘innocence of age’ and so the bright colours would represent the happiness and purity. If my media product was aimed at an older age group, I would have used neutral, simple colours which will more likely to appeal to them.

My publication will more likely to appeal to girls rather than boys. This is because, I have used stereotypical representations of girls and have applied it to my magazine. For example, colours such as pink and yellow are included. This also implies that my magazine is mainstream as it is adhering to the stereotypical representations of girls/teenagers as stated above.
