Evaluation Question 2) Who would be the audience to you media product?

The theme of my magazine is the music genre Indie Rock. I have chosen this theme as this is my favourite music genre so I believe that I will enjoy making this magazine and I will be able to work easily at creating the magazine and images involved as I believe I have a wide knowledge on this music genre. Having experienced this music genre with concert crowds and other people being fans, I have a good idea on what the target audience of my magazine will be.

The target audience for my magazine is anyone who is interested in indie. From experience, I believe that this involve people of an age from about 16 to 50, I think that this could exceed these ages but I think these are the main guidelines for the age of my target audience. I think these are the perfect ages as when attending bands like Arctic Monkeys concerts the majority of the audience are this age as I believe they are filled with older people who are experience with the music genre or younger people who are into the style of the band’s music or clothing. I also believe that the music genre is quite intelligent as the lyrics sung in the songs are very advanced so I believe these ages are old enough for the lyrics to be understood.

I think that regarding the images I am using in my magazine that it would be aimed at both genders but maybe more towards female. This is because the images being used are mostly of very handsome male models that would attract the eye of female interest, but the images have also been made to not be too provocative towards females allowing male attention to be caught to with the article headings. I think both genders will be attracted to my magazine as I believe the images, unlike pop magazines, are very neutral as they are of neither gender in a provocative and flirty way but instead very neutral and represents the music genre way more than just setting out to attract the eyes of either gender. I believe the colours used are very neutral between genders which also allow anyone to see it and pick it up. I also think the name of my magazine is very gender neutral as I think the name 'Douvan' is very different to names like 'Boys Base' or 'Girl Corner' which suggests a gender aim where's as the word 'Douvan' suggests that the magazine is aimed at neither gender but both.
