Evaluation Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

The target audience for my magazine is teenage boys around 13-16, whilst researching on UK tribe these would come under the heading mainstreamers. Which can include Ravers, Townies, Chavs, Boy Racers, Sports Junkies, Street Rats & Casuals.

This is a summary of the mainstreamer's interests...

It shows that these type of boys enjoy the television and shopping in high street stores such as River Island. The left hand side picture shows that these boys are quite heavy on magazine reading however the only put off here is that they are mainly reading magazines that include female women in them, even though my magazine is a music magazine I have included a poster of a female artist (as shown below) to attract male readers. On the other hand there is a lack of young male magazines which could be the reason for them not reading music ones. They are also heavy on radio showing they have key interests in the mainstream music.

Here I have drawn a cartoon picture of what my ideal reader would look like. They are wearing a baseball cap, a branded hoodie, jeans and nike trainers. This therefore does fit in with the interests UK tribe provided as they want to look good and fresh by wearing clothing with designer lables on them.
