Audience Profile

My survey results from a sample of 30 people are as shown below:

How much would you pay for a magazine? 

How often should the magazine be released? 

Which would you prefer? 

What type of photography would you expect on a magazine front cover? 

What is your favourite music genre?

Results showed that my target audience would be females aged 16-25 - this fits in with what the brief references because that stated "a fun loving 16-25 year old mass market demographic". It is clear from the survey that people would prefer to see a magazine based on pop music, this is a very popular genre so I expected this result. The majority of people also mentioned a bright colour scheme so I will have to incorporate this into my work to fit with my audience profile. When taking photos for my website and magazine I will need to bear in mind the fact that 60% of my answers expect to see a mid-shot on the front cover. It is interesting that 43% of my sample said they would want a monthly magazine- I wasn't expecting this but will incorporate this detail into my media product. Clearly the results show that people would prefer popular artists interviews - I was hoping to instead have new artists interviews but I will work to create what the audience want in the magazine. This information will help to shape my magazine and website to what the audience wants and expects.

My target audience is females aged 16-25. They tend to like bright colours in the products and enjoy pop music and popular artists such as Ariana Grande and Shawn Mendes ( these are popular and well known artists at the minute). My results show that my audience wouldn't spend more than £4 on a magazine- this helps me to understand how much my media product should cost in order to attract my target audience.
