Evaluation part 5


My magazine is mainly targeted at teenage boys but a fair amount of teenage girls would also be interested in it. I am targeting at this at this audience because it is primarily young people who listen to this sort of music. There are also a larger number of boys who listen to this music than there is girls.

The class would be lower to lower middle class because anyone of a higher class would view themselves as more cultured and not enjoy listening to the music included in the magazine. These are the demographics for my magazine.

The main psychographic would obviously be anybody who listened to the hardcore or metal genre. Not many other psychographics would influence the people who read the magazine.

A lot of the advertising would be for music or other things that young people would be interested in like video games and fast food. There would be no point in advertising jewellery or a new car as my target demographic would not be interested in it.

 

My magazine would attract the audience by featuring articles from the bands that they are interested in. The bright colours of the masthead and the featured writing would make people notice the magazine from a distance and maybe make them want to take a closer look.

The offers inside the magazine such as signed posters and some money off next weeks issue may make people inclined to buy it or even subscribe. Because the magazine was written by someone who is the age of the target audience, the magazines features language which isn’t too complicated for young people and if it features slang then the demographic will be familiar with it.
