Question 4: Who would be the audience for your media product?

The target audience my magazine is aimed at, is people who listen to rock/metal music. These sorts of people are known as "metalheads" when they are at a concert. This means to "head bang" to the music.

They wouldn't normally shop for clothes in their oprdinary high street shops as many of them do not sell the band t-shirts or big leather boots. This means that they would usually shop online for their clothes. Many "metalheads" revolve their life around music. Their favourite TV programs/channels would be MTV, Kerrang and Scuzz. These are music channels which normally play music from rock/metal bands.
As "metalheads" do not have the time for hygiene or cooking their own food, they will tend to eat takeaways and ready meals. They are known for not bothering about their appearence and may only spray deodrant once a day.

They would buy my magazine because of the offers of new gigs and cheap instruments. Most of these people will most certainly play a type of instrument so this is an offer they cannot decline. For drummers, the offer of new and improved double bass drum pedals, this would be appealing to them. The information to new and best gigs are being offered in this magazine so the people who buy the magazine will have inside inforamation to what bands are playing, where and when. Also, the discount of tickets is avaliable when the magazine is bought. The title/masthead/cover of my magazine should attract my audience because it is colourful and stands out to other magazines. The picture on the front cover draws the audience in by the bright lighting and simple composition.
