Question 4

Target Audience

My target audience is mainly known as main stream listeners. Main stream music is mainly found within the region of pop, rap, hip-hop and most of all R&B. these type of people are the ones who also read about fashion, especially the females as in these types of magazine they have beauty and fashion tips from their idols. I think that main stream is a type of style that every fan wants to have, I also think that this is an inspiration to them and that’s why it’s always been so popular. I think that the age group of my magazine would be from the age 14 – 30 because of the people that are featured in my magazine; this age group will definitely know who she is and what she’s about. My gender for my magazine is female, I picked the female gender because I am a female myself so that makes it easier to find and know what a main stream fan really wants in a magazine. This is also why I put a picture of a female on my pictures as females are more likely to be more interested in their female idols therefore, I know what people will be expecting when it comes to Rihanna. This is her music, her fashion sense and also her private life, for example, what’s happening in her love life. Girls also love to read about relationships who’s dating who so that’s why I also added a bit in with Beyoncé’s  relationship as she is also very popular to the main streams and everyone wants to know about her. I think the class for this magazine will fit in with working and middle class (B1 C1 C2). I picked these because main stream is primarily. The middle class are the ones who can afford to buy the things that I have shown I’m my magazine, e.g., clothing ranges, i-Tunes songs as these are quite luxurious. The working class people are the ones who look in the magazine and inspire to dress the way that their idols do but couldn’t buy everything that’s shown, also, the working class wouldn’t but songs off i-tunes as they can use a programme like LimeWire to download the same songs but for free. The psychographic profile of this social group is a mixture, but the main ones are Succeeders and inspirers. These are the main two because the succeeders are the ones who can afford the things in the magazine like I have recently said, and also the inspirers are the ones who want to be like the middle class as they can’t afford everything in the magazine but they look up to it. There are also a few individuals as they will be younger people reading my magazine and also because this age groups is hard to classify.
