Who would be the audience for my media

product?

From doing the research for my country music magazine I came to the conclusion of aiming it at the age range of 15 year old females to early 20’s . I feel this range is appropriate for my target audience as it is also the age range that the artist featured in the magazine aim their music at. The magazine would be published monthly and be priced at £2.00 I have priced it at this as it is a new magazine an therefore don’t ant people to be put off by the price but also because I am aiming my magazine as 15- early 20 year olds which means that they are either students or on very low pay which in theory means that they wont have much to spend on luxury products such as magazine therefore the low price is reasonable for the target audience.The target audience would be interested in artist such as Kacey Musgrave’s, Jana Kramer, Taylor swift, Danielle Bradbury and Hater Hayes which are all young country artists. They would be interested in these artists, as I said before they are also who the artists aim their music at and therefore they would want to read up on the latest news about them. Dixieland would appeal to the country music fan ‘ niche’ audience as it would be similar to Country weekly and Maverick magazine which are also aimed at country music fans. I feel I have styled my model right for the country music genre and therefore will attract the right readership. The photography used is similar to that of the recognised Tumblr photographs which was also another aspect that I bought into the magazine as it is a popular sight for uploading edited photographs which is mainly used by female teens/ young adults as found out in my research. This element helped me to attract the female audience that I was aiming the magazine at but also gave it a unique edge to the magazine as usually magazines don’t edit their photography in the recognised Tumblr style this makes the magazine stand out from existing magazines. Tumblr is also used by some of the country artist such as Taylor swift which would therefore attract her followers on the site who would then purchase the magazine. Tumblr kids was also the UK tribes group that most for my magazine after doing research making this the suitable audience that I was to aim my magazine at.

Audience profile:Style: Their style will be mostly casual yet trendy, following the fashion of current young country artists they would style their hair in curled look in order to reflect the look of most female country artists such as Taylor Swift and Danielle Bradbery. Outfits would include shorts, tied up tees, flower headband or cowboy hats and western cowboy boots. Make up would be minimal/ natural looking to bring across the naturally pretty look that is stereotyped from country girl.

Pass times: My target audience are the people who want to spend time taking and editing photos. They’d like to watch the TV program Nashville which includes all the famous places and locations in the country music capital of the world but also a variety of country music styles played through out the show.

Musical Preference: They have a taste for country music which has a vast variety of styles such as country pop and rock. They may also be into acoustic music as one of the most frequently used country music instruments is the guitar. They would be into singers such as Taylor swift (before she went into the POP mainstream genre) Kacey Musgrave’s and Jana Kramer who all release fun up beat country music about relationships and life challenges which are aimed at teens and young adults.

Favourite stores: shops that they would shop at would include forever 21 which bring out country inspired clothing from America each summer including the cowboy boots and hats shorts and sun dresses. They Tumblr photography audience from my magazine would shop at camera stores to purchase the latest high end cameras to do some creative photography work to then edit.
