Question 4; Who would be the audience for your media product.

The target audience for the magazine I have created 'Rock Sounds' would be between 16 - 25 year old's and it is aimed at both females and males that have any interest in rock music as my magazine covers all types of rock from Indie to Heavy Metal. As my magazine is aimed at 16 - 25 year old's I wouldn't expect them to have a high expendable income as this age is the most common for students, there is also few 16 - 25 year old's in highly paid jobs based on the current economy. I have priced my magazine fairly cheaply so that they will be able to afford it.

My cover model is a young attractive female in a typical 'Rock Chick' outfit, this allows both males and females to relate to my magazine and find it appealing. The men find her attractive because of the amount of flesh that is shown in the cover image as well as the choice of outfit. They may also be interested in her attitude as she has a fun, in your face kind of attitude but also gives the impression that she is much more one of the lads rather than one of the modern girls. She is a girl that is into rock music and has the personality that goes with it, as oppose to someone who is labelled as 'girly'. The females will also find her interesting as they can relate to her and they can use her as a role model for looks, make-up and being individual. The use of bold colours and text on the front allowing the target audience to be attracted to it and it would ease them if it is instantly recognisable and is easy to find when they are on the go and in a rush.

The social groups that a represented in my magazine are broadly ranged because of its varied content of Rock Music and the age of my target audience. The social groups may be, College Students, University Students, Musicians, Goth's, However the the age is also a social group because age 16 - 18 is going to have different interests to 23-25 and males and females are also going to have different interests. The images I have used are different for the 'Rock Genre' as they are of a female and this is genre of music that dominated by males. However mise en scene of the image fits with the genre of the music.
