How did you attract/address your audience?
I addressed my audience firstly by getting people to take a survey answering questions about what they like. I then went on to calculate my results and came up with my answers. A lot of the girls said they liked pink and purple so i tried to incorporate this as much as possible on the front cover to attract them in. My survey also showed that girls like boy bands and so I created my own, calling them the new one direction. This will also attract my audience as they are young girls who love boys and also love one direction. I used the conventions of a typical magazine like glamour. I also used bright colours and pictures that look directly at my audience to pull them in.
What kind of media institution would distribute your media product why?
A company like IPC or Bauer media as they are both very big companies. Bauer media distribute magazines and music channels and IPC distribute a wide range of magazines. IPC is an outstanding company which distributes many big magazines of all genres. However, if I had to choose one company I would choose Bauer media as they produce a lot of music magazines and they also have a line of music channels. So they have a wide knowledge of music and could help advertise and promote my magazine in the right way.
Furthermore, IPC are an amazing company that are specifically for producing magazine, they also have all different types of genres of magazines. Unlike Bauer. Bauer have a good knowledge of music, however, not a great knowledge of producing music magazines. Either company that I would chose to produce my magazine would do a good job. However, now that I have looked over both companies I would choose IPC as they do not have a Pop magazine like mine so they wouldn’t have to compete with their own type of magazine.
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
My magazine represents my particular social group because the group that I chose is young girls between the ages of 15 to 25. This allows me to use very girly colours such as pink and purple. The social group that I want to mainly attract is a very girly kind of girl. The type of girl that would listen to boy bands and girls like Miley Cyrus. They would be young, predominantly white typically in full time education. They don’t have much money to spend spare but they have enough a month to buy my magazine. The girl would typically spend time with her friends and socialize with other music fans.
