Who would be the audience for your media product? How did you attract/address your audience?

The target audience for this magazine is mainly for people who are fans of indie music and rock music. It also features other types of genres such as rap and pop which can be seen on the puffs but the main genre is indie.
I believe the main audience will be male but some women may decide to purchase the magazine. I think mainly only men will buy this magazine because they are suited more to the rock/indie genre of music. While many females prefer pop music.
I also believe this magazine could suit from teenagers to adults as the text in it is informative but is also informal which may suit the younger audience.
Other reasons why the audience may be enticed are the puffs showing other features in the magazine. As well as competitions and free giveaways to entice the audience in to wanting to buy the magazine more.
The audiences needs my have been addressed by using fonts, styles and language which they can associate with. For example the headline on my magazine may be seen as humourous to some of the audience. The language being informal in the double page spread may also attract the audience who arent wanting to read a formal story.
I have also found out what the audience wanted by conducting a questionaire and polls to find out what their opinion on music magazines are and what makes them want to purchase them.
