Audience Profile
In today's lesson we have been asked to create an audience profile for our nature magazine, analysing gender, age, class, price, colours, images, the contents of the magazine and any incentives which may be included within the purchase of the magazine. Once we have identified our target audience we have been asked to suggest where we have applied this in our magazine.
Overall my magazine is aimed at any person with an interest in nature. Although my magazine is aimed at both males and females we do except in some cases the stories are more focused towards females with many of its stories showing more focus on metaphorical meanings such as a comparison of life and growth. The age of my magazine would focus on an audience of younger adults due to its edgy fonts and contrasting colours, it shows an effort of the magazine creators to try and bring the topic of nature to a younger audience and make them aware of its beauty and existence and importance within the world. The magazines front cover portrays an edgy down played view on nature. The readers would most likely be of a middle class background due to the interests being rather focused on planting and the earth around them, and sociologists show that its rare for working class young adults to have interests in these hobbies. By researching into the price of other nature magazines and magazines in general which are currently on the market i have decided to price my magazine at £2.10 as i believe this is a reasonable price for the market which it is to be released into, and i have compared this with others which target theirs magazine to a similar audience. The colours used within the magazine are all colours which would be associated with the idea of nature; greens, browns and creams. The colours used are used against the back ground image to show contrast. To make them more visible amongst the busy background. The magazine reaches out to its target audience by using edgy fonts and using formats, layouts and presentation styled similar to those of other magazines which the age group are known to read. The inside content of the magazine as mentioned focus on metaphorical meanings in relation to the actual meanings. They teach of the beauty of a Natural thing, in today's technological world.The front cover includes a bar code and price, along with issue number and web URL address for the magazine. Again appealing to a method of communication which the target audience intend the magazine to appeal to; the media medium which is known as the Internet. A way in which i could improve the magazine to ensure it was focused upon the target audience intended would be to focus the magazine on other areas and aspects which this age group are known to show interests with. This apply to both the inside content which would therefore be shown in the cover line stories which are included on the front page.
