Audience Profiling

From my audience research for my music magazine, the questions I’ve have asked have given me enough information about the feelings of my target audience towards a music magazine. I made sure the genders of my audience would be mix so I was careful as to ask more boys than girls. Majority of my audience were 18year olds. This suggests that my magazine would mainly be appealing to people around that age (18, 17 and 16year olds). I am sure these results from my research would help me create an appropriate magazine for my target audience because I feel that the people I asked answered the questions from my questionnaire sincerely. This is because, majority have read music magazines and have different tastes and opinions regarding it.

Majority of the questions I asked my target audience I feel will help me with the final production of my magazine. I gave them a list of artists they would prefer to see in their magazine and the reason why they preferred that specific artist. Equal amount of people chose Beyonce (4) and Aretha Franklin (4). They were both compared; Beyonce was said to have a great singing voice; Aretha Franklin was preferred by some because they loved her music which was gospel and soul. I also asked this question to see what genres of music my magazine would contain.

 Beyonce is an RnB music singer, Aretha is a soul and gospel music singer, and lastly Cheryl is a pop music singer. With these results, the magazine I produce will definitely contain Gospel and RnB music. The theme would mainly be Gospel. I also asked my audience if they would feel inspired by artists of their age. This will help me to know if I need to include any as part of images or entertainment which would be in my magazine that will appeal to my target audience. The majority of people I asked said Yes (6) and the rest (4) felt otherwise.

All of these answers to my questionnaire will help me in great detail, because I will be able to create a magazine which appeals to my audience greatly.
