Target Audience Research


I handed out the grid below to 30 people aged 16-20 in order to collect target audience research. 

Target Audience Research
I am making a new Vintage magazine. Therese are my ideas. Please indicate if each idea would  
appeal to you BY putting YES/NO. I would really appreciate any other comment.

Front Cover

  • Masthead will take up around 1/6th of the front page (usually in black, red or white)

  • Colours/font colours used are white, red, black

  • Cover stories  about a specific singer or band

  • Features may contain: album review, untold information, unseen pictures, birthday specials, articles, interviews.

  • Puffs / shapes saying about key feature/ interview.

  • Pugs contain the price and date, issue and barcode in the bottom right

  • individual male or female singers or group shots

  • Traditional genre representations

  • Locations: studio shots and a chicken farm! One under  abridge

  • Props include instruments

  • Costumes are all formal showing their importance to the music industry

  • individual male or female singers or group shots

  • CONTENTS PAGE

  • Pages about 130

  • Articles averaging between 2 and 10 pages

  • Layout of contents matches housestyle on front cover.

  • Images usually cover all of the columns.

  • The masthead is used on the contents page.

  • There is minimal white space on the contents page - full of images and text.

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

  • Headings/titles really bold

  • Banners

  • Usually small text

  • quote

  • Big images used of the band the article is about.

HOW do you consume magazines? Do you buy and read print or read online/ tablet/ mobile?
