EVALUTATION.
Part 4.
Who would be the audience for your media product?


My magazine had all intentions on attracting both male and female genders equally, however I do feel that my final front cover will attract the male audience more than female. Subconsciously I think  hip-hop magazines, not necessarily the genre over all, has gradually become more a appealing to men rather than women. I think this because of the simple fact that the percentage of covers with a very revealing women is a lot higher than the percentage of men (despite being revealed or not) on a cover. I want my magazine to sell to its full potential so have featured a revealing woman on the cover.
I wanted my age range to be as wide as possible in order to be success in sales figures however I found this was very difficult being quite a narrow age ranged genre. I chose my range to be from 15-30, this concerned me due to the fact I had both adults and minors however adjusting the cover to fit the two became no issue at all. I chose 15 as my youngest as that's when personally I experienced myself and peers having a strong interest in hip-hop, in the modern society of today children a lot younger than 15 do listen to hip-hop music, however I believe that children under 15 years of age being exposed to this is wrong. I chose 30 as my oldest as I feel that's the age when people mature and drift away from hip-hop, however having audience members older than this would be a bonus.


 My magazine will no doubt have many different classes on completely different levels of income. I feel that the majority of the readers will be working class and due to the wide age range there may be some element of skilled working class people that are in their early thirties. As I have mentioned earlier I would like my magazine to appeal to all kinds of audiences regardless of their socio-economic status.
