Below is a video describing the social group audience for my media product:
Above is what a female who would reads my magazine is most likely to look like.
When considering the audience for my media product, its not just about the social groups its about the gender and the age. I personally feel that the target age is those 15-35, one reason for this is because of the mode of adress, some swear words occur within the article, these words would not be approprate for a younger audience however those 15-35 are most likely to swear. The content of the story is not acceptable fr those younger than 15, this is because it implies that school sucks and you should drop out, although those 15-16 are still in compulsory school soon they will longer be. Another reason or this to be the age target is because those younger would not be aware of the music and the language and topics in the songs can be unacceptable for them. Along with this they would not yet have found there style as they are still growing up. The age of the artists in the images range from 15-28 which implies that the age target is 15+ however it is still available for those below 15 to read it.
The gender that my magazine is aimed at is both male and female as the genre metal/rock is a mixed genre. The images display both male and female therefore catering to both. However there are more images of females than males, some would say that this magazine is more aimed at girs because of this but this is an example of gaze theory, four attractive girls would bring in a male audience. The colours used are red,black and yellow all three colours that can be associated with both male and female. The story itself is aimed at both genders at talks about issues at school and their experiences at school, things that both male and female can relate to.
