After conducting my audience research I have come to the conclusion that my audience would consist mostly of people aged 15-25, this is due to the recent creation of the genre meaning only a small age range shows interest in the style of music but this may benefit the magazine due to the fact that the magazine can target 100% of Grime fans. My audience would consist of a high majority of males due to them wishing to live the glorified lifestyle of many grime artists and often as they use music as a way to gain and express power over others, especially fellow Grime listeners. Despite this, due to Grime being a popular genre of music at parties there is also a significant enough female following to warrant including them as a potential audience for the magazine. When designing and creating my magazine I was careful to consider what I had learnt in my audience research, combining this with styles preferred by listeners of Grime in clothing and lifestyles I chose for a typically manly theme that may be described as 'hard edged'. This is done to appeal to the readers who may feel as though they have reputations to keep amongst friends or in their society and so live a lifestyle seen by the majority of society as 'aggressive', these types of people may only associate themselves with something if it furthers their reputation, hence why this type of styling is necessary and beneficial.
A typical reader may be interested in the following things:
- Football
- The North face, Nike, Adidas, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Stone Island, Burberry, Armani, Ralph Lauren
- Making money
- Partying
- Cars
These things are what typical Grime fans share an interest in, for the clothing brands especially the designer ones, they may not known to be associated with young people but fashion is a big statement in Grime music and flaunting expensive clothes comes with this.
This answer lacks the required detail and would not secure a pass mark. Look at Elliott Woodwards work to see how to answer this question.
