Who's Who
This is my audience research. It is essentially a reader profile. Here I will tell you who will be interested in reading my magazine based on all the answers I got with my research group. In one of my questions on Survey Monkey; it asked whether you (the subject) would read a rock magazine. Based on my answers I will create a reader profile on a girl called Katie. This will give me proper representations for the reader profile as I will know the age, and gender of the person.
Katie is 23 years old and reads rock magazines on a regular basis. She has always loved rock music and always listens to the same genre ever since she was introduced to it. She has grown up with all of the mainstream rock and solo music artists, such as Greenday, Muse, Kings Of Leon and Biffy Clyro. She loves listening to all of their new tracks and albums and she looks up to them as role models. She is still studying at university at the moment meaning she doesn't have that much money to spend on her music so she saves up all that she can to buy her favourite songs online. She buys her music rather than donloads it for free as she believes that the artists should be paid and recognized for their hard work and effort. When buying her music she mainly uses 'Google Play' as it is much easier than going to the shops, and also much more effective as she owns all of the latest technology; her android phone which she saves up for during the year. She doesn't play any instruments but is keen on her music classes as it interests her. she is already thinking about starting to play the guitar. She has been to many music festivals as it is a popular thing to do at her age and plans to continue going when she's older. Music is a great part in her life as she studies a degree in it. she listenes to it all the time when she can; on the bus to uni, long car journeys home and when doing revision and before bed.
Reader Profile 2 - Joe
Joe is 17 and occasionally listens to rock music, but always trys to reads rock music magazines. The main artists he listens to are GreenDay and Of Mice & Men because he likes that heavier genre of rock music. He likes the heavy double bass use and the unique style of vocals that separates it from other genes such as Rap and Jazz. Rock music is somewhat calm and easy for the ears, but can be wild and vigorous which Joe likes. Joe is studying Sociology, Business BTEC, Maths and Ethics in 6th Form, meaning he has plenty time to listen to music when he is studying and doing coursework. It makes it easier for Joe to revise as he finds that more information goes in. It is his preferred learning style. Joe also has a part time job as a sales assistant in a clothes retailer. This is because he likes the speed of job, keeping him on the ball and making him more alert. This job means he has restricted time to listen to music at the weekends, but listens to it on the bus to and from his workplace, which calms him down after his shift. He is a quiet person who likes to keep himself to himself, meaning he can sit by himself and listen to music all day long, which he finds promotes him to study. He prefers buying albums as he likes to have something to touch and look at and he believes the artist should be rewarded for their hard work, instead of buying his music on the computer. The shops that he buys his music is in old record shops that give the music a unique feel.
