Reader profile

Below is a reader profile of the type of readers my magazine will probably attract:

Shawn Carter is 20 years of age. He is currently living by himself in London and is working hard to make a living. He frequently visits his parents and siblings. He has three younger siblings; one brother aged 16, and two sisters aged 15 and 13.

Shawn's hobbies include getting a game of football with his friends, playing videogames and most of all attending concerts by some of his favourite artists.

From a young age, Shawn has always had a love for Hip Hop. He doesn't only love the music but he appreciates evrything it has to offer. For example, Shawn speaks of Hip Hop as a part of himself. He says that he appreciates the culture behind the music, the beats and most of all the lyrical meaning behind some of the songs that he feels he can really relate to. His favourite artists are Jay Z, Kanye West, Eminem and Kid Cudi. As it is part of his hobby, Shawn makes sure that he can attend a lot of the concert performances by these artists. Shawn also looks forward to new breaking out artists within the genre of Hip Hop. He loves it when he finds a new artist that isn't very known, and he enjoys their music. For example Shawn has always listened to music by Tinie Tempah, Devlin and Jessie J, from when they were not very known until this point in time in which they've become a lot bigger. Shawn also loves films that relate similarly to the culture of Hip Hop. For instance, Shawn's favourite film is American Gangster, which relates quite well with some of the problems in todays world, especially with topics such as crime. It is also a film that inspired rapping sensation Jay Z who ended up creating an album with the same name, merely on the basis of inspiration. This is the type of thing that Shawn really respects and loves.

Questionaire on new media magazine: results

Market research is definitely a very important factor when it comes down to finding out some of the most crucial information, especially when it involves a project like my own. As a part of the course, I was sent out to find out people's view on current magazines available, and also to gain there opinion on what they believed would be good for my Hip Hop magazine. By creating a survey/questionairre, I was able to find out some execellent information that will ultimately help me complete the task ahead with a bit more ease. Within the servey, the main idea was to catch a glimpse of different peoples opinions on magazines as a whole; also to find out their preferences, and finally any additional advice they could provide for my magazine.



Below shows the questionairre along with the results:

Through my AS media course, I've come to the point in which I had to analyse a specific media music magazine in order to catch the jist of the different elements the magazine contains; ultimately leading to the end product.




As I evaluated the media magazine I managed to gain an in depth amount of information which helped me gather enough information on the magazine itself. Furthermore, as the class had to all present the powerpoint presentations created, that contained all the information found on each of the unique magazines provided, I was able to learn a lot more about how different magazines operate in the ways in which they design their products and the differences and similarities between them.
