Audience Research

Audience Research - NME Magazine

NME stands for the New Musical Express, it is owned by IPC Media, this is a massive company who own a variety of other magazines such as: Look, Tv Times, Country Life, Marie Claire, Women and Home and many more.

Target audience of NME – Averages

74% of Males are known to read this magazine, whereas only 26% are female. The average age of audiences reading this magazine was a young adult, averaging the age of 23. 42% of the audiences reading this magazine was students, these facts are important in my research as they help me to identify what age range I should make my magazine, helping me into deciding whether it should be formal/informal, what types of articles I should include etc. Also knowing that more males are attracted to this magazine than females I can decide whether I should have a male or female model on the cover, also what colour scheme I should use, which in this case would be more male colours.

Audience Research – Vibe Magazine

Summary of my findings.

My research will help me produce a succesful product as i now know what works and what is effective. Things which are in every product you know will be a good thing to do. Things like having a consistent colour scheme and fonts. Also having a masthead, a main image and a story in coloums. Also having a well ordered page and mostly formal language.
