The target audience for my media product was the most important factor to consider for me when I was planning, designing and creating my magazine. I knew that I wanted my product to attract young teenagers who listen to RnB music. I never wanted my magazine to be similar to products like NME and Kerrang as I feel that they are more for the audience of rock band fans. Stereotypically, we see magazines like NME and Kerrang for the audience of those who are Indie and magazines like Smash Hits and Blender are aimed towards those who enjoy and listen to pop music and RnB. The image I had of my magazine was that it would be light colours, with a female model on the front along with fancy writing to attract mainly young girls. The following magazines do not have any similar conventions with my media product.
These show bold fonts with dark colours. They both have a male artist on the front of the cover, one playing an electric guitar, and the other holding a microphone. Their facial expressions show seriousness and there costumes are both dull and simple. Different to these magazines I have found one to
resemble my media product. Stereotypically, this product has used lots of the colour pink and this is automatically assigned to the female gender. This encouraged me to use feminine colours as this was a very popular magazine for teenage girls.

I have used this link to look at the different stereotypical groups so that I could select and match one to my magazine. By looking at this, I would associate my media product with the "Trendies" as they can be fashionable and interested in RnB and Pop music.
