Introduction

When it comes to making a music magazine that is aimed at a specific genre there are a lot of things a producer must take into account from their target audience in order to get their attention. This is why I have created a dating profile of my perfect audience member so I can understand what they like, dislike, are interested in etc. If I am able to know what my audience is mainly drawn to then I can design my magazine to attract and intrigue them to buy it.

Here is my dating profile for the perfect audience member of reggae music:

Reflection

Creating this dating profile aloud me to learn a lot about the general, overall demographics of my audience such as people usually from their thirties up to around mid forties  listen to reggae the most and are usually very political which makes sense when you listen to a lot of reggae lyrics. I also found out about my audience’s average sort of behaviors, attitudes and beliefs or in other words ‘psychographics’. There seems to be a pattern of creative people who are into fun and exciting things such as sport or video games. Their attitudes and behavior  show they don’t really pay awful lots of attention to things and most of what they consume of media is on the TV weather that’s video gaming, watching movies or getting news. The information I have learned from my audience I can now encode into my magazine by using mes-en-scene to reach the audience and allow them to decode what I am putting out there for them to understand and be fascinated by.
