Evaluation Question 2

 

This is the Social Class Table, which will give me a better idea of what majoritites and percentages of class my magazine will be aimed at, and who the target audience is. I am aiming my magazine at class E students because this category is aimed at people who are still in Education and my magazine is aimed at ages between the age of 14 and 25 years. However, some people between these ages will be working so this means they will be a higher class, probably a D or a C2. Therefore, this means I cannot aim my magazine's to one particular class because by doing this, I won't get as many people buying the magazine because there is more than one social class category what I am aiming my magazine to. To draw in the different ages and classes I have used a varied amout of rock bands which they will all like. I have used old rock bands to benefit the older population as they will have listened to them in the younger days, and for the younger population, class E students, I have used a young recently new rock band which they can gain an interest for. In addition to this, I have also included posters of new and old bands, which they will like because they can use them and stick them to their walls. To benefit the students (D) class of the social class table, I have included both new and old bands which they will have a feel good factor for as they will have previously listened to old bands, and they can also listen to new bands and there are also gigs which are advertised in my magazine, so they can attend them. After all, when your round about the 20-24 age alcohol and gigs are the perfect combination. More importantly I have created a competition, which will apply for all of the social classes and ages in which my magazine appeals to... to join the band Rock Devastation.

A media institution is a company that deals with producing, distributing and marketing a media product. One particular institution which I will be looking at is Bauer to see how well my magazine would do if it was to be instituted by Bauer. Bauer's slogan is 'We think popular' which straight away suggests that if my magazine R&R was to be distributed by Bauer it would get a lot of sales due to the fact they are popular worldwide. In addition to this becuase the company was founded in 1875, headquartered in Hamburg, it means the company will have had plenty of experience before dealing with things such as my magazine. In addition to this Bauer music company even though its main location/headquarters is in Germany is a multi-national company and is located in 17 different countries across Europe,USA,China and Russia.
The countries they locate in are:

• USA
• China
• Russia
• Hungary
• Romania
• Germany
• Spain
• France
• Austria
• Poland
• Portugal
• The United Kingdom
• Australia
• Nigieria
• Czech Republic
• Mexico
• Slovakia                                    This is the main reason as to why they are popular!

Evaluation Question 4

This is the reader profile for my magazine which shows who the audience would be for my music magazine. As you can see, I want my magazine to appeal to both genders which is why there is a percentage amount for both male's and female's. There is a higher percentage of males (64%) because I think there are more males who are interested in rock, even though a lot of woman like this specific genre too. The median age for people buying the magazine is 23, this is because I believe the age limits to which people will be buying these is from the age of 15 to 40. There are a lot of young who like Rock music, however I don't think you would buy magazines until you are at the age of around 15, because at this age you can receive pocket money or possibly start working at this age. In addition to this, after you have aged past fourty, there isn't much of a fascination for buying magazines, as you have more important things to do, and by the age of fourty magazines tend to have run out of fashion. Therefore, the social classes in which my audience is at is D, C2 or E. C2 class status' are the older population who have a job, which involves being a skilled worker which buy my magazine, D includes people who are working which are only semiskilled or unskilled workers, which will involve the people who have possibly just left college and university and got a recent job,aged 19-24. Finally, the class E who purchase the magazine are the younger population who are still students or are studying in education, 36% of the Class E buying my magazine are students, as they have a lot of free time in and out of education to read the magazine.
