Target audience for perliminary task


Who is my target audience?



My Target audience Is going to be mostly boys and a small minority of girls just so we can have a fair mixed. And because its just breaking a stereotype that girls may not be interested in sports. It’s mostly going to be aimed at boys because most of the schools population is made out of boys. These boys age range are from 11-16 year olds which are ks3 and ks4. The front cover topic is going to relate to Sport simply because When I gave my questionnaire on "what would you rather read about", all of the 4 boys and 1 girl ticked the sports box. These boys/girl were from the years 7, 8,9,10&11. This would be a successful topic of a cover page because as my questionnaire proves that’s what most boys within that age range are interested in reading along with their other hobbies.  However this is also complicated because with sports comes so many categories of things you can class as sport so I will be mainly focusing on subjects such as football, basketball, badminton and many other sports within the school curriculum. I will also be introducing new things to the audience for females as I am aiming to break the typical conventions of sports magazines being aimed at boys only and i am intending on making it more unisex for example I will be including stories such as cheer leading, and other sports both boys and girls will be interested in.


My target audience will because expecting interesting stories such as sports events, things that have taken place around sports, those themselves or their peers may have participated in. This will engage the reader because it creates a more personal bond with the reader’s passion, engaging them to continue reading and therefore successfully informing them and entertaining them.



Potential sell lines for Sports school magazine:

-How to improve your inner Ozil

-Don’t believe the hype! Bring sports alive!

-Having trouble in badminton?

-Are you the man that’s going to lead RHS football team to victory? Continue reading to see how you can try out for football captain

-Bring fifa 14 alive!

-Forget GTA, come and play!

-How to become an expert in trampolining

The layout of the front cover is going to be more cluttered because my target audience will find it more eye catching and interesting as this magazine is guaranteed to have everything a typical school pupil is looking for, especially because the majority of readers will be of a male gender they 
will be more interested in what It has to say.In addition boys wouldnt be interested in something with one neat sell line as it would seem boring.  I've particularly come up with this conclusion by researching sports magazines such as kick, a young boys sports magazine so i will be using some ideas from that magazine to target the 11-13 year old's specifically as it has bigger, bolder, font which shows how serious it is about sports.
