Evaluation: Who Would Be The Audience For Your Media Product? Why?

This is a drawing of my stereotypical reader.

As you can see above, I believe the stereotypical sex of a reader of my magazine would be female, and she would be 27. I have drawn her wearing a shirt with an unbuttoned collar and rolled back sleeves, a pair of dark slim fit jeans, dark brown boots, a light pink scarf and a small gold watch. I have drawn her wearing these items as I believe my reader would have a good fashion sense, which is sophisticated yet trendy. The unbuttoned collar and rolled back sleeves are to show that they are laid back, easy-going. The colours (blue, pink and purple) show that she is feminine but not overly stereotypical of a female (pink). The gold watch represents her wealth, she is in a steady job with an average amount of disposable income each month.

I have listed some of my stereotypical readers' favourite things such as TV shows and food. I have said my reader enjoys the tv show 'Dallas' as it is a complex program that is very popular at the moment in American. This shows that my reader is cultured and knows a lot about the American Culture and embraces it. I have also said that her favourite food is 'Nando's Chicken', this is because my reader eats out a lot and socialises (which is one of her interests). Her favourite music is Indie/Pop and she idolises Lucy Rose and Ben Howard (both Indie Pop artists). As well as this, she enjoys shopping with her friends, going to concerts, pampering herself and staying in with her friends to watch movies.

Her favourite shops are H&M, River Island, Next and Topshop. This is because these shops aren't too expensive which represents her level of income, which is around average for a 27 year old. These shops are also trendy, which reflects her attitude to the latest trends and news.
