Question 5 - ReDo

The magazine will include interviews with pop artists, reviews of new pop music releases, and articles on pop artists and upcoming pop music events to relate well to the target audience.

Sophie's target audience for her rock magazine was the alternative community. She researched the stereotypes, hobbies, and interests of this group to appeal to them. She created a moodboard focusing on the visual aspects like band preferences to grab their attention. Sophie also developed detailed reader and audience profiles to understand what content and features would attract buyers and ensure the magazine catered to both general readers and individual audience members.
