Introduction to my Focus Group

On this page I have displayed the members of my focus group that I will be using throughout my research into school and music magazines. The information and knowledge that I hope to gain of media consumption and various magazine opinions will help me to create final products that will appeal to my target audience. I shall decide my particular target audience at a later date and it may appear that I will choose a different audience for each of the magazine categories.
