It’s story time again! This time, for class, I have to come up with a ‘character’ who would be a prospective client, or part of the target market/demographic that I, as a graphic designer, would like to appeal to. Trying to pin-point who this person would be is kind of silly, because I, as a graphic designer, would like to appeal to literally every living human being on the planet. I have no bias when it comes to clients who want me to do magical graphic design work for them. But, for the sake of this assignment, I will delve further into this individual’s persona, life, hairstyle, favourite food, favourite place to clip their toe nails, etc. We’re gonna go in depth with this one. ‘Real in depth (because saying ‘real deep’ would sound almost too funny, and really unprofessional).

What is their name? Mallory
How old are they? 26
What is their favourite (song/book/movie/magazine/food/clothing/etc)? They like to make their own music/books/food/etc.
How much money do they have to spend? $547.39
What do they spend it on? A cool logo design for their online web comic
What are their media consumption habits? They consume media on a daily basis, but take a day out of their week to ‘take a break from technology’.
How do they get their news every day? Their phone, online publications
What sites do they frequent? Tumblr, Facebook, Etsy, Pinterest
What sort of conversations do they get into on facebook or twitter? She likes to debate the concept of normcore with their mainstream goth counterparts, and post the odd ‘funny cat’ video. She once had a religious debate over worshiping the Flying Spaghetti Monster. She is quoted as posting, “How do you know the Flying Spaghetti Monster ISN’T real, and Jesus IS? You’re wasting your life, man. Get a job.” This was a facebook conversation with her father.
What is their username on twitter, or other handles they use? Mallencia, ErzibetBathory666, MallorytheVeganSlayer
Anything else that completes the picture of this person as a media minded net citizen interested in your brand

In the following days I will post their ‘story’  and how they came to be an (imaginary) potential client/prospective demographic for my work.
