- The target audience for the magazine is younger people aged 15-25 who are interested in discovering new artists and a wide variety of music genres.
- The magazine aims to appeal to both male and female readers of all socioeconomic classes by having a simple, easy to read style while still being sophisticated enough for upper-class readers.
- Several photos are included that depict people fitting the target age range and displaying styles of dress, music interests, and activities that suggest they would be interested in a magazine focused on discovering new music.
2. Target audience Identification
• My target audience are a younger group of people (around 15-
25). These people would be interested in finding many new
artists and a wide variety of music. It is aimed at both genders
as much as the other.
• This magazine would be targeted at all classes of people as it is
very simple and easy to tread but at the same time is
sophisticated enough for the upper class members of society.
3. This girl is young and definitely in the range of
16-25. She is listening to music on a pair of
headphones that are very large and this usually
they are expensive, if this girl is willing to pay
a lot of money for headphones, it probably
means she is very passionate about music. The
t-shirt she is wearing is very original. This
could say to say that she likes to be her own
person and not just follow crowds in terms of
her music taste and listen to new music.
4. Within this photo I can tell she is around 20
years old. Her t-shirt is a Vaccines t-shit, a
bad well within my genre suggesting she is
interested in this type of music. The rest of
her clothes are a specific style that you
would expect to see from someone interested
in seeking new talent.
5. She looks around 25 years old. This fits
perfectly in with the target audience. She
seems to be at a music festival, this shows a
large interest in music. She looks rather
intelligent, and someone who is more
intelligent is more likely to read, so she may
want to actually read about music she enjoys,
more than likely the type appearing in my
music magazine.
6. He looks to be around 18, this fits in to my
target audience. His clothes could have the
connotations of someone who would be
interested in the style of music incorporated
in my magazine, because of his jeans and
basketball shoes, typically associated with
this particular genre of music and all of the
content in the magazine, the style of his
jumper also, the torn kind of retro print is
very typical of this genre.
7. He seems to be in the age category set for
my target audience. His clothes are a very
certain style, military boots are always
associated with the people listening to the
music suck indie-rock in my magazine. He has
particularly long hair on the photograph, and
it is styled very extravagantly and could be
considered as a rather ‘brave’ style.
8. His general look suggests he is around the top
end of my target audience. He is wearing a t-
shirt containing the Beatles and some photos
of them, many people that are associated
with the indie-rock genre enjoy the music
from the Beatles also, so this may show his
interest for that music. His hair is also very
typically alternative as many people’s hair
choices and style choices are closely
influenced by their musical taste and icons.
