My Target audience

My Target Audience
From my research, I have been able to identify some key features of my intended target audience, which will affect the way in which I structure and produce my magazine.
Age - Between 16-25
Gender - A larger proportion being female, but around 60:40 - This will effect my photography and how I represent stereotypes in my magazine
Hobbies and Interests : Mainly music - buying gig tickets, attending concerts, festivals, travelling (seeing the world around them), the internet - social networking sites (Such as: Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube), clothes and fashion, the latest technology - Blackberry, iPhone, iPod, Laptops
Media Influences : many media influences such as, social networking sites, TV dramas aimed at a young target audience (Skins, the Inbetweeners, Misfits) - which create stereotypes of this age which many intend to imitate, newspapers - highlighting young people to be deviant - rebellion
Many would have part time jobs to support excessive needs to keep up with the recent trends - to fit in, which funds their social activities.


I have chosen to create an Indie magazine that is aimed mostly at Females because most Indie magazines, I.E Kerrang!, Q, NME are mostly aimed at males I think that this would make my magazine stand out.
