Target Audience

It was important for me to select my target audience before creating my magazine because my entire magazine would revolve around the target audience, from the title to the images to the content.
I have developed an idea of who I would like my target audience to be, however I am hoping that not only they would purchase my magazine. Hopefully others would be interested in purchasing my magazine for other reasons that I may not have aimed directly at them. The audience that my magazine is aimed at is young and between the ages of 15 and 25. Also my target audience is not aimed at any single gender, it is aimed at both males and females. I have catered for this audience throughout the designing and developing of my magazine.

The inspiration for my magazine has come from magazines such as NME and Q.

Existing Media

(Click on an image to see it more clearly,then click the back arrow)

Before beginning to create my own magazine I looked at numerous examples of existing media for inspiration. I went out and bought other music magazines to look at the layout, colours and imagery used throughout. I then thought about how each aspect had been used and why it may have been used as it had. I looked at many copies of NME, looking at the front cover, contents and also the features used for its double page spreads.
