Target audience

The target audience for my magazine is going to be people with an interest for music. They should appreciate different types of music, but especially indie. Other genres that may be included in my magazine will be drum and bass and R&B as these two genres were just as popular as eachother, after indie that is (according to my survey). 
Magazines usually decide on the target audience by taking a few factors into consideration. These are age, gender, interests, location and costs. 

This magazine is called Glamour, just by looking at the front cover you can tell that the target audience is going to be female. This is because of the colours and words used. You can also tell because of the image as females prefer pretty, fashionable images which they would take an interest in. Whereas males would prefer to look at a front cover that had something more to their liking such as a car, mens fashions or exposed females. By looking at this cover you can also tell that it is aimed at females of around 16 to 25 years old. Therefore this magazines target audience is 16 to 25 year old females who have an interest in fashion and make up, and live in England. You can tell this as the pricing is in pounds. 


My magazines audience will most probably be aimed at teenage/young adult females. They will probably live in England or America an have an interest in music (preferable indie), festivals, fashion and celebrities.
