Audience Profile

After taking in consideration the style and genre I will go on to reflect in my magazine I have decided to target predominantly the male market, aged between 16 and 20. I feel that this is the best market because these are the ages at which teenagers begin to experiment with different types of music that are not as mainstream. Also teens in particular are influenced by the fashion and style aspects that come with the indie genre. Male are stereotyped to be more interested in the 'rock' genre, and this is also the case with 'Indie rock'. I feel that the male market fits my design ideas and ambitions more than a dominantly female audience, and this will be reflected in the design of my final cover.
