Audience Profile

I decided to ask my friends about their preferences to gain an understanding of my audience. I decided to ask a male and a female to gain an understanding of what my target audience is like.

Liam Cooke is a teenager aged 17 who is currently a student at Lutterworth College. He studies English Language, Media and R.E whilst also having hobbies involving football and music. His bedroom is littered with posters of his favourite musicians whilst also having gig tickets that he has collected whilst going to see his different favourite bands. He is very interested in finding new talent within a rock genre, whilst also liking larger more known bands within the genre. He appreciates all music genre's if the artists are naturally talented and have worked hard through the music industry but his overall taste for music is within the indie rock - hard rock genre. His favourite magazines are Kerrang and Rocksound along with NME which is appropriate to my magazine as I will be looking to create a magazine that crosses NME with Kerrang. Therefore I think my magazine would be suited to this person, because it offers new unknown bands within the indie/rock genre.



Louis Taylor is a teenager aged 16 who is currently studying at Leicester College. She takes a general course including "Maths, Physics, Biology and Psychology with hobbies including astronomy and music. Music is one of her biggest hobbies with her playing piano and going to see her favourite artists. She likes rock music also enjoying more indie and pop artists also, so she frequently reads magazines such as NME, Q and Kerrang and differentiates between them dependant on the main artist being advertised. She likes seeing new up and coming bands which would be relevant to my magazine. Her walls are also covered in pictures and posters of her favourite artists, which shows what my kind of audience like, and what interests that age group.

Overall I think both people would be interested in buying my magazine and the magazine would be useful to them,  also having important relevant information to do with their hobbies within music to make them feel like the magazine relates to them.
