Audience Profile

The Audience Profile I choose, was for someone who has a particular taste in music, in this case being Rock/Alternate. Therefore my Magazine will publish certain aspects of media in order to to carry the point across of the type of Magazine this is and the type of audience it is aimed at. In order to do this I will then have to publish certain material such as images, headlines and even advertising in order to connote the main aspect of the magazine.

What Magazines i read and why?

I dont usually read many magazines but make special efforts to read NME or other musical based magazines.

I read musical magazines such as NME as it targets one of my interests, it is also good in finding out information.
