Who would be the audience for your media magazine?

My audience for my music magazine is aimed at both male and female. Although the featured band on the front cover of my magazine features a trio girl band, it is still aimed to all rock music fans at the age of 13-19 and has a wide range of different bands within its content.
So the targeted audience is not confused, i have purposely used dark colours so that males that are interested in the magazine do not think its targeted towards just females. Colour plays a big part in identifying.

Another reason i used dull colours is because thats what rock is usually associated with; moodiness, aggression, darkness. I have purposely used this to draw in any rock fans that would be interested in the featured pictures and stories inside the magazine.

From the price of the magazine, i would say you could tell the age range of my magazine. It is at a price of £2.50 which is affordable for 13-19 year olds and isn't much considering the price of other magazines i came across whilst researching. I based the price on the research i done before starting the magazine and this was the lowest price i came across therefore, i feel i have made the right decision and this will help draw in the audience for my media magazine and ensure they are getting value for their money.

As my audience would enjoy getting involved buying CDs and going to gigs their is competitions to win tickets and other gifts in the magazine. Also there are tour guides, dates and times so that they can keep up with whats going on in the rock industry.  By doing this i hope that this would catch the eye of the audience and will make them excited to buy the magazine and enter the competitions.
