Main Task: planning- audience profile

In order to make an effective, appealing magazine, I must research the target audience and decide upon important details of their character that I must appeal to through the magazine. I will research things such as what category on the jicnars scale they fall into to what they wear at the weekend. It is necessary to find information that may at first seem trivial such as their favourite film or chocolate bar, however this is useful to the production of my magazine as it will allow me to tailor the content to appeal to my target audience. 

Specifics.
- You are between the ages of 22-25.
- You fall in to the C1 category on the jicnars scale.
- You are male.
- You think of yourself as a radical. 
- You sometimes act like you are still 17.


Characteristics.
- You don't follow the latest trends.
- You never go anywhere without your headphones.
- You're still wearing the t-shirt your mum bought you two years ago.
- You have/want multiple tattoos.
- You eat 'Snickers' and drink 'Relentless'.
- You still ride your skateboard.
- Your ears have more holes than your shoes.
- Your hair used to be as long as your sisters.
- You have a smart phone so you can download and access music everywhere, but it isn't necessarily the best; you'd rather spend your money on other things.
- When you aren't listening to music, you are shooting things on an xbox.




My target audience will have an obsession with music, they will read my magazine to find out about the latest releases and news from the artists/bands. This way, they can keep up to date with their favourite kind of music and feel like they have a superior knowledge in their friendship group.

The magazine will also give them information on where they can purchase their clothing, even though they may appear not to have a great interest in this topic, they still have an underlying desire to wear certain things. This shapes their identity further and allows them to look like part of a group.
