6. From my market research survey I have come to the conclusions that my main target
audience will consist of males and females, preferably aged 18 – 25. My target audience
will have a particular interest in rock music as this is the genre my magazine is based on.
As from question 9 of my survey I discovered more people preferred magazines such as
Kerrang and NME, therefore I will attempt to follow similar conventions that these
magazines use, so as to appeal to my target audience.
