5. The target audience for q magazine are people who are
serious about music. Q magazine is based modern music
and artists. Because of this I can see the magazines target
audience is females and males who are interested in
modern music. From the artists I've seen in the magazines
the magazine seems to have the genre of Rock and indie
music's. this is also presented by the colours on the front
page of the magazine and the themes and pictures on the
front cover.
6. Heat magazine is based around ‘what's hot’ in the media.
This magazine helps people keeping up with popular
gossip within famous peoples lives and things that are
happening around the word. From looking at the magazine
contents I see that the magazine is targeted for teens –
maybe around people in their 30s. The magazine has
bright colours all through out and features people who are
‘trending’. The magazine also helps people stay in touch
with what's new in; entertainment, beauty and fashion and
the famous. From looking at the magazine I would say that
it is more targeted for women but there are elements of the
magazine that males would like also.

Future chief executive Greg Ingham and Apax Venture

9. Future own a range of magazines for the different genres

10. Music radar is a magazine that provides large information
about musical instruments such as drum and bass. From
the faces that music radar use on their magazines I feel
that the magazine may have their target audience are
mainly want to get involved with becoming a DJ or learning
how to play drums and or guitar.
11. Games radar is a magazine based around gaming. The
magazine includes news game information and current
game information. From the cover that future used to
advertise games radar it steamed that the magazine was
most aimed for teens or young adults interested in gaming.
The magazine also provides reviews on game which shows
that the magazine is for people who want to stay updated
on what is going on in the gaming world. The games that
games radar talk about or feature in their magazines are
also very highly aimed towards males which present the
magazine to be aimed for males also.
