2. The target audience I am going to aim
my music magazine is people who are
interested in chart music, although this
is most people, I will target the younger
audience. I will be targeting the 16-24
year old market because this group of
people are more specifically interested
in chart music
3. Looking at the front page, content page
and the double page I have concluded that
the target audience of this magazine is
young aged people who listen to dance
music. I can tell this by looking at the
language which is used. The language
used helps the reader to identify the target
audience.
4.
5. The target audience for this magazine can be
identified as teenagers or young people of both
gender who look up at celebrities like Tulisa who
they want to idolise. The reader would want to find
out as much information as they can about them
because they would like to know how they got
famous. This also allows them to find out secrets
about the celebrities they like. You can tell that this
magazine is aimed towards both genders because
on the double page spread the reader see JLS
who are a very popular boy band. The young
female audience would want to buy this to find out
as much information about them as possible.

7. By just looking at the front cover of this
magazine it is easy to see who the intended
audience is. By looking at the man who is in
a full body shot you can see that this
magazine is aimed at someone who has long
hair and has a bread, they would also wear
black and usually play a guitar because this is
the norm for the audience of Kerrang.
Looking at the cover lines the audience can
see that the magazine is telling the reader
about products of this genre of music.
