11. Easy to read/understandWHO IS MY TARGET AUDIENCEWith my music magazine I am trying to target young girls aged 11 – 17, that have an interest in a variety of music. I am not really aiming for any particular social class, as I do not believe that your wealth or social standing would stop you liking or disliking a magazine. But because my target audience would be aged between 11 – 17 I would need to make it affordable for them, which is why I decided to price my magazine at £2.50 as this is roughly the same price as the ‘Top of the Pops’ magazine, which I have been basing most of my research on. As I am trying to target a younger audience I made sure that the way I had written it was appropriate for the reading age, and after asking some of the younger people I know aged between 9 and 12 I have concluded that my magazine has a reading age of 11. From my research it is clear that magazines aimed at a younger audience tend to have more pictures and fewer words, but because I am aiming for a young and young adult audience I wanted to make my magazine more literate but still use lots of pictures because this way I would be catering for both age groups.Due to the age I am trying to target I imagine they would be reading it in class, at home or whenever they are bored at break, lunch etc. My aim is to make my magazine interesting for them so it can be read as a way of relaxing them, and after asking some people about where they are most likely to read a magazine I was told just before they go to sleep, so I think this is a good feature of my magazine. Also because it is easy to read and understand I think it is suitable to read at any venue.
