This is my reader profile to show my intended audience for my magazine. From looking at the images, you can see that clothes and accessories are a common occurrence. This suggests that the target audience are girls as this is an interest most common to that gender. The clothes shown are meant to look as if they are from a charity shop, hence why they are on a rail. The ‘Indie’ stereotype is usually based around the theme of vintage, anything from the past in music and style. I added a lot of vintage objects on my reader profile to portray this. Things include an old fashioned microphone, a floral cup and saucer, cassettes and a beetle (the car). All of these items were once very popular and in fashion. They were the thing to have, however times change and these things are no longer the height of fashion. For example, cassettes have been replaced with CDs. Most of the items that I have listed are music related to continue the theme of my music magazine.

  From looking at my reader profile, the audience would think that it is quite old fashioned but very music and fashion orientated. This shows that the main audience is girls as they are normally stereotyped to be the gender most interested in fashion and what they look like. This is supported by a picture of a girl with a guitar. The music that I am trying to advertise on my magazine is mostly acoustic which is mostly music which is not as widely talked about. This is the kind of music that isn’t mainstream. To show music on my reader profile I included a guitar which demonstrates the acoustic aspect of music. Also, the old fashioned microphone and amp are to show that even though the music isn’t mainstream, there are people that listen to this type of music and enjoy it.
