Reader Profile

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 occurance. This suggests that the target audience are girls as this is an interest most common to that gender. My magazine is going to support an 'indie' style of music.

Definition of 'Indie'

a pop group not affiliated with a major record company

an independent film company not associated with an established studio

Hipster is a slang term that first appeared in the 1940s, and was revived in the 1990s and 2000s often to describe types of young, recently-settled urban middle class adults and older teenagers with interests in non-mainstream fashion and culture, particularly alternative music, indie rock...

Overall, Indie music and style in general isn't mainstream or well heard of. The music is a mix of pop and rock but without the aggression of the rock. It also contains acoustic and light percussion.

From looking at the dates, Indie style of music and culture is old fashioned but vintage. Which has become fashionable. An aspect of vintage has been shown in my reader profile with the rack of clothes from a charity shop, cassetes and an old fashioned microphone.

In my magazine, I want the style to look different from usual magazines, with a vintage twist on it. For example, there will be a solo artist and she will be dressed in vintage clothing. This will also match the colour scheme of the magazine.
