my target audience should be people between the age of around 16-30 but in reality music doesn't really have an age however the predominant target audience will fall between the age of 16-30 however other people may read the magazine if they wish to. to read this magazine you may be female or male however you will find that more men likes rnb/ rap than women, therefor perhaps the magazine would have a greater appeal to the male gender. the audience would perhaps like the brands in which the iconic stars promote for example kanye west fans would perhaps like the brand yeezys, fans try to follow the footsteps of their role models, so they tend to like whatever brand the superstar promotes or wears. my target audience would like r and b/rap as the magazine is going to be focused on them genres. this magazine is aimed at everyone it don't matter about the class they are in you can be upper lower or middle class, however statistically you would find that middle class people are the main people who would be buying the product.
