Reader Profile for music magazine

I have made this reader profile for my music magazine “Twist”. This has helped me understand my target audience as I can now easily see what sort of things they like to do, and what things they like.

Before I made my reader profile I looked at some other reader profiles for music magazines. I looked at “Uncut” and “NME”.

Uncut:

NME:

When I looked at these I looked at many different things. I looked at the way the layout of the page, the house colours used, the images used, the content of the writing and I also looked into what their target audience was.

I felt that these reader profiles were very informative and told you  a lot about their target audience. Just by glancing at the page you can straight away see what their target audience like and what sort of lives they live. This is clever and it works well.

This gave me inspiration for making my reader profile. I decided to put all the images at the top of the page, and all the text in boxes at the bottom. I chose my images carefully, making sure they were relevant to my target audience. I only used my house colours on my reader profile as I thought it would help make it more recognisable to my magazine. 
The reason I made my reader profile was so that I could understand my target audience better. It has helped me to do this as I can now get a clear idea of who my target audience is, what they do in their time, what sort of lives they live, and what things they like, and are interested in, just by looking at my reader profile. This is useful, and it will help me when I am making my magzine.

This is a second evaluation of my preliminary task...

I have made a questionnaire on a programme called 'survey monkey' to get more information about my target audience, and how I can make my magazine appeal to them. I posted this questionnaire onto facebook so that people could answer it electronically, which is a lot easier. This also makes it easier for me to analyse the results. This is my questionnaire...

I have analysed these two features pages looking at their mode of address to get ideas for my music magazine. these are the two pages...

This is a flat plan of a features page for my music magazine...

I have made this mind map of ideas about the content of my features page, and how i will create a clear brand identity.
