Demographics

Demographics are a section of the human population, broken down by age, sex, income, education or occupation. A magazine’s Target Audience are based on these things, this shows the magazine editor how small or large their Target Audience is.

My Target Audience will consist of the working class, as my age range (teenagers and young adults 15-25) are in this class, as most teenagers are in education eg school, college, university or maybe a part time job/ apprenticeship. The interests of my Target Audience involve a lot of technology such as TV, radio, computers eg Facebook, Twitter, Youtube. Other interests could be food for example Mcdonalds, KFC, Burgerking. Clothing/Fashion is one of my Target Audience’s big interests, clothing such as gold chains, Nike, New York snap backs, baggy tshirts and sunglasses. All of these things I have shown in my Readers Profile.

This table of the grading system shows different social classes and their occupation. My target audience is based around D-Working Class, my target audience will want to read this magazine really often rather than just once a month, as they enjoy reading about the Hiphop/Rap genre ect. So for these reasons I will publish my magazine weekly, this will please my audience most. I will price my magazine at about £1.99 as this isn't that expensive, for my target audience as most of them are still in education so won't be willing to pay much more than this for a magazine.
