Profiling your audience

1)      The reader; Arial Summers is 17 years old, she would call her style indie. She is very passionate about music liking more genres than one; classical, R&B, hip hop; pop music as well as Indie music. She is a competitive athlete who has 5 gold, 7 sliver & 3 bronze metals in swimming & gymnastics alone. She is from an Asian background as well as a Caribbean and Italian background. She currently studies performance studies at college A-LEVEL as well studying English, Further maths, Health & Fitness.  Arial plans to go to university after she finishes her course at college, she will be taking a performance studies degree. She hopes to network with the right people which will allow her to go to New York’s Ballet College in New York, America. As well as doing swimming she has been doing ballet classes since 7 years old but despite this says that indie music is her real passion and often mixes both cultures to get there she says “both things are so mainstream, I hate being the same as everyone which is why I like doing such a diverse chose of subjects and extra activates, which is why I like indie culture there are no boundaries and if there was then they would be broken, I'm not afraid to mix both together to find my own style” Arial lives with her 5 brothers & 2 sisters in her family home. She is currently single “I am from a big family with a lot of males, I have seen my how they treated my two older sisters boyfriends before they expected them and actually dread the day I have to bring a boy home, if I am in a relationship I avoid at all cost to bring them home” She says moving away from her family will be nerve wreaking but a good experience to prove to her family that she isn’t the baby that they make out her to be. 

2)      Magazine; in the magazine to target Arial Summers and my target audience I will bring a selective amount of different artists that are mainstream but as well indie and new. For example using a new artist & singers such as Ed Sheeran, Rizzel Kicks & The Wanted. Like a lot of people who read the magazine Arial Summers has a passion for getting involved in different projects, the magazine will offer the chance for readers to get their work published in the magazine as well as reading it. This feature will set the magazine apart from most as music magazine offer the reader activities to waste time when bored and activities like festivals etc. This magazine will also be targeted towards people will different abilities allowing more than just literati people to get involved. As a magazine there will probably be 40/60 photos so that the reader like Arial Summers can receive information about festivals, gigs, opportunities and so forth without being left feeling overwhelmed or put off.
