PLANNING Readership

Basic Reader Information:
Age: 15-24, could be younger though depending one parents' tastes.-

Gender: Mainly aimed at males, however some women also (60%/40%)

Occupation/Skills: The older readers will have fairly relaxed jobs, they probably wont be in high up jobs such as lawyers or accountants, more like artists, charity workers or students. The younger readers will probably be into music magazines quite a lot and will be much more music-orientated and will go to a lot of concerts and festivals.

Demographic:
Grade C1/C2 So quite low/middle classed. This magazine is best suited for people that can't afford to pay a lot of money for it. This may affect the advertised music and events inside.
