Target audience profile
My target audience is a teenage girl, differing from the age 13-17. The magazine will be about fashion, celebrities, music, all what most teenage girls are interested in. Another relation to my target audience could be the different types of wacky bands and artists, for instance All Time Low and The Wanted, where they more than likely view these artists on the channel MTV. By them being interested in my magazine, I could make sure my magazine involves all of these things and interests a teenage girl has.
This image represents the wackiness and fun ways of a teenage girl, and so the magazine must therefore be up to this standards in which i want it to be; fun, bright, bold, exiting. They're well dressed and suit the fashion that will be included too.

These are the titles that are top, middle and bottom of the market. I think the popularity of these covers reflect on their designs and who the audience are, as many target groups are different and might buy these magazines weekely or the odd occasion which leads them to being seperated into the the 'top', 'middle' and bottom section of the market. Also they may attract a different audience depending on their designs.
