My main target audience is girls, from the age 15-25 years old. I would like to use artists like Jls and Taylor Swift. They appeal to a very wide audience. Although I would like my audience to appeal to boys also I think girls would be the real benefiters. I would like a multi ethnic audience. Also the socio-economic status should be widespread although I don't think group A would buy a magazine like mine. My magazine will be different from magazines like 'top of the pops' because it will have language which applies to the older audience more than the younger and some of the people featured will be the people that appeals to the older audience.
This is Laura, she is 17 years old. She is female. She goes to college and would be an ideal person to use as a fan for my band because she works therefore has a disposable income and would buy tickets to go and see them live. She likes to watch reality TV so if my band ever decided to do their own show she would watch. She also buys music off itunes and in stores. Her interests consist of; shopping, listening to music and watching tv. Defining and knowing your audience matters because then a band will know how to develop their image for the audiences taste and approval, also they will know what kinds of things their audience like and what songs they would prefer to listen to.

Jessica - think this through - your target audience is 10 -16 but your ideal reader is 17??? Most pop magazines are aimed at this younger audience, maybe it would be better to target the slightly older teens/ early 20s? This could well be your USP. How would this type of magazine, say, be different to Top of The Pops. Remember, too, that you will be dealing with your own made-up artists mainly.
