Prelim Task – Target Audience

My target audience is between the ages 16-18. The magazine is aimed at sixth formers who are in full time education, studying levels and hoping to go to university. The gender in which my magazine is aimed at is male and female. Sixth formers are of both genders therefore I feel it will be more appealing to the readers if it is targeted at both male and female students. The males which will read this magazine enjoy sports such as football and rugby. They are people who work very hard during school in order to achieve their goals of going to university at the end of year 13. My readers are very dedicated to their school work however they balance their social life. They are very keen on extending their education by going onto further education in university or achieving an apprenticeship. The needs of my reader are to be informed of the latest trends and to know what is going on around their school and upcoming events and to learn how to cope with the stresses of sixth form and to feel confident. My audience will use this magazine to gain tips and advice which they may need. They will also use this as they may need time out from their studies to relax. This will not only help them to relax they will also be receiving some sort of information so it is not only entertaining it is also educational.
