This is my analysis of my chosen target audience.

This is Stu Harrison, he is an 18 year old male and he represents the typical group of people that my magazine will be aimed towards. Stewart lives in Bournemouth in an apartment with his two friends, Steve and John and together they formed a band of which he is the guitarist, who perform covers of songs to small audiences in their area. The genre of songs they perform are the same as the genre that my magazine is based on which is indie (alternative) rock, a style performed by bands like Razorlight, Snow Patrol and The Fratellis. He plays a variety of instruments like drums and piano but mainly guitar which he has been learning since the age of 11 however like most unlabelled bands these gigs are not his main source of income. He has a job at Topshop and buys a lot of his clothes from here with his staff discount. The clothes he wears don't really stand out like those of other stereotypes. He usually wears faded blue or grey jeans with his favourite pair of white converse, which are now a dirty brown colour after years of abuse from the elements. He sometimes wears pullovers on top of t-shirts with big pictures or designs on the front but he dislikes cardigans how old they make him look. His favourite band at the moment is Keane and spends a lot of his free time walking along Bournemouth beach listening to their music. He likes to keep up to date with current music by reading magazines like NME and finding out what's new in the world of song and rather than having a TV on all the time in his flat, him and his flatmates usually have the radio on full blast while having a drink with some mates. He says "it sounds better than the TV and you don't have to put up with crappy actors and Big Brother being forced at you all the time." He is quite a sentimental person and still remains close with his family yet still makes time for drinking and partying most weekends when he's not working. His favourite quote is "Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up," by Thomas Edison and reminds himself of this constantly when he's feeling down which helps motivate him to continue following his dream of one day being a successful recording artist.
