Audience Profile

I have chosen to do my audience profile in two males and one female. I have done this as the market for this genre of magazine is predominantly male. I have also got a range of ages from 17 35 as I believe these are fairly close to the target market my magazine I will aim for. They are all from a range of backgrounds who want to go down different paths in life and end up in different places. I believe the range my magazine can offer to I limited in some ways but appeals also to a wide variety as well.
