What They Want

These features appeared in the rock magazines I researched and also in the results from the questionnaires I sent out.These were the popular features that people aged between 16-20 mostly wanted and it was evenly spread between male and female.This helped me decide the age of my target audience, however in terms of gender I have decided not to be too biased towards one gender in particular.

Attractive front cover

All the research was to make a magazine for male and/or female readers (now slightly more lenient to female) aged 16-20. I did not want to choose one gender specifically because I wanted my magazine to be open to all that want to read it, however I feel now that it has been made, that the design is more appealing to female readers but I still hope for males to read it too.
