Audience Profile
The sort of readers I will be aiming my magazine at will be mainly girls, but obviously the magazine will be unisex. I will be aiming it at people aged between 17-25 and possibly onwards. The genre of my magazine is vintage and retro, so a lot of the news and music inside would be from the 60's/70's/80's era, so obviously the magazine could appeal to people as old as 40+. Modern times, there aren't many vintage/retro styled magazines that are still running, so doing this kind of magazine is a huge opportunity to have a to of audience.
The type of reader I would have would be someone like Kate Lowther. She is a 20 year old girl, from Leicester. She loves vintage and her music genre that she loves is rock/punk/pop/Jazz/RockNRoll. She loves this genre of music to mainly be from 30's right up to the 80's. Her favourite bands are Fleetwood Mac, Etta James and Blondie. Kate fits exactly into my audience profile.

Review on Final Magazine Draft
Throughout the course of creating my magazine draft I have learnt numerous factors into how to make a successful, professional magazine. With this knowledge I will be able to produce a final copy of a professional music magazine.
With the draft I have done, I will have feedback and be able to act on this whether it is positive or negative feedback. With this feedback I will also be able to create an even better magazine than my first rough draft.
When creating my draft magazine however, I did not manage my time carefully. I spent too long on certain aspects and therefore had limited time to do other aspects to the magazine, which were then rushed. From this mistake, I can act on this and when creating my final magazine I can sort out better organisation skills and use my time more wisely to get the fullest from each minute to make all of that time precious and vital to my magazine.
The draft images on my magazine draft were not the sort of images I will be wanting on my final magazine. On my draft I only had one person modelling, as again, time was limited and I therefore had less time to take the photos. Where photos were meant to be I added more text to my draft.
On the cover of my magazine I used artist names. Some of these were real artist names I had gathered from inspiration for the theme of the magazine and some were made up band names I thought of to make the magazine more of my own.
On the contents page of my draft, there is a lot of text. This is a weak point for the magazine. I only used one image on the contents page which is not enough.
For the double page spread, I did an interview with the cover star of the magazine "Luna White" who is a made up artist for my magazine. I thought that my double page spread was a successful part of my magazine. The finished draft product looked quite professional and it turned out how I wanted it to eventually look. Again, there was only one image and that is something I am wanting to change for my final piece.
Overall my magazine draft was a success. There is a lot of room for improvement but the overall layout and structure is how I would like my final magazine piece to look. There are certain aspects such as number of images, text and fonts that I would like to improve on but the overall outcome is a positive for me and the feedback I receive from others will also be something I need in order to properly see where I have weak points when making magazines.
