NME Magzine targets 63% male and 37% females. This had made me choose to target the female audiences because it appears like NME Magazine were mostly appealing to male audiences so I have decided to feature a female model in order to attract a wider range of female readers within this industry. It has also been said that 79% of NME readers like to listen to new bands and 52% are interested in taking musical course/qualification so I'd plan to produce a aspiring type of magazine to aspire my target audiences to become an successful artist one day. This type of magazine is similar to the genre of music magazine that I intended to do, which is indie/rock. Also, I have chosen to aim more on female audiences than male as the statistics above indicates that indie/rock types of music has low ratings when it comes to females as most of them are 'fan girls' of pop, such as Justin Bieber.
As you can see from the image above, NME magazine had gained a lot of positive comments until now and it's own target audiences are contented by the way the magazine is being published and distributed anywhere. Also, the amount of percentage a student reads NME magazine is quite low so that's why I decided to chose from younger audiences, teens, from 14 year old and above as a representative for my target audiences which it will be different but similar in a way compared to my actual music magazine designed. The press pack statistics also states that "58% say that adverts for brands/new music releases influence how they discover new music, rising to 68% among NME target audiences which are 16-24's. In my case, my music magazine (indie/rock) would be available for any one who's above 14 year old, as adults ca be acceptable to purchase it as it would also feature relevant topics based on the genre obtained.
