Understanding my Target Audience

The current name for my music magazine is 'Autonomy'. It's a working title and sounds a bit long. Here is another brainstorm of ideas and names for my magazine. Overall I think I have decided that AUTONOMY works best out of all other suggestions and names that have come from brainstorming.

• ICONOGRAPHY:

Bellow is further inspiration from analysing album covers of current Indie artists such as 'Marina and the Diomonds', 'The Fray' and 'Ellie Goulding'.

Ellie Goulding: a very current and new British female Indie artist who is releasing a new album called "Lights". I am intending to mention her on my front cover and have an article about her that is mentioned in my contents page. I think the female target audience will find her admirable and inspirational. The male target audience will be interested in her because of her sex appeal and musical talent. I am inspired by this artist and my TA is a similar age (13-23). Therefore, I think it's a good way to address my TA by adding Ellie Goulding as a featured Indie artist.

I want to aim at males who are also part of my target audience. Here are Indie boy bands and the type of layout and conventions used in images that are taken of male artists and bands. I intend on using central male figures (At least 5 of them) on my front cover. The males will attract both a male and female audience because male and other younge talent will aspire to be like them and females may find them attractive.
