Reader Profile

This here is my finished Reader Profile...

I have created my reader Profile by collecting the results from the questionnaires that I have conducted and put them into a visual display. A reader profile is a collection os facts and data that give a better understanding of the audience and reader of the magazine. Reader Profiles are important as they give more information of what the audience do in their spare time, where they like to shop, what styles they have etc. This information is then put into the content of the magazine, specifically the advertising. By knowing your reader in and out, you can use advertisements that relate more and are going to have a better chance of the reader noticing and liking. If the reader likes what the advertisement is offering, they are more likely to buy it and this helps the magazine more.

I have displayed the information in a similar style as the NME reader profile that I researched into earlier. I have separated the information into three columns, what they like to do and how much they earn, what and how they spend their money on and the final being the basic data; like the gender, age and social class.

I have also added in different images to the top and bottom of the page which relate to my audience based on the survey results and also images that relate to my music genre. Because my magazine is a rock magazine, I have added in images of electric guitars, drumsticks and a microphone. All of the images relate to the reader profile and they help the reader have a better understanding of the audience without typing in all of the things they like in the information section. I have also added in different album covers of bands in my genre, these have been put into the background, showing little glimpses all around the page.
