Target audience: 18-35 year olds

The target audience for my magazine that I need to keep in mind when making it is eighteen to thirty five year olds. Some main types of magazines that people from those age groups read are fashion, beauty, car, home ware/decor, wedding and reality/ chat magazines. This is because these topics are the most relatable for people between the age of eighteen and thirty five. For example, home ware magazines may be popular to people (particularly in their 20s and 30s) because they have recently moved out of home and perhaps gone to university so want room inspiration or have bought their own place. Wedding magazines may also be a popular buy amongst them because stereotypically the age of marriage has now gone up and is at about 30 years old for women and 32 for men ( source: https://graziadaily.co.uk/life/real-life/average-age-marriage-uk/ ). I am choosing to make a beauty magazine, as those are the type of magazine that I am most interested in and it relates to the age group.
The gender of my target audience will be female. This is because females are more likely to read beauty magazines, as they have been socialised into a belief that they should wear and have an interest in makeup. The media portrays that they need make up in order to always keep up a perfect appearance and be beautiful.
