Magazine Analysis 2:

Q MAGAZINE:
I think that the readers of 'Q' magazine have something quite convenient but healthy-ish for their breakfast. I.e a cereal or some sort or slices of toast, to satisfy but not consume too much time!

In terms of transport, I think the reader of Q magazine will have either a car or use public transport to get around. It all depends on how much money they earn to be honest, and how much they spend on Q magazine a month...

The magazine like NME music magazine has a definite young age target audience. So the audience will definitely, no matter where they live have a very modern apartment/house etc.

Energy drinks, cans/bottles of pop would be the general drink consumed by the readers of this magazine (very similar to NME). Although, I dont think their would be a designated type of "drink" related to or relevant to reading a certain type of magazine. Also, the audience of this magazine might like an alcoholic beverage on occasion whilst visiting certain bars, or on a weekend where they have time to unwind from their busy schedules/routines.

Music channels such as MTV, Kerrang, and obviously "Q" the music channel will all be aimed towards readers of this magazine, and actually prefered by the readers of this magazine over other channels, for example, "smash hits" or "4music".

Q magazine is based around an Indie genre so people buying the magazine would generally be more interested in indie types of bands/music related to indie etc...
Indie music fans dont tend to be into playing sport, but that's just the stereotypical image of this music genre and the people it's actually associated with. If the readers did play a sport I would class football/cricket/rugby as all likely options, as they're quite nationally popular so it would be expected for them to like that type of sport, judging on the nation we live in and what's popular and what isn't.

As with the NME magazine analysis mentioned before the audience is quite young and youthful so it may not be that loads of the typical audience members are married, (they may be...) Yet, more of a possibility for them to be "in a relationship" or "young, foolish and single" as many people are in their 20's...

Money may be an issue for younger people so they may not be able to afford holidays, I think money would be more beneficially spent for these people on places like music festivals like; Reading/Leeds festival, V festival and more, these tend to be a more common choice over trips abroad.

Due to their age, I don't think a lot of people who read this magazine will vote. Therefore, I am unsure of what party they would vote for if they actually do vote.

Edgy bars, packed pubs and high energy clubs are very likely places for the readers of this magazine to be spotted.
