  Audience Profile –Genre: Electronic Gender and Age (Hartley’s 7 Subjectivities) and why According to Hartley’s 7 subjectivities, the target audience will primarily be males and some females from ages 16-35. This is because the magazine will contain information about electronic music which contains explicit words, therefore this may be unsuitable for children and offensive for the elderly. The performer in the main image on the cover usually wears a designer top and Top man jeans with trainers Socio-Economic Needs and why: According to the socio-economic needs, this music will be suitable for category’s C2,D and E because electronic dance music is more appealing for young adults and teens, as they go to nightclubs more than upper class bankers and lawyers etc. As well as this, the music advertised may contain explicit words, which the elderly may find offensive. Therefore, I will have to make my magazine specifically appealing to only people of the social-economic classes of C2,D and E. Katz’ Uses & Gratifications Theory and Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs Katz’ Uses and Gratifications theory and Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs connotes the target audience will able to Personally Identify and Immerse themselves within the writing within the magazine. My magazine will be appropriate for people of any ethnicity and suitable for people who are from any nation. Furthermore, my magazine will be appealing to mostly men, but also some women who enjoy listening to electronic music. The age of the reader of my magazine will have to be 15 or over, as the artists who may have interviews contained in the magazine, create songs which contain explicit language. Stereotype(s): The stereotype for a Dj is for him/her to be wearing jeans, designer trainers and usually a designer t-shirt. Also, some of them wear their own branded clothes to help advertise themselves. Furthermore, the expensive clothe that my model will be wearing will portray their wealth and this will be key, if I want to make them look like a successful producer or celebrity.
