Audience
I will aim my magazine at 16 - 20 year old, this makes my magazine primarily available for college students, they would start at 16 and end between the ages of 17 - 20 depending on courses and other influences. I would have it aimed at both genders keeping my audience wide, to do this i wont be bias towards any gender when picking colour schemes and content. They will be in the demographic group of E, as they will be learning to go to a better full time job. In terms of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the collage magazine will fit into the self actualisation group, this is because it can be used to help morality, creativity, and problem solving within a certain group (college life).
Price
I will probably charge £4.99 for my magazine, as it will be a monthly issue. This is to tell students about the month ahead, and what special occasions are coming up (public holidays and exam dates) as there is a moderate amount of them each month, and students may not want to spend time reading a magazine on college every week, especially if this is where they spend all their time. This may also allow the magazine to have special editions, Halloween, Christmas etc. The given price should also fit the student's affordable amount.

Analysis of a College Magazines
College Magazine Analysis
The Masthead is located at the top left, and it is large enough to stretch across the entire top of the page. It features sub- headers each with tellers and information in the left-third, and also in the right third. It doesn't have a screamer or a flash to draw your attention. Although the subheadings are all bold and in a different colour to the tellers. At the bottom right of the cover there is a barcode. The graphology of the mast head matches the T-shirt in the photo. There is an anchor next to the photo of Nastia Liukin. She is wearing a shirt saying "I love SMU" (Southern Methodist University, Dallas Texas) and the background image is a bright picture of a campus. The background image is also unfocused, this gives more focus on the image of Nastia. Both images make SMU look more appealing to the reader.
The audience is people who are in college or may be looking for a college to go to, this is found within the masthead. Also the way Nastia is dressed with the tee and jean shorts, is appealing to the male audience, we can also learn that the audience is aimed more at the youth by the sub titles "He Better Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" this supports stereotypes, because there is a stereotype of younger people getting wasted all the time, beer being served in hell makes it sound like the story is about a rebellious youth, which may appeal to some college students.
