When researching how I would find my target reader I came across the website Yougov which lead me to a profile. I researched student and a number of different profiles came up, I came across a certain profile of a student aged between 18-24 and this would be the age of a student who has entered third level education. This helped me a lot as it is around the age I have targeted my magazine for but my magazine will also be available for students who are under 18 also.
I have followed on from my research form Yougov to create my actual ideal reader. This will be helpful to me when I'm actually creating my magazine.
