{ The gentlewoman }
The gentlewoman showcases a new and bright perspective on fashion, that illustrates the way in which women actually look and dress. By having a quick glance at the magazine, I think that this magazine would most likely be targeted at women around the ages of 20-40. The stylistic appearance of some of the issues within the magazine creates quite a nostalgic feel which leads me to think that this magazine also targets an older generation as well. The main purpose of the magazine seems to be highlighting influential designers, new designers and also creating wholesome content that depicts women in realistic imagery.
{ Filmmaker }
On initially looking at the magazines website, I can see that there is an advert at the top for a film and media studies talk. This makes me think that a large base of their readers could be younger 18-25 university degree aged. After further browsing, a lot of the articles revisit films and directors works from the 80’s etc. This could be directed at some older readers that are interested in film and enjoy looking back at films from their own childhood. They may have been following a specific director their whole life.
Since the magazine focuses on filmmaking, a lot of its audience potentially is made up of those who are interested in /or do make independent films themselves. The purpose of this magazine is to advertise and inform about new independent films and upcoming directors. as well as looking back onto past films and works. There are columns about how to market these films and about representation.
{ ARKITEKT }
This is a high-end fictional architecture magazine. The target audience seems to be people who have an interest in architecture, students and even professionals. If I were to estimate I think that the target audiences’ age would be around 18 - 40+, this is because due to the minimalistic layout/colour palette and sleek design the magazine seems to appeal to a wide demographic.
I think the main purpose of the magazine is to show appreciation for architecture and to showcase architecture from all across the globe. I think that this could be a very interesting magazine to look at.
