2. Target Audience The target audience I will be aiming my magazine at would be anyone aged 16-25 that has an interest in Heavy Metal music and its sub-genres.

As you can see Kerrang! Use the same Masthead for every issue, however changing its dominance on the page and its colour every now and then for special occasions.
