In extra research, I was searching through the internet looking at reader profiles. I looked at 'Uncut' reader profile and I also looked at 'NME' reader profile. I will first begin to speak about 'Uncut's' reader profile. This reader profile is very detailed and lively. It uses a lot of colourful images to entice people into the actual magazine itself. The profile consists of images that would relate to the target audience, and also shows old editions of the magazine. It states what the magazine is and about the technology of the magazine. It then gives us statistics of the magazine. Having a reader profile, is useful for the instituion because it gives us as the readers an insight into the background of the magazine.
This is also similiar to the reader profile of 'NME'. The reader profile is intrestingly very similiar to Uncut's reader profile. As soon as you come onto the profile, your screen is covered in colours and images, this makes it look friendly and very welcoming. The images are of general everyday things, for example random tshirts and so on. So here they have used images so people can then relate to that. Yet again like Uncut, they have also provided old editions of the magazine through time. The information then included for the readers profile is information the same as Uncut, being the technology behind the magazine, the age of the readers and intertesting statistics and facts like that. It even goes in to such detail, it speaks of the dimensions of their pages! Having a reader profile for NME helps, as NME is such a successful magazine and has a lot of readers, readers are then able to have knowledge behind the magazine they are reading, and strangely enough, they are also able to trust the magazine company, in the sense that they feel as readers that the magazine is telling us the truth and being honest, this makes everything feel more personal.
