reader demographics The target readers for this magazine are females aged 18-25, with a great interest in art, fashion, and culture as it relates to them. Nixon caters to a more intelligent and independent reader than other fashion magazines tend to that are also targeted at the same age group. Nixon offers a personal conversation like tone, as if it is two friends conversing passionately about what is on their mind. This magazine’s core idea is to be visually appealing and rich with photographs and art, but balanced by articles that are both avant garde and well articulated. This magazine is a keepsake, so much so that its readers do not even dare to rip out a page to make into their own collage. They keep the publications intact and in good condition.
