Defining Audience for a certain Media text

I have chose to define the audience for this magazine:

This magazines audience is for men who are between the ages of 20-30 that are interested in designer brand fashion and who earn quite a high income.
I would say this magazine is for the ages between 20-30 because for the centre image for this magazine, they have Justin Timberlake,he is around that age, and also magazines tend to put someone as the cover image because they are idols to the particular magazine.  
I also think that this magazine it for people that are quite high up the socio-economic group because of the way the magazine is laid out.  There isn't much cover lines and extra information about what is inside this magazine, so it shows that this magzine isn't "gossipy" and that  giving you plenty of information isn't this magazines way of selling itself.  And quite often people who are higher up in the socio-economic don't tend to interested in celebrities lives. 
The other thing I have realised is that the font of it all its in capital letters, this can show that mean who buy this magazine are quite dominant and powerful, which can suggest that the audience of this magazine has quite a high status.
