Evaluation Question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?

Considering my music magazine, the main way I attracted my target audience was through the use of my color scheme. I used purple and pink as main colors which are typically aimed at young girls as them are my main target audience. I also used an exciting font for my masthead ‘Unplugged’ which is in bold and bright color so it stands out more on light background and that way it attracts the audience. I added a barcode, date and issue number so the magazine looks more legalistic and also it gives the audience a clear fact and the price also has been placed within the barcode.

One the contents page I have gone about attracting my audience through having a colorful circle with a story feature, I made in bright color so it directly attracts the audience. Also I've used page numbers in different style as having arrows flowing a number that also makes an interesting feature.

On my double page spread, I have gone about attracting my audience by using images of my model, Ricki, arranged in a film strip type of frame and placing two of the artist images inside to present in an interesting way.

My magazine also attracts the audience as it has the quality and doesn't seem to be child’s magazine as its more formal and appealing.

I have also gathered some feedback from some people who would want to read my magazine. I have asked them what they found interesting in the magazine and on what I can improve on. The data I have collected is shown below:

To find out what people like to have in a music magazine, I have created a chart and collected some responses from people and found that most of people want to see interviews of different artists, knowing about concerts/ gigs and having posters in a magazine that would also attracts the audience.
