How did you attract/ address your audience?
For my music magazine I tried to include several different things that would attract and address an audience. Therefore I tried to make my magazine unique so I did a mixed genre magazine so it would appeal to a larger audience as if it was just pop it would only address people that like pop music, however my magazine appeals to anyone that likes indie, pop, RnB or hip pop music.
In order to attract attention to my magazine I tried to make my front cover eye catching as in my questionnaire results many people conveyed that the front cover was the first thing they noticed when flicking through a magazine. To make my front cover stand out I used a simple but vibrant colour theme of white, black and red, as my questionnaire results conveyed people like a vibrant colour theme.
My layout is simple however it is unusual as most conventional music magazines have the main image in the centre, however I choose to tilt my main image at an angle to the side to represent one half of her has turn bad. By using a celebrity that is well known would attract the readers as they are familiar with her good nature, therefore to find out she is going bad would make them curious and want to read the article. The lettering is all in the same font making the page look sophisticated, professional and not too crazy, although over crowded front pages may attract the eye they can look tacky and target towards a younger audience.
I think the style of my media product addresses a large market because it has so many different genres; it is unisex and also very varied.
The main colours I used for my front cover are my house colours, which means I used the same colours throughout the contents and double page spread.
For my contents page I used a plain white background to keep make everything placed on it will stand out to the audience. I used a black background to highlight the page and put the words features and regulars in a black box as these two words are key information to what the magazine contains, therefore it addresses the audience and makes it easy to identify things. I also used bold red lines to separate the stories so it is easy for the audience to understand what pages the articles are on. My pictures are all very colourful therefore they will immediately attract the audience to take an interest in them and by adding a colourful pug will draw in attention as it stands out and it’s an expensive give away, which will encourage the audience to buy the magazine even more. My contents page looks very full however it will persuade the audience to purchase it as they can seem by the contents page they are getting their money’s worth.
For my double page spread I made it original as I used a main image that blended in the background making the editing look professional but also gives an impression of her dark side. The interview is very visible and there is not too much text all cramped on the page, as too much text can put a reader off and also make it long dull and boring. The main headline also addresses the audience as it contrasts with the background and the words love and bad stand out to grab their attention as they are both in red whilst the rest of the headline is in white and they are also of a totally different font to the rest of the magazine pages. Overall all the pages are readable, fun and would attract the audience as they all stand out in a unique way, it would target and adress a large audience as even if you didn't like RnB music but you liked the indie artist on the front they would still purchase the magazine.
