Evaluation Question 5

How did you attract/Address your audience?

The way in which I attracted my audience was in many different ways, I firstly tried to showpiece the type of genre the magazine is, by using various artists and bands in the rock/indie genre in my magazine. Such as: The Vaccines, Kodaline, Maximo Park, The Futureheads and Frankie & The Heartstrings. All included on the front page of my magazine as sell lines. This will show my audience that these bands are included and the magazine is set to a specific audience.

I have addressed my audience informally so that, the Magazine articles are not seen to be too serious. This makes for a better read of the articles as they are more fun to read. Because they include rather profane statements and simple words within the article, included on the double page spread. I have also written on my contents page. An editors note, this is written very informally and has praised the readers for buying the magazine online, and allowing a printed article to be created. The editors note is only brief and consumers can choose not to read it if they want so it is kept short and simple.

I also have used a set colour scheme within my article as the audience is unisex I wanted to keep neutral colours so that they would not be off-put by the magazine being too manly or girly. On my front cover I have used a band that has 3 male subjects as the main image. Their is no particular reason I have used male subjects however, Females may be attracted to them and make them want to buy the magazine just for this reason. On the other hand Males just might like the band and the music they produce.
