Q1) How does your magazine represent particular social groups?My magazine represents my social group as it addresses various topics in the cover lines that my research indicated was interesting to the target audience. The college student niche market specifically requested in my survey the various offers and advice which I have displayed as cover lines. This will help me draw in and reach my target audience. The language style is also simple, friendly and appealing, which will also help me to interact with my audience.

Q2) How did you attract/address your audience?My target audience was attracted by the use of appealing offers to the social group as well as the use of informal and relaxed language. This will make the message I want to give to the market clear to understand and will then make them want to read more of my magazine. The use of bold text and imagery also lets people easy identify my magazine, which will bring in my target audience.

Q3) What aspects of your work are you pleased with and why?I am pleased with the visuals of my magazine work, as it has consistent themes, both through the research and in my final magazine products. The magazine is bold and clear, with bright colours that tie in with a theme. I also like the way my cover lines and offers are all relevant and appealing to my target audience, further boosting the appeal of my magazine to my niche market. Additionally, I like how, on my contents page, I have created a QR code externally which links in to one of the offers in the magazine.

Q4) What aspects could be improved?To improve my work, I feel as though some of the folios in the furniture on the contents page could be aligned better with the first hand graphics and straplines to make it easier to read, although it doesn’t take away from the contents page’s visuals overall.
