5. HOW WOULD YOU ATTRACT/ ADDRESS YOU

AUDIENCE?

The target audience for the magazine I have created is adults. I chose this audience as UK adolescents are less likely to listen to country music or to purchase music magazines. Adults are my target audience as some may find the country music genre interesting so by having a rare music genre based magazine available to those who might only see pop music or rock magazines, the diverse magazine ‘Country Beat’ might come across as new and interesting.

EVALUATION 4

In order to attract an older audience, I avoided bight pinks, yellows, greens and blues and settled for a more earth toned scheme such as browns. This would be more suitable as bright colours might be used to attract younger audiences. I also avoided using too many images where possible to avoid making the magazine look childish although still including images to make the double page spread more eff ective to the audience.

EVALUATION 5

The main image only

contains bare colours

while the cover lines

and the background follow too,

I appeal to my audience by using a new country artist on the cover and including very well-known artists that might convince the readers to buy the magazine. The magazine features Carrie Underwood, Mariah Carey and Brad paisley who might be known amongst an adult audience.
