How did you attract/address your audience?

My magazine used a variety of techniques to attract the audience and address my audience the colours , photos and

language are used specifically to attract the audience that would read a magazine based on the ‘ Alternative rock’ genre I

have chosen. In the diagram below I will discuss the feature and how they are used to attract my audience.

The language I have used is fairly formal which might not be a good this however

this might attract an audience that prefer a magazine that does not use swearing or

vulgar language. There is however some jargon in this magazine this would attract

my target audience.

The black and white

images are edgy and

give the magazine a

classic feel also it

is goes with the

colour theme I have.

This might attract an

older as well as

younger audience

making the audience I

am at wider. Also the

models are young

attracting a younger

audience.

The broken lettering

also has the same

effect as the ripped

panel again the

audience that would

find this music genre

interesting would like

this sort of this would

attract the audience I

have targeted.

The ripped edges would draw my audience as

this genre is rough and heavy the ripped

edges show the destructive side of this

music genre so the audience that reads it

would like this sort of decorating.

The colours I

have chosen are

bold and dark and

are often

associated with

the genre of

alternative rock

and the darker

stereotype. This

would attract the

audience as the

fans tend to like

this colour. They

wear clothes of

this colour.

Delivering the product

right to the door

would make it more

desirable as the

readers would not have

to physically go out

and buy the product.

This would make the

magazine more

desirable.

The QR would make my

magazine more

desirable for the

younger audience who

would probably have

a code scanning app

on their mobile

phone.

The fact that the magazine offers free tickets as a

prize would attract the audience that have an

interest in the band or group this would attract the

fans of a particular group or genre of music.

The features and

new sections create

a wider audience

range than just

young readers as

they have some

classic alternative

rock bands which

might attract an

older audience.

The gigs would

gain the interest

of fans of a

genre of music or

band this would

attract more

people that are

interested in

live gigs.

The large quite of the star is quite a

colloquial piece of text it is not

formal this shows that the magazine is

aimed at a younger audience and

addresses them accordingly. Also the

colour of the font follows the scheme

I have chosen, this colour scheme

links to the target audience as I said

before the colour clothes they wear or

the colours that are most associated

with this group of people.

The content would attract an audience as

it is an interview from the singer, this

would be desirable to read as it shows

them the singers point of view. The

language is simple and easy to read this

would attract buyers as a magazine

article that is easy to read might be

better.

The colour scheme follows through the pages I have created I have chosen

these colours as they are often stereotypically linked to my target

audience.

The guitar

back drop

also

relates to

the

audience

as this is

a key part

of this

genre of

music.

This would

draw in

people

that like

this

instrument

thus

making my

more

desirable

for a

wider

range of

people.

The phrase above the masthead might draw in an audience

that has this same way of thinking also it makes the

magazine title catchy therefore making it unforgettable

this woiudl make more people desire this magazine .

The masthead is

not even and it

is messy this

would draw in

an audience as

this genre of

music is quite

rebellious and

wild this might

represent that

and the

audience might

find this more

appropriate for

this type of

magazine.

The model is in

black and white

this adds to

the classic

nature of the

magazine it

also appears

edgy like the

music. The

model looks

quite serious

this also

reflects the

genre of music

as it is

generally quite

serious. The

fact that the

model is young

and female

might attract

more of the

younger female

audience.

The images are

also appealing

as they show

the band/singer

this would give

the audience an

idea of the

article this

would make it

more appealing

to fans of a

band/singer.

This in would

attract more of

my target

audience.

The articles

address the

audience

informally this

would appeal to

younger people

as this is the

way that they

talk a lot of

the time. Also

the colours go

with the theme

for reasons I

have said in

the previous

pages.

The free poster

would attract

an audience

because they

would get

something

‘Free’ this is

always

appealing to

any audience

also this would

appeal to

younger people

as they

stereotypically

do not have a

lot of money

and getting

something free

would be

appealing for

this age group.

The bar on the bottom would attract a bigger audience

because there are some classic rock bands on this would

interest the older generation as the music would be

something that they are familiar with.
