Evaluation-Question 5



How did you attract/address your audience?

When my magazine is first launched it would be likely to appear on shelves in the supermarket, newsagents and shops such as WHSmith. This is a popular ground base in which magazines that circle music, fashion and lifestyle are distributed and sold. On my cover I’ve used an image of three girls using direct address; this draws the reader in and makes them want to purchase the magazine, it also makes the customer feel involved within the magazine. The cover lines that featured on my magazine were short and simple which made them grabbing for the audience. By doing this, I made sure I used different style of fonts to make it look both attractive but also eye drawing. They are all in similar font sizes, the reason for this is that I didn’t want my magazine to have a main selling point. 

The masthead is big, black and bold which gets the attention of the reader. The colours I’ve used are a mixture of three which means the magazine throughout doesn’t appeal messy.  I found one of the easiest ways to attract the audience was by relating it to things they aspire to. I wanted to make sure the language I was using was very much similar to how my specific age range was likely to speak; this was a way of enticing the reader. I tend to use eye-catching images that give the impression that the magazine revolves around fashion. Overall when creating my magazine, my main priority was to keep the stereotypical girl key interests at heart.
