QUESTION 5: HOW DID YOU ATTRACT/ADDRESS YOU AUDIENCE?

Using my audience research from before I have outlined my guideline, I have chosen to attract my target audience in different ways. Firstly I attracted my target audience is through front cover of my music magazine. Which the models have a crucial effect for me attracting my audience. My models are females and teenagers aged 16-17 and both pop music lovers. I have chosen these models because they appeal to my target audience although I am aiming at both genders I have decided to use two female models to attract audiences.

The type of language text I have used for my magazine in formal and understandable text. This is because I wanted to use Standard English because my magazine is ‘POP’ and its more formal if I had done an RnB magazine I would of used street language. Moreover, because my target audiences are more students and workers it has to be understandable and formal English. The cover lines font of the magazine is normal and bold this is because to attract audience and let know them what is in the magazine. It was important for me to choose the appropriate Font for the cover lines; this is because it could change the view of the buyers or audience when they first see the front cover of the magazine. I have chosen ARIAL to make it formal and easy to read also in bold for it to stand out as well.

The costume I made my models wear was appropriate to the context and also to the genre of the magazine. The clothing is also modern and fashionable. The model on the left is wearing a hot pink blouse with shiny leggings , her accessories are : white fabric rose ring and she has a Chinese writing on her arm , also her makeup is suitable for the style of pop music she has pink tones of eye shadow and black eyeliner. The other model on the right is wearing more comfort style clothing, she is wearing a jumper that says smile on it also she is wearing black leggings as well and she is wearing a silver skull head ring. These costumes and accessories have a big impact on attracting audiences because the image stands out and the audience is going to look at the image first because its eye catchy.

Moreover usually front covers and contents page have images on it to attract the eye of teh audience for them to purchase the magazine. it is important to relate the costume to the genre or theme of the magazine which this would make the audience easy to allocate what magazine appeals to them.
