5. How did I attract/address my audience?


Obviously the main way that I attracted my audience was by including the model on my front cover who is posing as a music artist and celebrity. This will always attract the fans of this musician, who are likely to just see him on the front cover of my magazine and will take a keen interest in what my magazine has to say about him, and possibly something that they didn’t already know about him. Another technique that I used was that I included a brightly coloured theme throughout my magazine. For instance, across the main image of my front cover I have the words ‘Double Page Exclusive With Mr r’, which I felt had to stand out more than other aspects of the page, so I placed it right in the middle of the page, across the main image and I highlighted two of the words that were in the middle and on a black background, which was the model’s t shirt. The two words that were highlighted in the bright cyan blue colour, which features throughout my magazine, were ‘page exclusive’. The word exclusive would attract people to look at the rest of sentence, which goes on to explain who the exclusive is with. I kept the same few colours throughout my magazine to make sure that it all matches nicely and is easy to look at. All of the writing on my front cover matches the logo of my magazine, which is a good way to keep it different from other magazines. I feel that this technique challenged conventions of other real life magazines.
