1. Q5: How did
you
attract/addre
ss your
audience?

2. This will appeal to my audience because it has…
A plug advertising a competition. Every body loves a competition.
Furthermore shows off two things. One is that you get to meet mixtape,
and the second is that it’s in London.
It has 100 fashion catwalk copies. My audience will be interested in fashion
and this will offer cheaper alternative. It’s not 99 catwalk copies, it’s 100!
Is that Justin Bieber on the front cover? Yes. My target audience will be
obsessed with Justin Bieber as it seems that the majority of girls of the
target ages have ‘Bieber fever’ or are ‘beliebers’. This is a key selling point
to the magazine. It offers them reassurance that they are a match with
Justin Bieber.
The magazine is only £2.00. My target audience wont have much money as they are
young and would buy this magazine with their pocket money. That is why I have
decided this price. This would definitely appeal to the audience and would make
my magazine stand out form competitors.
I have featured big names on my magazine, Lucy (who is a made up Pop star but
just pretend she isn’t) Daniel who is the magazines favourite critic, his article
would have really funny articles on the latest albums.
Lady Gaga
Justin Bieber
Katy Perry
Girls Aloud
These are all selling points to the magazine that would encourage my target
audience to buy the magazine.
The magazine gives off a welcoming girly feel. It gives an insight into the
exclusive interviews and glittery luxury feel to the magazine.
The contents page
If my audience happen to flick through the magazine whilst considering their
purchase they will see on my contents page that there are lots and lots of
posters.
Posters was a key selling point to the magazine. It attracts the audience to buy
the magazine.
Also the really great main image of autumn would attract someone to buy the
magazine.
I feel that it is a good image and makes you want to buy the magazine and look at
the other images.
A offer when you subscribe to the magazine is a great way off attracting my

8. The key to attracting anyone to your media product is to have something for everybody. I think
having a variety of features will encourage the audience to buy the product as it all hangs down
to that one thing that catches your eye. Obviously they can’t be too varied as the magazine still
needs to stick to its genre. The main image is the first thing you tend to see on a magazine front
cover, so it’s important to put up a celebrity that a lot of people will instantly recognise and are
genuinely interested in. Looking at my research I think that the most attractive thing on my front
cover is the main image as it became the most popular on my poll and my questionnaire
showed positive feedback on my main image. This is surprising as I didn’t think that this would
be the most attracting feature to my audience. I feel that my magazine has met the requirement
for my target audience never the less and certainly sticks to the genre. I’m not sure if there is
enough ‘going on’ on my front cover as I think it looks a bit boring. My feedback has made me
realise that my audiences opinion is the most important.
