3. For Task 25 Evaluation Activity 5 I am going to
explain how my completed magazine attracts and
appealing to the target audience for my magazine.
I will include factors like the house style, types of
models, shot types and colours.
The target audience is male dominant 14-24
teenagers/young adults who are interested in Rock
and pop music. The magazine appeals to a mass
audience.
4. The Male model represent teenagers as the rock type who
are rebellious. This type appeals more to the male audience
which is my primary target audience.
The magazines genre is pop and rock. The series of images
on the left third contains the rock feel because of the amp
and his posture. He also fits the target audience of young
adults who are male.
The model is aged 16 (aged between 14-24 which is the age
range for the target audience. Therefore making the cover
appeal to the target audience. The model is male which is
also the primary target audience.
My dominant image is very male dominated as the model is a
male and looks very smug and powerful. This appeals more
to males, however, females are also attracted to the image
appealing to them.
The house colours of black, white and red are very masculine
which appeal to the male gender more than the female
gender. It also is associated with pop and rock as red is a
vibrant colour like pop, and black is a dark colour like Rock.
5. The model is male and in the target audiences age range
therefore represents the target audience as a role model as
they are successful and could inspire the audience.
The guitar prop proposes that the magazine is about acoustic
music also, therefore increasing the target audience to
people interested in acoustic music
The house colours are continued throughout to the contents
page which are very masculine colours and therefore more
appeals to the target audience which is more aimed at males.
The writing style in the index and editors note are informal
and the tone is friendly and casual. This appeals to the target
audience as they don’t want to read a huge amount of text
which uses complex language. They would find it much more
interesting if it was basic and informative.
6. The house colours

pages. The house colours
are male dominant and
The copy on the page is written therefore appeal to the
for the target audience using male audience more than

magazine.
The model in the DPS Pages is
male which is the primary
target audience for my
magazine and appeals to
males because he is like a
role model to them as he is a
similar age and gender, yet
very successful therefore

range for the magazines

friendly person.

to the rock genre which is a
section of the target audience

The advertorial on the page
appeals to the younger
generation as it is digitally

the internet our people in the
age range.
7. Conclusion
I have identified the elements in my magazines four pages
which will attract the target audience for my magazine and
make them buy the issue. I also explained how I will
address them and represent them through the models.
I believe the unique selling point fro WHO? Magazine is
that the magazine isn’t focusing on a niche market,
whereas has a mass market as it covers a lot of different
genres of music therefore appealing to more types of
people. It also isn’t hugely male dominant meaning that
females would also buy the magazine and enjoy it.
