evaluation for my media studies

1. Evaluation of my media
product
Harry Short

2. what would be the audience for
your media product?
• The audience for my media product is
mainly males of the 16-21 age category
simply because they are the more influental
age group and if i represented both
genders in the right way which is
conventional to dance music magazines it
would persuade them to buy the magazine.
Also the general layout and colouring of my
magazine would edge it more towards a
male dominant magazine. The way I have
represented males in my magazine would
appeal to males of my target age group
because they are the most curious age
group and if the males in my magazine
were represented as mysterious they would
be more inclined to buy the magazine.
• The colours I used will appeal to my target
audience as they are seen as more boyish
colours than girly ones and darker colours
which will appeal to men more, The layout
will appeal to everyone I hope but it is
aimed at males through the colours I have The male on the front cover of my
used and the fonts I have used
magazine has sunglasses on to
hide identity and add mystery,
this is continued throughout my
magazine

3. How did you attract/address your
audience?
• I used direct address of my models to catch a potential readers attention. I
also use contrasting colour schemes which catch the eye, my chosen colour
scheme was black/white/red which contrast eachother and stand out alot. I
also kept alot of the text basic but still adequate enough to make a lengthy
DPS article. I also attracted my audience through the use of fonts which
where basic but aesthetically pleasing. By using direct address on my
audience it catches their eye and makes them want to buy my magazine
more as the look of the models will appeal to them as fashionable and as
icons. I also attracted my audience with the clothes the models wear as
many people in my target audience follow fashion it seemed critical that I
dressed my models in fashionable clothing. To also attract the audience I
used puffs and pugs as well as flashes which stand out a lot from the rest of
my magazine
