1. 5) How did you attract and
address the audience?

2. My magazine follows the uses and gratification theory
as in my magazine you should be able to get each of
the 4 reasons that a person buys media.
Here are the four reasons:
-Knowledge
-Person Identity
-Entertainment
-Feel part of the group

3. Knowledge
My front cover, contents page and double page spread all include knowledge and
information. A reader is likely to buy the magazine because they want to find out something
knew, and get new knowledge from the magazines. I used articles and subheadings to show
that my magazine will be rich in new information.
This is an example on my front cover. The use of
the word ‘reveal’ suggests that this is new
information. So by buying the magazine they will
find out something other do not know- making
them feel part of something.
Again, on my contents page I have used works like
‘tells us’ and ‘spills’ to attract the reader to the
magazine to find out the new information
My double page spread also include new
information which will provide the reader with
information about the up and coming singer-
Morgan Taylor. By writing ‘share all’ It connects
with the reader and makes them feel like this is
exclusive and new information just for them, so
it attracts them.

4. Personal Identity
My magazine gives the reader the idea of a
personal identity.

5. Entertainment
My magazine provides entertainment. It is a magazine that focus’ on the music but
also the artist behind the music. My magazine is informal and is light
hearted, therefore it is entertaining to read.
My double page spread is of a ‘share all’ interview with a new singer, which the
reader will find interesting and fun to read. As it is like they are connecting with the
signer, they get entertainment and enjoyment from the magazine. My colour
scheme and images are fun as they are bright and unserious, providing
entertainment. My subheadings and use of language are informal and don’t touch
on serious topics, therefore people would choose to read the magazine for when
they are looking for something entertaining to do.
As my magazine is aimed at 17-25 year olds that like the chart genre music, they are
going to get entertainment from the magazine, as it is full of information that is
suitable and interesting for them.

6. To feel part of the group
Not many UK music magazines are chart magazines, but as mine is it is likely going
to be popular because it is rare. This means that more people will buy it and be
reading it. Those that haven’t bought it will then feel like they should buy it so
they fit in to the current trend. I attracted the audience in to buying this
magazine, by many different factors. The clothing the musician on the front cover
wears, is more likely going to make young adults ( the target audience) want to
buy the clothes so they fit in to the society.

7. I also attracted the audience buzz words,
such as ‘inside’, ‘free’ and ‘brand new’.
These words are likely to entice the reader
in to buying the magazine as they want to
see what is inside, what is free and what is
brand new.
I have also done a tag line under my mast
head saying ‘The only official chart
magazine!’ This is going to attract the
audience as they want to read the ‘only’
chart magazine that there is so that they say
involved.
My front cover image is of a young female,
this is likely to attract the young audience as
the women who buy the magazine will buy
it because they admire the singer and want
to be and dress like her. The male audience
will buy the magazine as they are attracted
to her and want to find out more about her.

8. The audience of my magazine is
people who like the genre of chart
music. The cover lines of my magazine
is likely to attract the audience, as it is
talking about musicians that they will
know because they are in the charts,
and they will probably like them.
