The document discusses how the author attracted their target audience of 17-22 year olds who enjoy indie music for their magazine cover and contents page. They conducted audience research which found this age group preferred indie music. For the cover, they chose a model wearing plain clothes typically worn by this audience. They emphasized the masthead to attract attention and included many photos and information on the contents page as their research found this engaged audiences. They also dressed models and edited photos to match the indie genre and included a website link to provide more content for audiences.

1. 5. How did you attract the audience/address the audience?
To attract my intended audience age
group, I carried out a survey for various
different age limits as part of my audience
research and found that the majority of
people whom preferred Indie music were
from 17-22, which is the age limit I was
intending for.
From my feedback, I was told that my
image was professional and suitable for a
cover. I simply followed the conventions
of existing material by learning the skills
how to edit on Photoshop and then
applying that to my own.
In order to attract my audience and
connect them with my magazine
straight away, I decided to emphasise
the masthead making it bold and one
of the largest feature on this page.
My intention target audience is
people whom generally enjoy Indie
music. To achieve this, I carefully
chose my costume for my model.
The jumper being plain links nicely
with the background, but also
presents the clothes my intended
target audience would most likely
wear. This would conclude in my
audience finding my magazine cover
alluring and relatable.

2. 5. How did you attract the audience/address the audience?
I decided to add in several features
of my magazine onto the contents
page, from my audience research, it
came to light that the majority of
people preferred information and a
variety of photographs across a
magazine. As you can see, I have
produced a load of information
about what's featuring inside the
magazine and a wide selection of
images across the page too, which
will help gain the audiences interest.
I wanted to address my audience by
making sure that I stuck to the genre
Indie, to successfully engage I had to
make my magazine more relatable
for the intended audience. I dressed
my models in particular clothing to
suit the genre. I also edited the
pictures of the concert to have a
Indie style.
My intended audience age groups
would range from 16-25. From this, I
decided I would add significant
information, as these ages are much
more independent and interested as
to finding out more information
about something they are attracted
too. I included a website link at the
bottom so that my audience could
find out more issues of the magazine.
I incorporated 4 different images
onto my magazine as people from my
survey said that they preferred
having loads of images. My images
consist of different people, women
and male at concerts as well as
soloists.

3. 5. How did you attract the audience/address the audience?
The colour theme is
consistent throughout all of
my designs. This was to
keep the audience interested
and continue to read on.
With regards to this DPS,
the colour scheme works
well and attracts the
audience because it shows a
variety of colours and
doesn’t specify any specific
gender.
I decided to place my model
towards the right hand side
of my DPS, I made sure he
giving some form of
emotion to engage the
reader to the story. I believe
this will engage the
audience more into reading
about his article as you
would fell more involved
and interested about his
musical career and life.
From researching and
looking at various current
magazine DPS some of the
most popular magazines in
which I took inspiration
from had different layouts
in different issues. I was
inspired to create this DPS
as I had seen and analysed a
similar one whilst doing my
magazine research. To fit in
with the criteria of
addressing the audience, I
wanted to include images
and text which would be
successful within gaining
attraction from my target
audience.
