EVALUATION QUESTION 5

1. 5. How would you attract/address
your audience?

2. I think my magazine would attract the needs of my target audience because of the
research I carried out such as creating a survey for my target market asking what
they expect to see in a magazine and what they preferred. This is because I would
know what was relevant to include in my magazine content. Therefore, this would
also give me an idea of what appealed to them because it was important for me to
know what my target market wanted from my magazine, so I could try and address
most of their needs and wants. In which I feel like I accomplished as I feel I pleased
my target market as I tried to explore and address the type of genre my magazine
was biased around, I felt I did this by covering their interests from a pop magazine.
Overall the main aim of my magazine was to attract young female teenagers in
which I used a variety of different aspects to ensure my magazine would appeal
and attract to them.

3. Here are some of the main
questions I asked in my survey and
the results I got from my target
market to see what they would like
to feature in my magazine. This
information helped me to decide on
certain aspects like what they find
most appealing in a magazine and
what they like to see on a double
page-Article or an interview, and
most importantly the pricing of my
magazine.

4. I used a banner at the top of my
magazine to catch the readers
attention to hopefully get them to
buy the magazine.
The font I used was from online on a website
called Dafont- http://www.dafont.com/ the
name of the font I used was called
“ Rakoon” I chose to use this specific
masthead because I felt it fitted extremely well
with the genre magazine. Which I edited to a
bright pink colour so it was able to stand out
and catch the eye of young female teenagers.
This was also the most preferred by most
people as I asked a variety of people what they
thought would be the most appropriate
masthead for a pop magazine in which most
people chose this.
The main image of my magazine also helps
to attract my target audience as it is a mid-
shot of the artists looking straight towards
the camera and smiling. Therefore, this
portrays to readers that it is a fun and
cheeky magazine which welcomes readers
to read it. Furthermore, the clothing she is
wearing also attracts my target audience as
she is wearing bright colours to show that it
is a positive magazine.
I priced my magazine at £2.50 as from my
questionnaire results most people said they
would pay £2.50 for a magazine. Also because it
is not to exspensive for my target audience as
they are quite young.
I used a variety of cover
lines and artists on my
front page this is so each
artist could address their
interests from my
magazine and that specific
artist. I also made sure
that all of my cover lines
were quite short and basic
this is simply because of
my target market being
quite young. Therefore, it
allows them to get an
insight of what the
magazine features.

5. Again I used the
“ Rakoon” form Dafont.com
which I also edited to a bright
pink colour in order for it to
stand out on the page which is
the same as my masthead on my
front cover. Following the house
style throughout my magazine.
I also included a message from a
staff writer to the readers of my
magazine. I did this because it
attracts my target audience to
read my magazine it is telling
them what is featured inside. It
also gives readers an idea of what
is the most interesting and best
things included in the magazine
making it slightly more direct to
the audience as it is a personal
message.
I also included pictures on my
contents page, in the majority of
the pictures the girls are smiling.
Therefore, this attracts the
audience as it is making the
magazine more inviting and fun
for the readers.
Different features on my
contents page has been split
into different sections. This
allows my magazine to
address the audience as it is
easier to locate within the
magazine and follow
Each heading font is white therefore,
this shows that I have continued to use
the house style and does throughout
the magazine. Also the fact that it is
against the pink makes it stand out
more because of it being more bright.
In which the pink used throughout the
page allows me to attract my female
audience as the colour pink is often
associated with females as it is very
gender oriented and used within many
pop magazines.

6. The main image on
this page takes up
half of the double
page spread which
is something which
is often used on
article pages. The
girl is turn’t slightly
to the side with her
fingers on her lips.
This is quite
different to the
image on my front
cover as she is
being more
reserved.
Therefore, the
picture suggests
that the interview is
going to be quite
cheeky and is
probably going to
be revealing
information about
herself. This means
that this would
attract my audience
as when they see
this picture it would
make them want to
read the interview
and see what
information she
reveals.
The quote reveals
that star is has been
inspired by current
artists in the music
industry. This will
attract my audience
as it is allowing them
to get information
from the article
making them want to
reader further into it.
I put the main title
“ ACCESS ALL AVERY”
to show the
importance of the
article and the actual
artist. Therefore, this
would attract the
audience attention to
read the article.
I have written the
questions In pink so
they stand out more
on the page. Also
the colour pink
attracts my young
female audience my
magazine has been
biased around.
