To attract their target rock music audience, the magazine creator: 1) Priced the magazine at £2.99, below average prices of similar magazines, to be affordable. 2) Used a dark color scheme of red, yellow, green, and black along with eye-catching images to give the magazine a grungy, anarchic aesthetic associated with rock music. 3) Featured a grungy, anarchic design related to rock music and the artists and lifestyle of that genre to attract fans of rock music.

1. Q5. How did you attract/address your
audience?

2. To ensure my magazine would sell well I decided to chose a price for the
Rock music magazine that is suitable and is reasonable. To find out the
average price of similar magazines I looked in my local supermarket and
compared the prices of popular best selling magazines. My magazine falls
quite a bit under that. The price of that I have chosen for my music
magazine is £2.99 so that it is cheap and affordable for the target audience
that I have designed my music magazine to attract.

3. I will attract my audience by keeping within the conventions of Rock music
magazines, and the rebellious, anarchic aesthetic that my audience are
interested in and are attracted to. I chose the colours scheme that I have for
my music magazine to give the magazine a dark and anarchic aesthetic that
is associated with the genre of Rock music, with red, yellow, green and
black the image of Akos which is the main focus of the pages is really
extenuated and stands out a lot and is really eye-catching.

4. To attract my target audience I have used a grungy and anarchic
aesthetic that is related to rock music and this will attract the
audience that follows that genre of music and the artists and
lifestyle that go with it.

5. The use of language on my front cover is just normal everyday
colloquial English so that it is easy for the audience to read and
understand, for the language on the front cover I did not want to use
such a formal text as it is not a classical music magazine but I thought
that it would be more appropriate to use standard formal English so
that the music magazine that I have created will have a wider audience
base and will be easier for people to understand. I didn’t use any
profanity in the magazine so that it is suitable for a wider age range. If I
were to describe I would describe the music magazine that I have
created as a chilled out, but anarchic and rebellious feel.
