1. How did you attract/address your audience?
My magazine used a variety of techniques to attract the audience and address my audience the colours , photos and
language are used specifically to attract the audience that would read a magazine based on the ‘ Alternative rock’ genre I
have chosen. In the diagram below I will discuss the feature and how they are used to attract my audience.
The language I have used is fairly formal which might not be a good this however
this might attract an audience that prefer a magazine that does not use swearing or
vulgar language. There is however some jargon in this magazine this would attract
my target audience.
The black and white
images are edgy and
give the magazine a
classic feel also it
is goes with the
colour theme I have.
This might attract an
older as well as
younger audience
making the audience I
am at wider. Also the
models are young
attracting a younger
audience.
The broken lettering
also has the same
effect as the ripped
panel again the
audience that would
find this music genre
interesting would like
this sort of this would
attract the audience I
have targeted.
The ripped edges would draw my audience as
this genre is rough and heavy the ripped
edges show the destructive side of this
music genre so the audience that reads it
would like this sort of decorating.
The colours I
have chosen are
bold and dark and
are often
associated with
the genre of
alternative rock
and the darker
stereotype. This
would attract the
audience as the
fans tend to like
this colour. They
wear clothes of
this colour.
Delivering the product
right to the door
would make it more
desirable as the
readers would not have
to physically go out
and buy the product.
This would make the
magazine more
desirable.
The QR would make my
magazine more
desirable for the
younger audience who
would probably have
a code scanning app
on their mobile
phone.
The fact that the magazine offers free tickets as a
prize would attract the audience that have an
interest in the band or group this would attract the
fans of a particular group or genre of music.
The features and
new sections create
a wider audience
range than just
young readers as
they have some
classic alternative
rock bands which
might attract an
older audience.
The gigs would
gain the interest
of fans of a
genre of music or
band this would
attract more
people that are
interested in
live gigs.

2. The large quite of the star is quite a
colloquial piece of text it is not
formal this shows that the magazine is
aimed at a younger audience and
addresses them accordingly. Also the
colour of the font follows the scheme
I have chosen, this colour scheme
links to the target audience as I said
before the colour clothes they wear or
the colours that are most associated
with this group of people.
The content would attract an audience as
it is an interview from the singer, this
would be desirable to read as it shows
them the singers point of view. The
language is simple and easy to read this
would attract buyers as a magazine
article that is easy to read might be
better.
The colour scheme follows through the pages I have created I have chosen
these colours as they are often stereotypically linked to my target
audience.
The guitar
back drop
also
relates to
the
audience
as this is
a key part
of this
genre of
music.
This would
draw in
people
that like
this
instrument
thus
making my
more
desirable
for a
wider
range of
people.

3. The phrase above the masthead might draw in an audience
that has this same way of thinking also it makes the
magazine title catchy therefore making it unforgettable
this woiudl make more people desire this magazine .
The masthead is
not even and it
is messy this
would draw in
an audience as
this genre of
music is quite
rebellious and
wild this might
represent that
and the
audience might
find this more
appropriate for
this type of
magazine.
The model is in
black and white
this adds to
the classic
nature of the
magazine it
also appears
edgy like the
music. The
model looks
quite serious
this also
reflects the
genre of music
as it is
generally quite
serious. The
fact that the
model is young
and female
might attract
more of the
younger female
audience.
The images are
also appealing
as they show
the band/singer
this would give
the audience an
idea of the
article this
would make it
more appealing
to fans of a
band/singer.
This in would
attract more of
my target
audience.
The articles
address the
audience
informally this
would appeal to
younger people
as this is the
way that they
talk a lot of
the time. Also
the colours go
with the theme
for reasons I
have said in
the previous
pages.
The free poster
would attract
an audience
because they
would get
something
‘Free’ this is
always
appealing to
any audience
also this would
appeal to
younger people
as they
stereotypically
do not have a
lot of money
and getting
something free
would be
appealing for
this age group.
The bar on the bottom would attract a bigger audience
because there are some classic rock bands on this would
interest the older generation as the music would be
something that they are familiar with.
