media question 5

1. MEDIA EVALUATION

2. QUESTION 5:
How did you attract/address
your audience?

3. Firstly, my colour scheme consists of bold,
unconventional colours – which stands out to an
audience. Despite being unconventional, they work
well together. The orange works well for highlighting
important things and standing out on the page. The
burgundy works well to break up parts of the text
and the colours on the page. It works well as a
background for the orange as it isn’t too dark. It also
matches the colour of the hat worn by the model on
the contents page, therefore incorporating the main
image throughout the entire magazine.

4. The shades of grey work very well in breaking
up sections of the page, particularly on my
double page spread, where dark grey bars are
used to separate all the paragraphs without
drawing too much attention. It works well to
soften the other two colours.

5. In addition, particularly on the front cover, the design
is very minimalistic. This is so that the audience will
be drawn in towards the masthead and the main
image as these are the most important two things on
the cover. The advantage of this is that consumers
will see the main image and see the model used as a
role model, making them want to buy it because
they will want to know what is said about the role
model as because he is used, it implies he will be
used in the magazine.
