1. How did you
attract/address
your audience?

2. Things that would attract my target audience:-
•Masthead
•Photograph(s)
•Colours
•Layout
•Cover lines

3. Attracting my audience
Masthead
The masthead attracts people because it is red
on a black background and because of the
colour difference the masthead stands out
more and easily read and found. The font of the
masthead is distorted because it represents the
stereotypical people that would read my
magazine.

4. Photographs
The photos I used are all posed
because I noticed in my research
that most of the pictures in the
magazines were posed for and very
little were live. The only time they
were really live photographs was
when they were talking about a
new tour. All the pictures focus on
the models because they are what
the picture is about. The
backgrounds in some of them have
graffiti on the walls because it gives
that rock style to it.

5. Colours
In this issue of kerrang and many other I only used red white and black because
issues they use the same colour scheme I didn’t want too many colours
because that’s what partially makes it a throughout the magazine because it

the genre it is aimed at.

6. Layout
The obvious similarity is that the main article
has a big picture on the front cover so the
reader knows exactly what's taking up the
most amount of pages this week. The
existing one has pictures around it as well
and I have tried to do something similar by
putting headlines and a picture on mine as
well but due to lack of models I could only do
one more on the front cover.
My contents page is completely different to
the existing one because when I was
making mine I had planned on using it from
the beginning but when it cam to the flat
plans and designing I realised I would need
lots of different people for models and
didn’t have that resource.

7. In the layout of this double page spread it
has a main picture covering up half of the
whole page and then more pictures across
the bottom, it then has the article and
band name and other information down
the right side of it.
My double page spread is very similar
because it uses half the page for the main
singer and main picture and then has other
pictures down at the bottom and the
article and other information on the right.

8. Cover lines
In my cover line I have the name of the band in
big writing that would attract the readers eye. It
also has a quote from the article so that the
reader knows a little about it before they buy it.
It also tells you that it is a world exclusive which

an exclusive.

9. Things that would address my target audience:-
• Writing style
• Pictures
• Colours

10. Writing style
My writing style is very
formal and doesn’t really
attain to any specific
group or genre. I didn’t
involve certain words or
phrases because then it
would be too direct and I
wanted to make a
magazine for people that
aren't necessarily that
into music and know
everything about the
genre that my magazine
was covering.

11. Pictures
For all my pictures I used posed ones because I wasn’t reviewing any live shows that had
been on recently I was doing an article about a band that was about to go on tour. If I were
to do a story on the same band after the tour I would have live pictures from that as well
as posed ones.

12. Colours
I used only colours that would fit with my genre of music. The colours I used
throughout with a lot use were black whit and red because they are all colours in
which if you put any two together they make the other one stand out. I also used
yellow a little bit as well because it helped make parts of my contents page stand
out.
