1. 5. How did you attract/address your audience? Helen Jones

2. I had to think very carefully on how to attract and address my audience when producing my magazine. Everything I include will either appeal or make my loser read interest, so I have to include as many appealing and interesting pictures and information as possible. I will annotate my magazine pages to explain where I have attempted to do this, and what effect it gives:

3. Clear, bold and memorable name, like NME/Q. The mix of upper case letters and lower case letters used works well Small explanation of abbreviation is a feature NME also include This also is effective with a variety of fonts, sizes and colours to attract the reader’s eye Displaying features in a different way, this being in a circle. It draws attention at the first look. A large banner across the centre of the cover is very bold and grabs your attention straight away addressing the reader of MNR’s main feature this month. The two arrows instantly make you look at what follows, which is the name of the artist on the front (effective) The acoustic guitar prop can portray the type of music the artist and this magazine features which is something the audience could relate to. List of appealing bands are mentioned Reasonably priced for a monthly magazine

4. The continuation of the logo, theme, colours and fonts also occurs in NME and Q magazines. Pull out quotes from articles in the magazine give the audience a preview of what is to come, which encourages them to continue reading. Image of Megan portrays an interesting story with such an interesting pose/photo shoot. Subscribing is a clear feature which draws the reader in by using the words ‘just’ to make it sound more appealing, and a better deal. Addressing the audience that they can get involved through the quizzes and competitions.

5. Using a very bold photo attracts the audience to stop and read the interview The arrows are effective in a way that it makes you read on and see Megan’s name in bold so it is clear to the reader who the feature is on Here I am addressing the audience of Megan’s album and it’s details This whole spread is very friendly to the eye and it’s neutral colours yet boldness from the main title and photo is a very good contrast to draw the audience in. Pull out quotes are an effective way to gain the readers interest in the text

6. The contrast of attitudes between the two photos here is very interesting and effective The arrows bring attention to the pull out quote, as well as the initial bright yellow colours used which stand out clearly. Pull out quotes attract the readers attention Pictures of the real public show that the audience itself has been involved here, which makes the reader feel like they can be involved too. The circle is a different way to display a pull out quote and stands out on the page as the text fits perfectly around it.
