2. The way that I attracted my audience is by using the correct colours and
themes throughout.
Firstly I started by doing a survey, I got a random selection of people to
take it by posting on ‘poll daddy’ and ‘twitter’ as this gets a wider range of
people taking it. From my results I got I tried to use as many of there
choices in my magazine as possible but I couldn’t include them all due to
money issues. I also got class mates to take the survey as that would 100%
guarantee me an opinion from young people who are around my age.
The reason why I posted a survey in so many different places is so that I get
a different range of age, sex and people. This gives a huge range so tells
me what the people actually want in the magazine and what they
actually want to see.
I also asked people who had a lot of followers on twitter to share it
throughout their followers, this means that it will spread between a lot of
people all around the globe as some of the people I asked have millions of
followers so will be able to share it around all of them. The views fed back
were noted and used in my official magazine.
3. I used the main colour of red as this is the colour that ‘Q’
magazine use and they are a very popular magazine so I feel it
will make people want to buy mine as well as they may feel that
it is the same, or by the same people making them more
attracted to it.
I made it interesting with more pictures as I feel this attracts more
of a young audience and makes them want to find out what the
pictures are about which is what I am aiming for. Also in my
questionnaire, the majority of people seemed to want more
pictures rather than only one/none. I feel that’s due to me taking
in what they wanted it makes them want to buy it more.
I used young and up and coming artists on my magazine so that
people would be interested and would possibly think that they
can also reach that goal so want to read about how these artists
did it. Also the fact that it is a group of people on the front cover
takes away the blank white spaces and fills them in with bright
pictures to make it more appealing and to have more of a full
page.
I made my main title ‘HOTPLAY’ bigger and yellow so that when
people see and pick up the magazine it stands out and makes
them want to read more as the letters pretty much jump out at
you as they are a different colour and bigger than all of the other
words I have used. Also the fact that it is in the centre shows that
is the centre and main story of the magazine.
