HOW DID YOU ATTRACT OR ADDRESS YOUR AUDIENCE?

1. Q5 :HOW DID YOU
ATTRACT OR ADDRESS
YOUR AUDIENCE?
By Karen Nguyen

2. MY MUSIC MAGAZINE IS
TARGETED TO YOUNG GIRLS
AGED 9-14 YEARS OF AGE.

3. IMAGES:
 Through out my magazine I used different genders male and female
because from my research I found that some of my audiences
wanted mixture of genders and not just female models. I felt that if I
adapted to what my audience gave response I am able to attract
them to my music magazine.
 Furthermore, I used different ethnic background models not following
the convention of other magazine as I feel that it is too common and i
felt that other ethnic background audiences would appreciate it too
to see different ethnicities and not just a common model.
 Another way that attracted my audience was by choosing images
that they can relate themselves to. Some images used in my
magazine have a fun and happy feel to them which reflects my
audience.

4. FONT & TEXT:
 I used text that was easy read and easy to the eye for my audience.
For my headings I self taught myself to use an effect that enables me
to outline the letters and change the outline and the colour inside the
letters too. I personally feel that by doing this it makes the text seem
different more fun to the audience too.
 I kept the text consistent through out my magazine so through my
magazine I used the same font and text. However I changed up the
colour according to the pages just so that certain areas stand out
more from the background, aspects that need to be important I
changed such as the topics in my contents page I used the colour
red which is rarely used through out the whole magazine.

5. COLOUR THEME:
 The colour theme that is consistently used in magazine is different
shades of pink, white and yellow. I chose these colours because they
related to my audience which are girls, so by choosing a colour that is
often associated with girls would draw my target audience attention
more.
 The other colours I used were yellow and white because I felt that
they complimented the different shades of pink I used very well. The
yellow colour stood out from the pink background and so does the
white. I used the colours red once for my contents page but I only
used it for an outline of text rather then the whole word because I
thought that filling the text in would be too overwhelming and harsh
on the pink.

6. LAYOUT:
 The layout of my magazine was quite simple and easy to read and
understand. I did this so that the audience wouldn't be confused to
the context of the magazine. By having such a simple layout where
everything is clear to the audience they would want to get it more
because they can understand the whole context of the magazine.
 On the front cover of my magazine there are three main stories, two
which has images connected to each subheading letting my
audience have a hint of what the story is about. On my contents
page there are also image however not with text but the content has
subheading that make clear to the audience what type of story itis.
