The document discusses how the magazine attracts and addresses its target teen audience. A simple title and logo are used without bright colors to avoid taking attention away from the content. Images of girls are featured to appeal to both the female readers and male gaze. The ratio of images to text is higher to first engage visual readers with pictures related to headings before reading text. A casual, conversational writing style is employed throughout to mirror how teens communicate daily.

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

2. Cover – Masthead & Text
I have chosen to use a very simple and slim title
because I feel as though huge vibrant titles take the
importance of the actual magazine away from it. I
simple title also allows the reader the remember
the title and the name a lot easier. I also feel as
though using a simple title has aloud me to make it
a lot larger in size because it does not take over or
take up mounds of room. There is no bright
color, gradient or shading in the magazine as I feel
as though this would have created a very messy
and childish effect to the page.
The text that has been used is also very
simple, different sizes have been used to show
what is more important than the others and the
opacity has been changed to show the important
subheadings from the information underneath.

3. Images All off the images throughout the
magazine have been used to
appeal to my teen target market.
I have used all girls in my magazine
as I feel that girls can relate to this
better and will aspire to be like the
girls in the magazine. Not only this
but boys will also be attracted to
my magazine as images og girls
appeals to the the male audience
following Laura Mulvey's theory of
the Male Gaze.
In 90% of the photos the models
are looking directly into the
camera, this allows the audience
to engage with the magazine
more.

4. Text and Image Ratio
The ratio of images to text on a page
highlights how the audience is being
addressed.
For all of my pages the percentage of
pictures is much higher to that of text. This
especially can be seen in the content page. I
have done this as the young readers will
look at the pictures and relate them to the
heading before they actually read the
text, they will see what they are interested
in first.
The images are all strait and not slanted in
anyway to create a more mature and
sophisticated feel to the magazine. This
replicates and is continued throughout the
whole magazine.

5. Writing Style
There are different types of langue that can be
used in a magazine to attract different types of
audiences, and also depending on where the text
is in the magazine will depend on how the reader
is addressed.
I feel as though I have used a slightly laid back
language in all of my magazine, including the DPS
where I have used a convocation style. All of the
other parts of the magazine are very chatty and
informal too. I have used a languages that the
readers would used in day to day life when talking
to there friends and family.
I have also used different types of questions and
sentence structures to draw the readers into the
magazine.
