How did you
attract/address your
audience?
Front cover
• On my front cover I attracted my audience through
a variety of different features.
• This includes my Title, Pictures and cover lines.
Front cover - Title
• My title has attracted and addressed my audience
because it is slang. By using slang as my title I have
addressed a younger audience that would
understand what the word means. This is the type of
audience that my magazine content is aimed at.
• In addition to this I have attracted the audience with
Title as it is bold and block. This allows it to stand out
against the coloured background and grabs the
attention of the reader.
Front cover - Picture
• The picture I have used on my front cover shows
a model looking at the camera. This addresses
my audience directly and attracts them to the
magazine.
• Furthermore, the model is wearing clothes
associated with the genre of music that my
magazine represents and the colours used on
the picture are fitting with the theme of my
magazine.
• This allows the front cover to reflect on the
magazine genre and attracts the younger
generation audience that my magazine is aimed
at.
Front cover - Cover lines
• On my magazine front cover I have included
a variety of cover lines that will attract my
audience. This is because I have used the
names of popular chart music artists on my
front cover. I have also put this in a larger
font, allowing it to stand out from the rest of
the text.
• This will grab the audiences attention and
could also help to define the genre of my
magazine. This could attract my audience to
the magazine as they will recognise the
popular music artists.
Contents Page
• On my contents page I have attracted and
addressed my audience through different ways.
• For example; Sub-headings, Pictures, layout.
Contents -
Sub-headings
• The sub-headings I have used highlight the
important features of the magazine contents and
summarise certain key aspects of the magazine.
This allows me to attract my audience to specific
features.
• This is important as it tells my audience the
magazine content and therefore addresses an
audience that would want to read about the chart
music and the music artists.
Contents -Images
• I have used a variety of images on my contents
page to attract my audience to particular articles in
my magazine. I have also broken up the text and
complemented the writing by using relevant
images.
• The pictures used also contain some well-known
artists of my chosen genre. This will attract the
attention of my audience and highlight the
contents of my magazine.
Contents - Layout
• The way I have presented my contents page allows me to attract
my audience. This is because of the use of lots of images and little
text together attracts a younger audience who don’t want to read
large paragraphs.
• In addition to this I have again used colours that will reflect on my
music genre.
• I have chosen to do a double page contents page. This is
because it has allowed me to spread things out more and use
more images. This attracts my audience because it looks like there
is less text and this is important when you are aiming at a younger
audience.
Double page spread
• I have attracted and addressed my audience on
my double page spread by using features that will
appeal to them. This consists of the size of my
text as well as the size and use of images.
DPS - Text
• I have enlarged the artists name on my
double page spread so that it covers
almost a third of the page.
• This is important as it attracts the
attention of the audience and highlights
the contents of that article. It also allows
me to include less writing on the page,
therefore appealing to my target
audience. In addition to this by using the
well known name of a relevant music
artist it attracts my audience to read the
article.
DPS - Images
• I have used an image to cover the whole of one
page.This has allowed me to condense the
writing to one side.
• I have only used one image on my double page
spread as this is the common layout for many
magazines and seems to be popular.
• It allows me to have a smaller amount of writing
which appeals to my audience. But it also
means the page doesn't look cluttered with
images.
• This gives it a tidier, more professional look.
