The document summarizes how the author attracted their audience to their music magazine. They did several things: 1) They put a famous rapper on the front cover based on audience survey feedback that famous artists are most attractive. 2) They used an attention-grabbing masthead font and color placement. 3) They included a promotional free gift offer in the top corner, which research showed would encourage 50% of people to buy. 4) Images, costumes, and poses on the front cover and inside helped communicate the rap genre. 5) Language in interviews struck a balance of formal and informal to engage younger audiences but maintain professionalism. Pullout quotes were also used to grab attention

1. Evaluation 5: How did you
attract your audience?

2. MAGAZINE FEATURES
Before constructing my magazine I asked question on my survey to my
audience for what attracts them the most when they first look at a music
magazine and as you can see the highest chosen answer was famous
artists/bands and so I did, I have put a famous rapper on my music magazine
front cover which would get the audiences attention because that is what
they like to see.
As you can see from the second image at the bottom, the famous rapper is
the main element of the front cover as that s what will grab the audiences
attention most.
Another feature which would get the audiences attention is the masthead.
The masthead is important because it would tell the readers what the
magazine is called but not only that, but it can sometimes determine the
genre of the magazine depending on how it is presented and where it is
placed. I used a specific font and colour which I know it would grab the
audiences attention because its big and the colour stands out on the
background.
The third and final feature of this front cover which will grab the audiences
attention is the promotional offer which is at the top left hand side of the
page. Have asked a question on my survey which I quote “would a free gift
make you buy a magazine” and about 50% of the answers cam back as yes.
From my research most music magazine have their promotional offer paced
on the corner of the page and i have decided to replicate what they have
done because it gives my magazine a professional look and makes it look
realistic

3. Images
On the right hand side of the page is the image from my front cover of
my page. The images are one of the most important parts of the
magazine as they are the first thing which the audience would see.
The images also tell us a lot about the magazine. For example in this
image, the costume and the gesture of the model would tell us what
genre the magazine is. This would attract the audience because it
would be paced straight in the middle of the page.
Another element of the image which would attract the audiences
attention is the pose which the model is giving us. He is giving direct
address to the reader and this would make he/she feel as they are
part of the audience and interested in the magazine
One of the other ways which attract my audience is by he costume.
Since it is a rap magazine, normally on the professional versions, the
models would be wearing some sort of gold chain which would give it
a better chance of the audience guessing what genre it is by just
looking at the front cover. For what I have used, my model is wearing a
earring and jewellery has a strong connotation with rap genre and the
audience would see it also and would get their attention. So he props
and costume play a big part when you’re trying to get the audiences
attention. Thy are vital.

4. Language
Language is a important factor of the magazine as it can
show who it is aimed for. For my double page spread, I
have used a mixture of formal and informal language
because my target audience is young I couldn't use just
informal as it would look very unprofessional. I have
tried to make the rapper sound quite arrogant and
furious almost t some parts of the interview on my
double page spread as usually that is the personality
of a rapper
The language would attract the readers because of the
content that is included in the article, not only it sound
and looks realistic but also it would engage them when
they are reading the double page spread because
there is a story behind the interview which is the small
paragraph above the first question.
The pullout quote which is placed in between the articles
would attract the audiences attention because it is in a
big font and would get the audiences attention quickly
because it is in the middle of the page. Using a pullout
quote is also important because it a good feature
which most magazines use in their double page
spreads.
