The document discusses how the author addressed and attracted their target audience for their magazine. They took inspiration from the layout of Billboard magazine, using a bold front cover font and large central artist image to look professional. They conducted research through questionnaires to understand readers' interests and tailor the magazine content and design accordingly. Specifically, they incorporated darker colors popular with their genre audience.

1. How did you attract/address your audience?
Here is a comparison between my magazine’s front cover and Billboard magazine’s cover, as you can see I
took inspiration from many front covers and this was one of them. Billboard is a well established magazine
with a great audience so by having a similar layout will allow my magazine to look very professional to my
target audience. I chose to have the artists name in a bold font across the page like Billboard as it stands
out and immediately lets the audience know who the main feature is. Also I used an image that features
the artist looking directly at the audience which is more inviting and will encourage customers to buy the
magazine. Due to my magazine being a slightly different genre to Billboard’s I features a lot more dark
colours in my design such as black and grey as this is more appealing to my researched audience, making
my magazine more conventional

2. Before I even began creating my magazine I
designed a questionnaire to hand out to
people to find out what my audience’s
interest are when reading a magazine and
what they would like to see in mine, this
allowed me to design it to appeal especially
to them which maximises the chance of it
being appealing and selling well to my target
audience.

3. The content that is included within
the magazine Tempo is great, its very
relevant, easy to read and suitable to
the genre as I find it interesting to
read. The layout used throughout is
also very clear and easy to follow and
understand which creates great
usability for the audience and I would
definitly buy this magazine again.

I think that this magazine has very good,
original qualities such as its colour
scheme, a lot of magazines use white
throughout so seeing so much black used
in Tempo really stands out and it caught
my eye also I think its great for reflecting
the genre of music which is included
within the magazine. The bold main
image on the front cover is also great, as
she is looking directly at me [the
audience] I feel as if she is inviting me in
to read, which is great.
