The document discusses how the author attracted and addressed their audience for a music magazine called Krash. Some key points included: 1) The front cover uses dark colors consistent with the genre but also yellow highlights to draw attention, and features a photo of a drummer making eye contact to connect with readers. 2) The reasonably low price of £1.90 every two weeks and an interactive website provide multiple ways for the audience to engage with the magazine. 3) Input was gathered from the target audience through polls and feedback to ensure the magazine met their expectations.

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

3. • Must of my focus was on my front cover, this is
because this is what will stand out most when
people see it in shops and base their decision to
buy a magazine on what it looks like the first time
they see it.
• Although I have used quite dark colours to stick
with the genre of the magazine, I have also used
some yellows to highlight some important points
as the bright colour will attract the reader to the
magazine.
Having the price set as £1.90 attracts the audience as it is a reasonably low price to
pay for a magazine that comes out every two weeks that contains a lot of things
inside.
The website also attracts the audience as they have more than one way of reaching
the magazine as they can interact with Krash online

4. • The photo also has direct address as the artist in the
picture is looking directly into the readers eyes and
they feel like they have a connection and more
inclined to buy it. The photo also has a symbol of a
drum kit in it as the magazine is a music magazine
and the artist is a drummer so this contrasts well
together.
• The language I have used is also important to the
social groups I am representing. I have used
simplistic language and nothing to ambiguous or
crude it aims at a wide range of people, it also makes
the magazine seem more mature and language that
everyone can understand and read.

5. • The cover lines will then make
the reader want to buy it as
they don't give away to much
information and draw in the
reader.
• I have also kept a degree of
organisation to the page so the
readers know what story is
what and they aren't put off by
busy, clustered page.

6. • The double page spread is
relatable to the audience as it is a
typical punk rock band and it is
about how they are back on the
music scene, something fans will
be interested in. The title is also so
blunt that it makes a point and
makes the article sound
interesting as the return indicates
they have been somewhere so
fans will want to know where they
have been and why they have
comeback.
The use of different pictures
also attracts the audience as it
is almost like a story of the duo
in pictures and fans like too
look at pictures of bands and
not being serious and having a
silly side to relate to fan base
as they are real people

7. • By asking people in my target audience to vote
on different things and have their opinion really
mattered in the making of my magazine as if it
didn’t go with what they wanted they wouldn’t
buy it.
• I put up polls on my blog and when I was
making the magazine I asked people how they
think I should change things to make it more
appealing to the audience so their was more
than one opinion in the making of the
magazine, although some of the responses was
from people outside my target group it was
beneficial as every opinion matters and helped
me make a magazine that fulfilled expectations
of target readers.
