Q5 :HOW DID YOU ATTRACT OR ADDRESS YOUR AUDIENCE?

1. Q5 :HOW DID YOU
ATTRACT OR ADDRESS
YOUR AUDIENCE?
By Karen Nguyen

2. MY MUSIC MAGAZINE IS
TARGETED TO YOUNG GIRLS
AGED 9-14 YEARS OF AGE.

3. IMAGES:
 Through out my magazine I used different genders male and female because
from my research I found that some of my audiences wanted mixture of
genders and not just female models. I felt that if I adapted to what my
audience gave response I am able to attract them to my music magazine.
 Furthermore, I used different ethnic background models not following the
convention of other magazine as I feel that it is too common and i felt that
other ethnic background audiences would appreciate it too to see different
ethnicities and not just a common model.
 Another way that attracted my audience was by choosing images that they
can relate themselves to. Some images used in my magazine have a fun and
happy feel to them which reflects my audience.

4. FONT & TEXT:
 I used text that was easy read and easy to the eye for my audience. For my
headings I self taught myself to use an effect that enables me to outline the
letters and change the outline and the colour inside the letters too. I personally
feel that by doing this it makes the text seem different more fun to the
audience too.
 I kept the text consistent through out my magazine so through my magazine I
used the same font and text. However I changed up the colour according to
the pages just so that certain areas stand out more from the background,
aspects that need to be important I changed such as the topics in my
contents page I used the colour red which is rarely used through out the whole
magazine.

5. COLOUR THEME:
 The colour theme that is consistently used in magazine is different
shades of pink, white and yellow. I chose these colours because they
related to my audience which are girls, so by choosing a colour that is
often associated with girls would draw my target audience attention
more.
 The other colours I used were yellow and white because I felt that
they complimented the different shades of pink I used very well. The
yellow colour stood out from the pink background and so does the
white. I used the colours red once for my contents page but I only
used it for an outline of text rather then the whole word because I
thought that filling the text in would be too overwhelming and harsh
on the pink.

6. LAYOUT:
 The layout of my magazine was quite simple and easy to read and
understand. I did this so that the audience wouldn't be confused to the
context of the magazine. By having such a simple layout where everything is
clear to the audience they would want to get it more because they can
understand the whole context of the magazine.
 On the front cover of my magazine there are three main stories, two which has
images connected to each subheading letting my audience have a hint of
what the story is about. On my contents page there are also image however
not with text but the content has subheading that make clear to the audience
what type of story it is.
