7 Alternatives to Bullet Points in PowerPointAlvis Oh
So you tried all the ways to beautify your bullet points on your pitch deck but it just got way uglier. These points are supposed to be memorable and leave a lasting impression on your audience. With these tips, you'll no longer have to spend so much time thinking how you should present your pointers.
2. Codes and Conventions
In order to lure my target audience, I had to first do some research into other magazines that followed
the same target audience. Using said research, I could then adapt some of the conventions and use
them in my own magazine (giving a more professional look).
The house style etc. were all considered before I started creating my magazine. This meant that I had
a clear understanding of what to expect and what I wanted inside my magazine.
In particular, I researched Kerrang! as it was very similar to the magazine I was trying to create. It
allowed me to take some of the fully functional and fully working parts of the magazine and use them
in my own.
3. How I Appealed to My Age Group
I aimed my age group at the sort of 16-24 age range. This is the same age range as Kerrang! I took many
things from Kerrang! that I believe helped me achieve a magazine that fitted this group. I used very
energetic and loud colours to target the younger, more energetic age group.
I also used a lot of distressed looks such as in text boxes etc. I believe that this added to the rebellious
feel that many youngsters have.
I also gave an artist in my double page spread that I believe would appeal as a role model to younger
people. I made him look relatable in the picture and his interview was also rebellious with the use of
swear-words etc. I think this gained a lot of respect for the magazine from the age-group.
I also used a lot of modern conventions such as banners and lures as I belive this will fit in with the
modern society and there for the younger generations.
4. How I Attracted Both Males + Females
I used colours that were all not gender-specific. I used Reds, Oranges and also a few Blue highlights. I
got the red colour scheme from Kerrang! as this seems to be what they often use.
I tried to make my magazine have neutral fonts and layouts etc. to make sure that a gender was not
put off when the saw it. I used plain san-serif fonts to make sure that both genders were attracted
compared to the more ‘girly’ over-the-top serif fonts. I also made sure that the fonts weren’t too
‘boyish’.
5. How I Addressed My Audience
Language:
- I used informal language making the interview feel more intimate for the reader.
- I used swear words so the magazine could be associated with friend-like talk.
- I made the magazine sound like it was personally addressing the reader.
Photos:
- I showed artists that would attract the younger reader age.
- I used different artists with different styles to attract a wider audience.
Competitions:
- I offered a competition to see ‘Blank-264’ to attract the lovers of the band.
- I also offered a ‘free deck’ with every annual sub.
6. Maslow Hierarchy Of Needs
I give my readers the sense of
belonging and love because I
address them directly.
I give my reader safety and
security as they can use my
magazine to escape from
everyday life.
I gave the readers self-actualization
as the ‘role-models’ inside the
magazine will hopefully inspire them
to try and achieve their goals.
Hopefully I make my readers feel happy
and that they get the necessary factors
to having physiological health from
reading my magazine.
