My target audience is 15-26 year olds, similar to Q magazine. The magazine cover features a close-up photograph of a model, with the model's name in the same position as Q, to attract this audience. The contents page is easy to use with brief article descriptions. Photographs and house style, including red, white, grey and black colors, signal the genre and artists to confirm the magazine is suitable for the target age range. Layout and double page spreads mimic the popular Q magazine to effectively reach this intended audience.

1. Question 5: How did you attract/address your audience?
My target audience is 15-26 year olds this is similar to Q magazine. The photography is
similar as on the cover of my magazine as on Q’s as it is a close up of the model and has the
model credit in the same place. I used the Guttenberg design principle, this meets the needs
of my target audience as the notice my model and model credit then the cover lines where
they can see if my magazine features anything that they would be interested in, such as
bands or specials. My contents page is suitable for the target audience as it is easy to use
and has a brief explanation of what is in the article or on that certain page. The photography
is clear and the model is within the target audience age and so this lets the audience know
that my magazine is suitable for their age group. The house style in my magazine is
consistent through the magazine, the colours (red, white, grey, and black) give the audience
and Idea of the genre and artist’s names on the cover lines confirm this. My layout is similar
to Q magazine; I did this purposely as I know Q is a popular magazine choice for my target
audience. My double page spread is set out like Q, or similar to it with an added pull quote,
this is effective as I’ve added extra to an already professional style.
