The document discusses how the magazine addressed its target audience through its design elements. The magazine's unusual masthead with an arrow on the U was meant to catch readers' attention. The cover image of a live concert was chosen to appeal to the audience's interest in concerts. Inside, exclusive stories about rock bands and a chance to win festival tickets were included to attract readers. The simple contents page was meant to provide an easy to read format compared to busy competitors. Overall, the magazine's design aimed to attract its target audience through visual elements, relevant content, and a casual style.

1. Question 5:How did you attract/addressyour audience?

2. I think that the audience may be attracted to my magazine by it’s unusual masthead. The arrow on the letter U makes it differ from the mastheads of other magazines. The bright red colour of the masthead makes it stand out from the page and catch the eye of the reader.The image that I have used on the front cover is clearly from a live concert. I have chosen to use this because my target audience may be attracted to this, and may find live concerts of their interests. The main picture is very important in a magazine. It takes up a lot of room on the page and it is one of the first things that readers see. If there is a bad picture on the front cover, the reader may not buy the magazine. This is why it was important for me to include a picture that appeals to the target audience in my magazine. I have included a pug by advertising free posters with my magazine. This may entice readers to buy the magazine. Live concerts may be of interest to my target audience and they may have attended that certain event, in which case they may purchase the magazine to get the posters.

3. The audience may be attracted by exclusive stories. This means that they would not see them in any other magazines and favour my magazine over others.The bands included are bands that are of the rock genre and may appeal to the target audience. They may want to read stories about artists that interest them. By saying ‘and more’ implies that there are many more stories about bands inside the magazine. This could also imply that the ‘and more’ may refer to bands that sound similar to those previously mentioned. The target audience may be intrigued by the other stories inside.My target audience may like to attend live concerts and festivals. This means that they may be attracted to my magazine by the chance of winning festival tickets.Including a pun may show the casual style of the magazine. Readers may be more inclined to choose my magazine because they might prefer a more casual style that is missing in other magazines.

4. Readers may be attracted to the simplicity of my contents page. Most other magazines have contents page that are full of both contents and pictures. Although it tells the reader what is in the magazine, they may feel put off by it. They may feel that it reflects the magazine as a whole; busy contents page may mean and unorganised magazine. My contents page is simple and easy to read for the audience, which may be a feature that they are attracted to.

5. The large picture makes it clear to the audience who the article is featuring.Standfirst introduces the article to the audience. Tells the reader the main topic of the article.The headline is not completely clear about which artist is featured in the article. Readers may be intrigued and be attracted to reading the article to find this out.Fans of the band may be interested in what songs were played. The blue colour makes it stand out from the black and white background, this would catch the eye of the reader.Quote from the story stands out from the text. I have done this because it humours the reader and they may intend to read the article because they may feel it reflects the attitude of the article.
