Music Magazine Evaulation Question 5

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

 

Attracting is important for my music magazine because it can catch people attention to look at the magazine and if they like the look of my magazine they would buy it. Addressing is also important for my music magazine because so my audience can understand what the magazine, if I didn’t address my audience in its appropriate genre the audience wouldn’t buy it because it would have been too complex or would have had my magazine boring and no one wants to make their audience bored.

The first thing I’ve done to attract my audience is with the model on the front page. I’ve used the model on purpose to attract the model because as you can see in the front cover the model looks very attractive and it would attract males to pick up the magazine and buy the magazine. The pose that the model is doing is holding her hair at the end which suggesting that she is playing with her hair this can suggest to the audience she is playing seductive. The shirt she is wearing also makes her seductive because it also tells the audience that she is some kind of foxy mamma. The pink lipstick that my model is wearing attracts the audience because it shows she is making a new trend and most RnB artist like Nicki Minaj wear pink lips stick and this a convention to show that my model is a RnB artist.

Another way I’ve attracted my target audience is by using popular artist and placing them at the top of my masthead. The reason I’ve done that is because it will attract the audience attention because they might like the artist or be interested and buy the magazine. Another way I’ve attracted my audience is by using colour. As you can see I’ve only used 3 colours which is dark blue as the background, red and white for the colour of the text. I’ve used red because it can attract people attention when it has a dark background and I’ve used white because white also goes with a dark background.

How else my music magazine represents the RnB culture is that I’ve used the word “SWAG” or “swagger” I’ve used those words because so I can address to my audience that it’s a informal magazine. Another reason why I’ve used these words is because it’s common a word for RnB artist and I’ve used it because to show my music magazine is an RnB/ youth culture magazine.

Another way how I attracted my audience is by putting “The world’s best music magazine” below the masthead so my audience can see it. I did this on purpose because so my audience can think it’s going to be the best magazine that they’re going to read and it also suggest to the audience that my music magazine that my music magazine is popular.

Another way I’ve attracted my audience is having big bold words. The reason why it does attract my audience is because it’s big so the audience can read the title from far away. Also I’ve made “Katrina sues Drizzy!” in big bold letters because “Drizzy” is a popular artist so I thought it would catch people attention because it would have been interesting.
