HOW DID YOU ATTRACT/ADDRES

S YOUR AUDIENCE?

My magazine is aimed at all students, so the use of a coverline that is relevant to everyone will widen the potential reader range. ‘Your NEW Student Union Representatives’ is an intriguing title, as the change in position affects all college students; hopefully the coverline will convince the students to read into the article.

MAIN COVERLINE

On my contents page I kept the bright, graffiti background as a

recurring theme. This, along with the use of images, is a design

feature that I used to attract my audience. I believe that most

students would find the use of colour an intriguing element, and

the vibrancy of it should also automatically draw the eye.

CONSISTENT BACKGROUND

The main image is of two typical students in an everyday college setting. As the image is relatable to the readers, I think it should entice them into reading further into the content. The students are wearing normal clothes and are smiling at the camera which makes it seem friendly and inviting; if they were posing with closed body language and had ‘moody’ expressions, the magazine would seem more intimidating and less people would want to read on.

MAIN IMAGE

I used my contents page to layout information in such a

way that all students can find what they’re looking

for quickly and easily. I created 4 headings of

‘College News’, ‘Music’ and ‘Deals’ to help with the

navigation, and to immediately show what

sort of content the magazine contains. I think

the simplicity of the navigation will appeal to

students, because it requires minimal effort.
