EVALUATION QUESTION # 5

HOW DID YOU ATTRACT/ADDRESS YOUR AUDIENCE?

Before creating my magazine I did a questionnaire to find out what my audience wanted from my magazine.

 After looking through the results of my questionnaire s it allowed me to create my magazine according to the requirements of my audiences needs. For example, several answers came back like ‘What could force you to like the magazine ? That they would focus on the price, interviews, other to feature somewhere in my magazine.

 I used a mixture of pictures so that the reader had a range of photos that could appeal him/her. I wanted to give them different quirky looks which is why I made my contents page with three pictures which perfectly describes my genre look. As a whole the color scheme used in my music magazine attracts and draws the readers in. I used my colors according to the background of my contents page otherwise the magazine may look dull and therefore less likely to attract the audience.

 My use of bright color attracts younger audiences in their teens, which is exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to create a color scheme which would be fun however mature enough for a teen audience. And because my target social group was teenagers interested in Hip-Hop music I couldn't use colors that weren't associated with that social group, such as bright pink or purple. My front cover describes the color scheme of my magazine right on as it includes the graffiti which is attractive and sparkly.
