Q 5- How did you attract/address your audience?

Price and Style The price is a big factor in attracting an audience to any product and as my target audience is the younger generation I have priced my magazine at £1.99 Per issue because this is relatively cheap compared to other big music magazines like XXL or Q and if the magazine was too cheap people may judge the magazine before they look at it as they may think because it is so cheap I must therefore be bad quality.The style of my magazine is quite simplistic I have done this to make my magazine have more of a professional look as if it was cluttered I believe it wouldn't be appealing but to contrast the simple style I have used colloquial language because formal language wouldn’t appeal to people ages 15 to 25 and the colloquial style would make it easier to read as the my target audience is most likely to text and use social media in which colloquial language is used.

Images and articles

I attracted my audience through many differentMethods like Images, Colour scheme and theFeatures n the magazine. The images I have used are all pictures of men therefore it may attract more of a male audience as they would see the images to be role models/idols and if it was an image of a woman then they may misinterpret the magazines for that of a fashion magazine.My target audience are also the people that are likely to attend musical festivals so to attract my audience I included a festival guide within the magazine which could be very useful to my audience.

Colour scheme and promotions

As I have stated in previous questions the colour scheme attract my target audience because it is blue and this colour is generally associated with men and the black and white make the magazine look more bold which would initially attract the audience to it.The two promotions I have used in my magazine are a Ticket competition and poster give away the posters would attract the younger section of my target audience as they are the age group that like to decorate their rooms with posters of their favourite artist/Bands
