How did you a*ract/address your audience?
Colour I used colours that would stereotypically be thought of as male colours such as blue and brown. I used this because if I had used a colour such as pink or purple it wouldn’t really get the readers a*en?on because there not the colours specified for men. The colour in the magazine is very important and one of main things to catch the readers eye, so if the colours doesn’t fit my target audiences preferences then there would not be many of my magazines being sold.
Images For my images on the front cover and double page spread I have used the male gaze theory. I had decided to use a girl as a main feature of the magazine, so I have used images of her throughout it. I think that the male gaze theory will help in this way a lot because the girl is very pre*y and will a*ract the reader to the magazine. For the contents page I have added one images of the main girl as she is the main feature of the magazine but I have also added images of other people, both male and female, to give my magazine verisimilitude as real magazine would not have only images of one person throughout.
Language The language I use is a good way to address my audience because it is informa?ve and uses language that people of an older age would be able to understand. Because my magazines target audience is of an older age range I'm not using slang and jargon as I think that my target audience would not be able to understand this and it would not address them correctly. Not only am I using language that they would understand but I have tried to include words that keep the story and magazine in whole interes?ng for the reader. I always think that the images, colour and layout a*ract the audience to the magazine but the text is what makes the reader want to buy it.
Layout I have decided that the layout of the front cover will be very typical and similar to other magazines as I want it to look professional, but s?ll make it stand out against other media products. I chose to have the layout like this also because I think that it looks neat and my target audience would not be a*racted to a messy looking magazine. The contents page I thought would look best with a certain sec?on of each part of the page to one specific thing, for example I decided that I wanted the right hand side of the page to have images down it and the top would obviously show the ?tle. The double page spread I think will a*ract the audience a lot because compared to other magazines double page spread my one shows many images to keep the reader interested whereas other magazines only show one and I have put a lot of text in as well. In other magazine I have looked at they write a li*le bit of text on the double page spread. Overall, my plan for the layout was to keep the magazine neat and ?dy as it reflects my target audience.
