This is evaluation 5 for my new three pages:
I manage to attract my target audience through different
ways such as the look of the magazine and the features inside the magazine.
I wanted to my magazine to attract the intended target
audience, so in order for me to do this I made sure that I used appropriate
colour tones, style of magazine, appropriate images, titles and featured
topics. As you can see from the contents page, I included stories and topics
that would appeal to this target audience. To make my magazine appeal to the
target audience, I was able to make decisions for example what colours would
appeal to this age group would prefer seen as I am in that age group too.
However to make sure that I appeal exactly to these readers I made
questionnaires and asked people aged 17-25 for their opinions.
I looked through similar magazines to find out what sort
of stories and topics they included so I could get a better idea how to attract
and address my audience. I included things like 'the latest charts' which I
found was essential to this type of magazine and posters of the latest
celebrities and artists, which I also found featured in the majority of music
magazines. I also included things such as how a top performer has changed over
the years in the music industry, which I found out by primary research that
readers want to know.
Another way to appeal and attract my audience, I made
sure that all the images that I put into the magazine were around about the
same age as my target audience. I also found that although readers what to see
what the rich and famous celebrities are getting up to and how they dress/act,
they also like to see artists that look like their target audience. I wanted to
make sure that I could use this and attract the audience. In order to do so, in
the contents page I included topics/stories about famous celebrities but also
made sure that I included artists that looked like themselves. I have done this
with the double page spread image, where Anna Fenwick (the artist) looks like
she could be one of the target audience readers, this is also featured in the
contents page with the main image. I think reason for this is because the
readers like to know what these rich and famous artists are getting up to but
also like to know that they are still of one them and not superhuman.
To address my target audience, I have made sure that I
have emphasised on the front cover that this magazine is a new magazine and
contains the latest things. I know that the majority of 17-25 year olds want to
know the latest music, fashion and news before others. Therefore on the front cover
I have used words like new, latest, first and exclusive.
