5. / ?How did you attract address your audience

‘ ’ To attract the audience I used buzz words such as Exclusive which suggests that this is the only magazine which is covering the story making

. the audience want to buy the magazine to read the article I used , . exclamation marks which add positive emphasis on the words I used

‘ ’ ?” rhetorical questions like Where s it at this summer to make the audience . think and feel more intrigued to read the article I used big bold fonts for

my headings so they are large and clear to read and stand out to the , reader for text I used smaller writing which is still very clear so it is easy

. to read in large chunks of texts I also used the colour red for some of , ’ .my font which attracts the reader s eye to the colour

For my front cover main image the model is looking straightforward , into the camera which gives the illusion that he is making eye contact , . with the audience which will attract them I added an image of a

‘ !’ Nintendo Wii next to the bold word Win which includes the buzz word win to attract the readers and shows what they could possibly

win to further attract them and make them want to buy and read the . magazine to win

, My masthead is a big bold black font which is clear to . read The font looks like it has been decayed or ruined

!’ . similarly to Kerrang s masthead However I think the , , element which makes it look unique is the purple colouring

, on the masthead which may attract the reader because it is a bright . unique colour

( ) region the middle to be filled with the main image and the main story . heading which makes it stand out For my contents page I had the title for

( ) the page contents at the top of the page in a large bold font so it is very . , clear what page it is I had the contents page numbers and short

description in a list type format for ease of access for the reader so it is . easy to find which page they want to find quickly I used a sticky note

template for the editors note because it makes it feel more personal , towards the audience like a hand written note I also used a handwritten

. style font for the signature to enhance this effect I had the masthead in the top left hand corner to keep the image of the masthead in the readers . mind and make it more memorable For my double page spread again I

planned to have masthead in the corner which I think is the first thing the reader would see as they open the page which then leads the eye to the

‘ !’ , EXCLUSIVE puff which is in bright red then the eye will be lead to the , main image which is directly related to the article then the eye will lead . onto the title of the article and then down to the text

From my audience research I found out that people would be more likely to , buy a magazine if it included interviews with musicians it was priced

3.00 , around £ and a lot of people attend music festivals so to cater with , 3.10 this I included an interview with a musician priced my magazine £ and

4 . included information for the music festival T On The Beach To target males I added an interview of a successful musician I believe this attracts males that are interested in music to find out about the success story and

. to find out how to be successful However to attract both males and , females I added an image of a Nintendo Wii that can be won this is
