EvaluationHow did you attract/address your audience?

The cover page is mainly the reason

why people buy magazines as it

attracts readers with image or cover

lines and is in a way the “face” of the

magazine.

My cover page also has most

important features to attract the

clients such as:

eye-catching masthead

attractive photo

interesting coverlines

pleasant price

This is the masthead of my magazine. It does not just mean “voice of

people” or “public opinion” but also is a song, so there is a chance

that some people will associate the song and the magazine and will

be willing to buy it.

There is a textured light blue background for the masthead and the

idea is to change colours from issue to issue so they match the main

image, but keep the layout and writing the same – as a unique part

of the magazine.

In one of my drafts I had both words in one line, but than creating my

own original masthead specifically for the “Vox Populi” I’ve put “vox”

side ways. This looks more creative and unusual and so awakes

interest in people to look at it, buy it, read it.

MAIN IMAGE

The main attraction of the magazine and

cover page is an image. My magazine

attracts the readers because I’ve placed

the photo of young pretty “new-born”

artist right at the centre of the page.

I’ve used a medium shot and chose the

shot where my model is looking straight

into the camera as almost looking in the

eyes of the potential audience and in this

way attracts the reader.

The image is “talking” to the audience, making them interested in

the product and wanting to buy it.

My cover lines address to the reader in a

very common for them way – as my

audience is mainly 18+ teenagers. I also

used some well known phrases, for

example, “on the go” is a general name of

the playlist on the iPhone 4, so people

aged 18-19 would be well familiar with this

phrase.

I’ve included a question

as one of my cover lines.

This rises reader’s interest

even more, as they

would want to know

more about the artist.

The last way to attract more readers is a

good price, which is not too expensive, as

my audience are mostly students, but still is

enough for a good magazine.

the biggest attraction of the audience is the cover page,

but inside the magazine, I’ve also used language which is

common for the teenagers, it has some media and music

terms, but generally very common, easy and sometimes

even slang. Also, the magazine contains something for both

genders. Men will be interested in news, gadgets, even

pictures of female artists. Equally women would be interested

in news, articles and fashion shown in the photoshoots.
