Evaluation Question Five

How did you attract/address your audience?


Through my audience questionnaire from September, I found out quite a lot about what would attract my particular audience. Many said that simplicity on the cover helped it look grown-up and not childish which they liked; but also enjoyed the different bright colours making it still look fun and interesting and not at all dull and boring. The choice of pictures came up regularly as well, they also seemed to enjoy the dash of fun personality throughout the pictures- making it relatable and therefore attracting their attention with colour. The hand written fonts came across well as they made the pages look less structured but while still working with the rest of the page. They also added a 'personal' touch and 'creative flair' to the magazine overall. Audience theory is apparent through the use of the hypodermic syringe model as pictures used throughout are fun and give a care free feel, much like the age of the featured artist and target audience, the language used also reflects on the target audience- It is informal and almost chatty, an easy read for a teenager/young adult.
