Evaluation 5

"How did you attract/address your audience?"

I applied a number of techniques to attract and address my audience, I had to design a page look at the pages and think of things that would attract my audience so then I started to use original magazines to inspire me on what I was looking for, and I had to look at it as if I was the audience to effectively make it better! As my audience is for 15-25 year olds I had to take into account of what colours complimented other colours to make them stand out but look professional at the same time. It’s also aimed mainly at females so to attract girls I had to add more fancy writing, gossip etc to attract them to buying this magazine. Another way to attract my audience is the names of big stars mentioned in the contents and front cover such as Rihanna, Chris Brown, Kim Kardashian etc.

Re: Audience Feedback

As I have re done my pictures and magazine I had to re do my audience feedback and I have uploaded the images up on to Facebook to get some feedback off my target audience, I will take on board any changes the audience think I should make. By doing this it is helping me to continue on improving my work. I got my feedback it was mostly positive, people have said I need changes here and there so I'm going to make those changes for a better front cover, contents and double page spread.

Front Cover

Below is the front cover design I have chosen to be as my cover for my task. I have chosen this cover because it has more on the page than the others, it looks more professional than the others, and has a lot more information. The picture is of Megan looking directly at the audience with a small smile on her face as we didn't want her being to smiley as the genre of my magazine are mainly for R&B genre such as Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Rita Ora not the pop genre such as Taylor Swift, Demi Lovarto and One Direction. I have chosen a blue background as it makes Megan and the title stand out more, plus the green and white writing stand out on the blue background. The masthead is bold and a bit of the A is hidden behind Megan's head suggesting that it is a well known magazine.

Re: Front Cover Draft 3

I have taken a screen shot of my third front cover, with a template of Billboard Brazil.
