GENDER AGE AND ARTIST

GENDER: MY MAGAZINE IS AIMED PRIMARILY AT FEMALES BUT

COULD ALSO TARGET MALES THAT LIKE THE SAME MUSIC AND ARTISTS. THE COVER STAR IS FEMALE HOWETHER SHE DOESN’T LOOK GLAMEROUS, MORE GOTHIC WHICH APEALS TO MY TARGET MARKET.

AGE: THE TARGET AUDIENCE FOR MY MAGAZINE IS

PRIMARILY BETWEEN 14-22. THE COVER STAR IS WITHIN THIS RANGE SO THE READER FEELS THEY CAN RELATE.

GENRE: THE GENRE IS ROCK AND THIS PORTRAYED IN THE

ATTIRE OF THE COVER STAR.

THE MASTHEAD KABOOM! IS BRIGHT AND COLOURFUL AND TRIES TO DRAW THE TARGET AUDIENCE IN. MY FOCUS GROUP CONFIRMED THIS AS THE MOST NOTICABLE THING ON THE COVER. THE ARTISTS ON THE LEFT HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO ATTRACT FANS TO THE MAGAZINE AND ALSO THEESE MUSICIANS ACTUALLY FIT THE ROCK GENRE.

DIRECT GAZE IS USED TO MAKE THE READER LOOK AT HER MUTUALY. THE ACTUAL QUESTION BITS ARE ORDERED NICELY TO MAKE IT EASY TO READ UP CLOSE BUT HARD TO READ FROM A DISTANCE. THEREFORE, THE READER FEELS COMPELED TO FOCUS ON THIS STORY.

KABOOM LOGO IS FEATURED BECAUSE WE NEED TO GET THE AUDIENCE TO KNOW THE BRAND NAME. THE PINK HELPS THE RED TO STAND OUT FROM THE BACKGROUND WHICH HELPS GET THE NAME KNOWN. THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A CONVENTION OF MY MAGAZINE. THE LAYOUT HOWETHER WOULD BE. THE SMART COLLUMNS WITH SEPERATIONS REFLECTS THE NATURE OF ROCK AND THE EDITORIAL IS USED TO INTRODUCE THE EDITOR TO THE TARGET AUDIENCE AND AS A SALES PITCH TO PERSUADE THE READER TO BUY THE NEXT ISSUE.
