1. Question 5 How did I attract/address my audience?
2. How I tried to appeal to my target audience
Iused a consistent and easy on the eye colour scheme to draw in my
audience and make my magazine look better
I attempted to draw readers in with large, attention grabbing sell
lines and interesting puffs and captions
In the main image, the model looks directly into the camera
establishing a connection with the audience so they hopefully are
interested in them and the model appeals to them.
The layout of each page is simple to read and not too text heavy.
This is sop people are not put off by the look of the magazine and
are invited into it.
The poses of the model fit into the genre yet are neither
aggressive or dismissive. They can intrigue the reader and help
them to buy the magazine.
3. I tried to make sure my double page spread article was
broken up so it didnt appear text heavy. In my audience research,
people said that in other magazines the article looked text heavy
and this created a negative effect. Therefore I tried to break it
up as much as possible which pictures, quotes, drop caps and bold
writing.
Similarly to on my first two pages, I tried to draw in my audience
and establish a connection with the model. I did this by having the
model look into camera and using large colourful headings and
sub-headings.
From my audience research, I learned a lot from my audience and
this transpired through my work in a number of ways. I made sure
that my models look appealing and not to alienate my audience from
them as this came across in an interview. Also I tried to make sure
the colour scheme stayed constant and nothing overpowered the page
as these were all noticed by my audience when looking at similar
magazines.
4. Rough Cut Feedback Subsequent Changes
From my rough cut feedback, I received great constructive criticism
which helped me to improve my work and learn from what I had made.
Changes I made from this feedback are that the right hand corner of
my front page was blank, the colour of the quote was too dark and
unreadable, I changed one of the pictures on my front cover to vary
shot distance, I changed font on my double page spread and added a
stroke on my text. I received all this feedback seen here and the
changes can be seen on the next slide.
