Question 5 How did you attract your audience?


When looking at my primary research and my magazine I have tryed to take on account what people have said. I have also looked at professional magazines in contrast to mine to see if it was as high a quality as a professional music magazine. My primary results said that people wanted more female artists to be used in and on the front of the magazine, which I have done with my models Allison, Jessica and Sarah. They also said they wanted bright colours and bold texts, I have tryed to do this with the red and the black that are both in bold eye catching fonts. Some other results said that they liked having a band index in the magazine so that they could turn to their favourite bands page and one other result showed that they liked photographs to look different and appealing. For the article they said they would prefer it to be more personal and specific to the artist so that they could relate to the artist.
When looking at the professional magazine NME my magazine does have some high quality designs to it.
For example with the front cover both my product and NME use the colour res which is very eye catching and bold. They have used banners at the top and bottom of the page separating sell lines. However there are differences such as the border all the way around the magazine and the large banner holding most of the sell lines in on the left hand side. All of which make the magazine look attractive and appealing, but I have still incorporated things that a professional magazine would consider and made my own music magazine that after research and planning could be seen as a real music magazine.
