How did you attract/address your audience?

To attract/adress my audeice I made sure my contents page, feature atrical & front cover all looked professional and where visualy appealing to my targte audiece.

 

How my front cover would appeal to my audiece:

I personally feel that my front cover really reflect my target audience of 17-23 year old females. The front cover is extremely vibrant. The overall layout is simplistic which contrasts well with the tie dye background which is colourful. However, the artist contrasts further by her clothing and body language. Although, my front cover seems quite busy, the main focal  point is clearly the artist. Her arms and legs seem to stand out from the background pattern and her clothing.  From my previous research I have learnt that the clothing worn by the artist portrays the R&B genre. I looked up the sort of things R&B artists such as Beyoncé , Nicki Minaj and Rihanna  wear to help me decide what my front cover artist should wear. The media today, reflect a certain image. I felt that this was important to include on the front of my magazines, as many young females between the ages of 17-23 aspire to be like them. Delilah Dell fits within this media ideal, as she is slim and attractive.

How my Contents Page appeals to my audience:

My contents page on the other hand has a much more simplistic colour scheme of back, grey & white. This monochrome palette allows the image to stand out. The lay out is fairly similar to my front cover as the cover lines are all on the left had side of the page, this layout is effect as the text is limited allowing readers to focus mainly on the image. The image itself replicates the R&B genre, this is due to her body language and clothing. The body language  imitates how real life R&B artists act attracting my target audience.

 The captions are in bigger and bolder font which enables the reader to see the content just by a glace. I feel that my audience  would be attracted to this as they are more likely to be interested in the feature artists rather than the article itself.

 

 How my Feature Article appeals to my audience: 
 

        My feature article looks professional and attractive to the readers. The article itself doesn’t look too overwhelming due to use of columns not paragraphs. The colours used break up the text, making it look legible. Again, the focal point of the page is the artist. Her body language is illustrating several emotions. This forms a bond between the target audience and artist. I feel this artist appeals to my target audience because of her unidentified emotions. Her body language could come across in many different ways as it doesn’t show an immediate emotion. I think this would lead to people wanting to read the article as they are inquisitive to find out what emotion she is portraying.
