How did you attract/address your audience?

Colour

• As my magazine is aimed at teenage girls I had to choose colours that would appeal to them, all the magazines in this genre usually used 2 colours and then black an white but on mine I aimed for a black and white image which challenges what is usually used on magazines and then used coloured text of light blue and light pink. These are the colours that are usually associated with teenage girls and are stereotyped as their favourite colours which would attract their attention towards the cover of the magazine.

Mise-en-scene

• The artist on the front cover of my page was styled so she didn’t look provocative and gave her a look of being a young, fresh faced girl who has just entered the music industry which will allow the audience to be able to relate to the new artist giving them a sense of security within the magazine allowing them to feel part of it.

Layout

• The layout of my magazine is well structured, the front cover of my magazine is that the image is the centre and the text is at the top and bottom and around the sounds which allows teenage girls not to be confused by it and it’s straight forward. My contents page is laid out in 3 columns, the first column being an image, the second column being what is featured in the magazine along with the third. My Double page spread is shown as text on one page and the other side of the page being images of the artist being interviewed. The text on the page is laid out in two columns which is follow a trend of having text in columns with a reoccurring theme in my magazine which allows the reader to get used to the layout and have no confusion.

Front cover layoutThe text on the top is behind the image but the text around the sides is above the image followed with the text at the bottom, the text is well presented and isn’t covering anything, it is framing the image which draws your attention to the centre.

Contents page layout

The contents page is in a layout of three columns, the first on being the picture, the second one being the list of what’s inside the magazine and the third being the same. This gives it a clean layout which will allows readers of any age to see a set layout and be able to understand it.

Double page spread layout

• On the left page the text is simply laid out into two columns which is organised and follows the theme of on the contents page which doesn’t give the readers any confusion and then on the right page the multiple images are in a layout which seems messy but are structured and set on angles to make the images work together.
