Question 5; How did you attract/address your audience.

I have attracted my audience by using consistent colours throughout the magazine creating the house style which makes my magazine appealing to both males and females of my specific target audience, which is anyone between the ages of 16-25 that has an interest in Rock Music.

 I used cover lines that my target audience would find attractive, such as 'Download Headliners' to inform them what is going on in the area of music that they are interested in. I would also included many free posters within my magazine, this may appeal to some of my target audience as they may be on a low income and are not able to afford to by posters so by including them free with the magazine it makes it more appealing to certain groups within my target audience. I have also priced my magazine fairly cheaply so that those on a low income can afford it at a price of £3.50.

The text throughout my magazine is easy to read which will attract an audience and fan base for my magazine. I have used language in my magazine that is relatively the same as what my target audience would use. I have chosen not to use inappropriate language because although my target audience is 16 - 25 year old but there is a chance that some people interested in this genera may also buy a copy. I think that it would be a bad influence for them to be reading a magazine with explicit language. I haven't used basic English either, I have used slightly complex language so that my audience do not feel unintelligent and that the magazine is childish. The font is reasonably sizes throughout the magazine an they are considered to be mature and I didn't want to insult my audience by making any area of the magazine childish. I also made the content of the stories with informal language and the layout easy to read as most 16 - 25 year are constantly on the go.
