2. Clear photographs
This grabs the attention of the
audience making them want to
read, or at least look at my magazine.
The photographs also features young
cover stars which attracts my target
audience of young adults.
An example of this is my front cover’s
main image
3. Masculine colour scheme
This grabs the attention of the
primarily male audience as it is dark
and masculine colours.
Colours such as red attract males as it
connotes the idea of aggression
which is associated with the
stereotype of males being angry.
This colour scheme is shown
throughout the magazine pages.
4. Obvious portray of music genre
Because the Alternative Rock genre is
obviously represented and shown in
my magazine young adults who enjoy
this music will recognise it.
It is shown through the conventions
such as rough fonts throughout the
magazine.
Bands shown on the front page also
give an insight to the music genre
portrayed.
If my audience are attracted to these
bands from this music genre, they are
more likely to want to buy my
magazine
5. Professional look
Because my magazine looked
professional and presentable it
attracted my target audience more.
Because my magazine is aesthetically
pleasing to the target audience, of
young adults/primarily male who
enjoy Alternative Rock music, it gave
the impression that the articles were
also of a high standard.
This professionalism was shown in
the contents page because many of
my target audience feedback
commented on how organised and
professional it looked.
6. Masthead and titles
Because my magazine had a striking
masthead and titles my target
audience noticed them automatically.
This was because they were
prominent and different; one of the
things my targeted audience said
attracts them to read a magazine is
striking features such as photographs
and fonts.
I also used rough fonts and picked
masculine colours according to the
colour scheme which also attracts
young adults that are primarily male.
