How did you attract/address your audience?

Here is a comparison between my magazine’s front cover and Billboard magazine’s cover, as you can see I took inspiration from many front covers and this was one of them. Billboard is a well established magazine with a great audience so by having a similar layout will allow my magazine to look very professional to my target audience. I chose to have the artists name in a bold font across the page like Billboard as it stands out and immediately lets the audience know who the main feature is. Also I used an image that features the artist looking directly at the audience which is more inviting and will encourage customers to buy the magazine. Due to my magazine being a slightly different genre to Billboard’s I features a lot more dark colours in my design such as black and grey as this is more appealing to my researched audience, making my magazine more conventional

Before I even began creating my magazine I designed a questionnaire to hand out to people to find out what my audience’s interest are when reading a magazine and what they would like to see in mine, this allowed me to design it to appeal especially to them which maximises the chance of it being appealing and selling well to my target audience.

The content that is included within the magazine Tempo is great, its very relevant, easy to read and suitable to

the genre as I find it interesting to read. The layout used throughout is

also very clear and easy to follow and understand which creates great

usability for the audience and I would definitly buy this magazine again.

I think that this magazine has very good, original qualities such as its colour

scheme, a lot of magazines use white throughout so seeing so much black used in Tempo really stands out and it caught my eye also I think its great for reflecting

the genre of music which is included within the magazine. The bold main

image on the front cover is also great, as she is looking directly at me [the

audience] I feel as if she is inviting me in to read, which is great.
