My magazine’s target audi-ence is attracted firstly through

the colours I have used which are red, black, grey and white. These colours suit males and females allowing it to reach a larger audience. Addition-ally these colours go well with my magazine theme of pop and appeal to my target age of teenagers and above. The colours look appropriate to

my target audience of pop magazine compared to some that include gender bias co-

lours such as pink and yellow. Furthermore, I have included a lot of different conventions a magazine that would attract my audience both ways; make them want to buy my magazine

and give more for the price

they pay. To get them to buy the magazine I included what they want. I did this with the re-search I carried out. One of the research methods was to look

at existing magazines and how they achieve their target audi-ence. Secondly I carried out a

survey for teenagers as that is my target audience which in-volved questions which would

help me decide what they want; for example, price of magazine, genre of magazine, what kind of freebie they would like – CD, poster, etc. I have

also included competitions to win tickets to big music events so that covers the point that my audience are getting more than the price they pay for. The audience that I have tar-geted is quite young so they will be involved in the new technol-ogy meaning social media such as Twitter and Facebook. The

use of social networking sites will allow my audience an easi-er access to sneak peeks of my magazine each month which will encourage them to buy the magazine to know the full stories and gossip. Additionally the young audience will have good phones which are Smart-

phones such as Android, Black-berry and iPhones which have

multiple uses such as emails and apps. This will allow my magazine to email newsletters to those who have subscribed to my magazine. Also phones such as iPhones will be able to download the App for free from the App Store and the App would include the front covers of all issues so far and it would be possible to buy the latest issue of the maga-

zine from the App itself how-ever it will be at a higher price. Additionally, my articles are based on gossip as that is what I have found from my survey results. My audience mostly care about the personal life of an artist which is what I have aimed for. My article includes an interview which reveals hid-

den features and character-istics of my model. This also links with my images that I have used because my article is about a hideous looking girl who then looks pretty and the audience can relate to this as it can change ones perspective.

The style of writing of my magazine is easy to read and my audience would feel calm and relaxed whilst reading it. I have found out that dif-

ferent magazines have a font which is suitable for the genre of the magazine. For example a metal rock genre have big bold looking font which ex-presses the metal rock type of

music. So I feel the two main fonts I have used throughout suits my theme of pop music. There is an additional way that my magazine can be dis-tributed to my audience. This is through billboards and bus stop advertising.

As you can see I have included a code which people can scan to get the magazine app straightaway on their phones.
