Question Five - Audience Feedback Video

  How did you attract/address your audience?

      I included glamorous images, boy band interviews, “exclusive gossip” and beauty tips to attract my audience. When doing research, I found that the contents page is used to also attract the audience when they are flicking through the magazines. Therefore, I made sure that the articles mentioned within my contents would be articles that would interest my peers and me as we are within the target age group. I also asked about the contents when doing my audience feedback to ensure that my articles were effective in attracting my target audience. 70% of purchases are done on impulse therefore my front cover must be eye catching and appealing. On my front cover, I used a main image that was glamorous and eye catching to make my magazine stand out with stereotypical colours that are bright and vibrant which therefore appeal to the young audience. Furthermore, I used the incentive of winning VIP tickets via a competition, which entices the readers to purchase my magazine over other magazines on the shelf.

Responding to Audience Feedback - Double Page Spread

I made the image larger and grouped the text in just half of the page.
I also changed the headline and added typical features of a magazine such as; larger letters at the beginning of text and page numbers alongside the magazine title and the date at the bottom of the pages.
I made the decision of not including the entire interview in the double page spread. Many real interviews and photo shoots go across a number of pages  so I thought this method would work just as well.
