Q5. How did you attract/address your audience?

   (Click photos to see additional notes)

My target Audience was males and i believe the colour scheme of my magazine, along with the male artist featured in my magazine will attract the right kind of audience. My magazine was also aimed at Indie/alternative audience, my magazine attracts this audience by featured many Indie/alternative bands throughout the magazine which will encourage them to read the magazine. The text used for the title of my magazine is very bold and quite masculine, which would again attract my audience.

Jess: Ed's front cover is really appealing as the layout is eye catching and bold; the model used on the cover is suited to the genre of the magazine and this is carried through all three pages. The contents doesn't live up to the front cover, but still fits with the theme however it could be made slightly better by re-thinking the positioning of the photograph. The double page spread uses good images as they fit in with the article, also the columns of the article look really professional and fit in with the whole page. Overall the consistency is brilliant and the pages all fit together.

Josh: What i like about Ed's front cover is that the masthead is bold and appealing to the audience. The coverlines are placed effectively around the main image, who portrarys the right image of the genre Ed's magazine is based on. The main image seemes similar to the contents page image, it would have been nice if there was a variation between the 2 photos. I really like the layout of the contents page as i feel everything has been placed perfectly for the reader. The double page spread has a simple apporach, with an image coverling the left and collumns of text to the right, but still having a professional feel about it. Overall i think the magazine is good and i would be attratced to the magazine, if i saw it being sold in a shop.

Front cover- I really like the layout of the front cover, even thought there is a good amount of text it does not look to jammed and the image still stands out very well amoungst the text. I like the colour schme that has been used, red black and white. I think that thses three colours stand out well when together and having three colours is a good amout. The two different fronts on the front cover contrast really well together so that they both stand out but dont look like they dont go together.

Contents page- Again with the contents page i really like the layout becuase there is alot of text but it is not all squashed togther in one part of the page it is all spread out well making the images stand out. The feature that i really like on this is the F that is underneath 'contents' i like the consistancy of the name of the magazine and also again the colour scheme has been kept.

Double page spread- The double page spread is very nicly set out,half of the page is an image and the other half of the page is the article, i think this makes the page look very well presented. With this page the colour scheme has carried on through with links the three pages well together and also the F on the left hand side.

Overall i think this magazine is very well presented and would sell well to its target market.
