Evaluation Question 2

How do you attract/Address your audience?

 

My target audience is 16/17 years old girls , to attract them to my magazine I need to address stories that they would be interested in, for example on my contents page I get to go into more detail of what my magazine fully entails, one of the articles is Jessie J answers your questions , I think that having this feature will attract teen girls to my column as she is someone is current , has a new TV show and is currently in charts, they would value her opinion and would be something they would buy into.

The way I would address my audience would be too use language that they would use all the time  , I would try to use this all the way through and make this be the mode of address I use to them, it would probably abbreviated in areas but most of time would be normal , nothing too complicated to understand but no very stupid either. Throughout my magazine I used simple language which everyone could read, I chose to do this as I want it to be a magazine to enjoy , to relax and unwind, not to figure out what every word means.

I am clear in that because of my target audience I use a certain mode of address to them.

I chose my cover star as a controversial figure which I hope would attract people to read to see if everything she had done was true because that what's people want to know, especially at that age , its interesting to read about other peoples problems .

From my audience feedback I feel I have create a magazine that would attract and keep entertained 16/17 girls, from the fonts and text which are clear and easily read, to my pictures which are fun and colourful which makes the page looks nicer and the layout which is clear and looks conventional to normal magazines but this is what would be attractive to my audience as they don’t want to venture outside of anything that’s not normal.

To look at what people thought of my target audience, I devised an imaginary entity

where they could answer questions in what they thought was my target audience. I asked three people to do this so I could find out what people thought of my target audience and when I got them back, I got the right kinds of answers I wanted.
