How did you attract/address your audience?

My audience age range is 16-24 year Old’s, older teenagers to younger adults. I designed my magazine so that it would attract this particular age boundary. I used both genders on my pictures that I took to attract both to buy the magazine; this has also helped me publicize my magazine. 

Although as the cover has a 'attractive' girl on the front page it will sell more to the male sex as due to the 'male gaze' theory. I feel my magazine will attract an audience of 16-24 year Old’s as it’s my target market and also because it’s like other magazines that have already been published. For example clash and Fader have used a bold title to attract the audience so i have tried to do the same however my masthead is slightly to the left. 

My front cover, Contents page and Double page spread feature both male and the female sex, both in juxtaposition to each other to get the correct balance. Through the images I have taken you can see what sort of personalities they have, however in these photos they have more of a serious face so they look moody looking directly at the camera. Rob looks like he is more dominate over Carly as he is looking upright and has good posture; both took it very seriously whilst we were in the studio.

When I was writing my article I didn't want to bore my audience so i had to keep it flowing to keep the readers interested.

The contents page will attract the audience because it’s easy and clear to read and understand.  It shows pictures of what’s inside the final magazine and brand new news for the reader of the age group 16-24. My audience will want to read on as I have exclusive interviews inside. Also on my double page spread again showing pictures on the band members attracts the audience the way my article is written is to inform the readers of the bands success so far, it’s not a question and answer layout.
