I attracted my audience by using bright colour in the mast head and other main headings and also, using an ironic and catchy statements to capture the readers and be able to ask questions and build interest in the theme of women in the rock magazine. The use of gender neutral colours addresses to the audience that anyone can read and be included in the magazines community. This is important as it enable that magazine to build up a loyal readership and would also, appeal to those looking for some entertainment as the magazine looks inviting and interactive because of the use of tag lines promoting the posters included and competition mentioned in the table of contents displays how much they are going to get for an affordable price. £2.20 was the chosen price as it is an amount that would not cause strain on a students finance which will convince people to purchase it instead of other competitors.
I used attractive models with good chemistry also, included photos with them displaying a funny and laid back showing there personalities which will draw readers into the article along with feeling an connection with the artist. The artists could be looked upon as role model and some on they can aspire to be like. The models are also, within the age range of Rock Centrals target audience which appeal to the audience as being relatable. As artists and magazines both use one another as a form of promotion this allows the artists fans to buy the featured magazine if they are perceived as being themselves and revealing in the interview unique information as well as, readers may become fans of the band if they are being presented in a positive light of which is something my group and I have displayed within the choices of photo, article and general design.
A number of unique fonts were used to attract the audience and be bold away from the images instead of using boring fonts that do not stand out and also, enable to be differentiate from other magazines. This allows part of the focus to be about the content of what the magazine is about as well as still maintaining focus on the photo. Choosing the font is imperative that many other rock magazines such as Rolling Stone and Rock Sound have a signature masthead and use recognisable font so, it is important to choose something different to avoid being the magazine being a duplicate or looking unappealing to readers. Achieving this by researching different fonts and downloading them onto the computer instead of using the fonts provided onto programs which are familiar but are very dull and simple.
The colours used were consisted through out the cover and content page making the magazine look well put together and formal within sticking to the rock image.Allowing the rock fans to immediately identify the magazine as a rock magazine instead of a gossip or pop music magazine, within the image of the magazine in itself with the artists wearing what they would be known to wear as their fans would be able to recognise them and also, the potential readers will get an essence of what the magazines about.
In the positioning of the texts and images were placed tactically to ensure the audience can clearly read also, be able to find the content. Which is why we structured the contents page and cover in a simple format to allow readers to be informed and get a preview of what is in the magazine which will entice the audience to find out more. Placing the page numbers and sectioning different parts of the magazine in the contents page lets the reader easily find what they are looking for. The magazine social networks are placed at the bottom left hand corner in which the reader has to go to turn the page which allows focus on them this also, allows the reader to communicate with others on the different platform and find out more about the magazine. Inaddition the placed of the images on the double spread allows the article to be split up and also, keep the readers engage with the photos and the article.
