Evaluation Question 5

Front Cover; I attracted my target audience through the different use of colours. The different colours I looked to use were the dark colours such as black and grey. These gave out the urban look, ensuring it linked in nicely with the genre of the magazine. The use of the large heading also attracted the audience, due to the fact it slots in nicely with the dark and mysterious background of the magazine front cover. Furthermore, I think the picture, would attract the audience because of the Mise en scene, and the low camera angle. The mise en scene, is evident adding emphasis to the genre, whilst the low camera angle is proving the dominance of the artist. Finally I think the subheadings will attract them, as it allows them to see what will be in the issue. The fact they are shown in bright colours is an eye-catching technique.

Contents page; The splitting of the information is a way in which I aimed to attract the audience. The audience would be able to see the key stories that will be featured in the magazine through the use of the page numbers and text on the contents page. The unusual shaping of the 'Contents' sign would also attract the audience, plus with the bright colours, as they are eye-catching, meaning that the audience will be able to pick this magazine out when browsing through the shops.

Double page Spread; The main article was the main thing that I used to attract the audience. It enabled them to find out all the latest news, plus they recieved an exclusive interview from the main artist for that month. This is an extra that all magazine editors tend to add in to, in order to strive to get more customers buying their magazine. Furthermore, the urban scene is once again created through the background, by the use of the dark colours, once again helping to catch the audiences eye. I have used two small pictures which have helped me relate to the stories in the article and with the key quotes that I pulled out from the article. They key quotes help to break the information down and allow the reader time to process their thoughts. The sensible font finally is another way that the magazine helps to attract it's audience, as it is easy to read, therefore it's just no nonsense and no hassle for audience and it fits in nicely with the whole background.
