Evaluation question number 5 (part two)
- 1. Evaluation question number 5 How did you attract/address your audience?
- 2. Main image The main image is a close-up of the artists face and the artist is directly smiling at the camera. The fact that the picture of the artists is taking a whole page, shows her importance and gives her a lot of attention. The watermark, which is also the title, is not too noticeable, but tells the reader immediatley who the article on the right is about. By editing the picture black and white it fits really well with the colour scheme and the big smile from the artist draw´s the readers attention and creates a positive mode of address. It connects with the contents of the article and the coverlines, where the artists tells about how happy she is. Colour scheme The main colours are the same as on the cover and the contents page (white,black,pink and grey). Colours are being used to highlight more important bits and to make it look more professional.

Introductory paragraph There is a short text to give the reader a basic idea about what the main article is going to be about and to give them some information about the artist. It is written in white and itallic letters to make clear that it does not belong to the article below. Dropped capital letter The main article starts of with a big,bold,pink letter to make it easier for the reader to orientate and it also draws in attention .
- 4. Columns The article is split into two columns to make it easier for the reader to read and it also give the page a clear look. Important words and phrases are highlighted and one important pull quote is written in a bigger and different font as the rest of the article to help to draw the readers attention.
