Evalutaion Q5.
- 1. Q5. HOW DID YOU ATTRACT/ADDRESS YOUR AUDIENCE?
- 2. MY AUDIENCE! My media product is a rock music magazine, which is aimed towards both male and female genders, around the age of 15 to 20. I have created my magazine so that it will provide my audience with a magazine that will suit there needs and satisfaction. I produced a questionnaire before I began creating my product so I could find out what rock music fans would want to see in a magazine. This questionnaire helped with the basics e.g. colour, five favourite bands, what interests you most about magazines etc. This information helped me plan my layout colour and allowed me to have an understanding of what my target audience expected.
- 3. FRONT COVER! My front cover attracted my addressed my audience through the main image as the model, uses direct eye contact in order for it to catch the eye of the target audience, as he has an edgy and angry feel about him, which where the two most chosen moods from the questionnaire, his attire is also looks very rock like and the colours also fit perfectly with the colour scheme also chosen by my audience, red, yellow, black and blue. I have used white graphic to highlight certain cover lines to make them stand out and look more appealing. I have also used it at the bottom of my bar code so I can add extra information; issue, date, price. These colours present a rock feel as red connotes passion and many musicians and music lovers are passionate about there music, it also shows anger a chosen mood, black creates a sense of power, and the colours blue and yellow are very calm and welcoming colours which allow the audience to feel welcomed. The magazine also consists of many famous rock bands, which attracts the audience and the audience be able to connect with the magazine more.
- 4. CONTENTS PAGE! My Contents page has attracted and addressed my audience through the three images, the two at the bottom left both use direct address and create an edgy vibe to the page, to show that it a rock magazine on of the is dressed in KISS make up and is in black and whit to create a mysterious vibe. The main image at the top shows that is a rock magazine through the mise en scene of her clothing but the model is also smiling allowing the audience to feel welcomed into the magazine. The colour scheme is the same as the front cover to show that the magazine is consistent and to reflect the colours of rock. I have also created a lot of content to show that there is a wide rage of topics and exciting news to update on. Another important thing that will attract the audience is the subscribe at the bottom, I have looked at the magazine Kerrang! to give me ideas, and this was one of them as many magazines use them, so I have created a subscribe to attract my audience into buying the magazine every month for £3.00 instead of £3.50. I have also used graphics to highlight the headings to make them stand out and to make the page look attractive.
- 5. Double Page My Double page spread has attracted and addressed my audience as the article is about a new up coming band called Merger, and is about how they started to where they stand now. The colours scheme is similar to the contents and cover, as I have filled the page with black to allow the writing to stand out and the writing is Red, yellow and white, which are colours that represent there passion for music and to show how they are unique and how they bring out power in their music. And I have used a black and white image, which I have taken as a collage of different thing about the band, I couldn’t meet with them so I have been a little creative and imaginative. I have used the title ‘Band in a Box’ as the article is about their album ‘Ouside the Box’ so I have played around and been imaginative. Also the Heading stretches across the whole page like most DPS do. To help me with layout designs I have been using the magazine Kerrang! To help me figure out what the audience likes best in the articles as I wanted to make sure my article met the standards they hope a rock magazine would meet.
