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.
