How did you attract / address your audience?

Who is my audience?
The music genre of my magazine is
‘country-pop”. I will majorly focus on
the pop aspect but include country
themes. Pop music is a popular genre
of music, including chart music and
most upcoming stars. It is very
popular with teenage girls in
particular, ranging from the age of 11
– 18 years old.

Photography
My photography is of a teenage girl
making it relatable for my target
audience. Also where she is in the woods
this makes her seem like she’s fitting
more into the music genre ‘country pop’.
She is also smiling in every photo so she
doesn’t seem too serious making her
more likeable to the audience.

Colour scheme
I have chosen the colour scheme
throughout of black and white but
with bright red placed throughout
to break sections up or stand out
compared to the page. Red is a
statement colour which is really
in fashion at the moment as
well, attracting my female target
audience whilst drawing in their
attention.
I ensured the red colour was not over used so that when it was used it
stood out and made more difference. I kept the photos in colour because
they seemed more ‘real’ making her more relatable to the teenage girls
reading it.

Language choices
My choice of language was carefully selected in order to appeal to my
target audience, and also suited well in my particular music genre.
(Country pop)
My masthead ‘TREND’ dennotates to a particular notion that is
interested in by the public eye. For example a particular band or artist.
Teenage girls often want to fit in and follow the trend and this can be
possible if this magazine is bought.
On the front cover I used cover lines and puffs and plugs that all
appealed stereotypically to my target audience of teenage girls. This
included of fashion choices, and the chance to win tickets to see Taylor
swift, a musician fanned by majority of girls.
I also used very simple language to in order they didn’t have to think to
hard. This makes sure they don’t have to think and the magazine can be
used as an enjoyment factor.
