Question 5 How did you attract/address your audience?

I-Rock will attract its readers by there online website, application and magazine because what the audience want a magazine which is loyal to there readers and can get them information even when there waiting for the next issue to come out. The way my magazine will show its loyalty to the readers is by getting them the news, reviews, interviews and gossip as soon as it comes out.
I wrote this on my editors letter on my contents page because if the reader thinks were dedicated to getting them what they want my magazine will get more attention.

I used standard english for my coverlines, other text on contents page and for my interview on my double page spread. I did this because most bands don't use slang in there music.

The person who I used for my front cover is 17 years old. I used him because he is what on average my reader dresses and looks like.
The accessories I asked him to wear were headphones because alot of people have started wearing them as a casual accessorie so appeals to my target audience.
I also asked him to wear a checked shirt with another t-shirt underneath because thats what my target audience are more familiar with i discussed checked shirts in question 1 and that it is a very familiar piece of clothing in rock.

The person I picked for my front cover is male so will attract a male audience because a male audience can relate and understand a male band featured on the front cover. He will also attract a female audience because hes not fat or ugly and he has cool hair which a female audience will be attracted to.

I also edited his hair on photoshop to make it appeal more to my target audience.
Listers of rock usually try to be very creative with their hair and put highlights in it or spike it up to make themselves look unique and to basically show people what sort of person they are.

I changed my models hair to a more lighter colour I wanted to be more of a red colour because it appeals to my audience and it is a more striking colour than just a bland brown colour. With the colour I changed his hair to it makes the magazine more appealing and matches the coverlines and masthead of the front cover.

My contents page and double page spread I used guitars to attract musicians to my magazine. Not only can it tell people whats on offer from the band and what instruments they can play but musicans reading would be looking for tips because there playing the same instrument as someone who is famous and featured in a magazine so they could be looking for a way to improve there skills by reading a guitarists interview.
The colour of my magazine is mostly based on reds, blacks and whites but I didn't keep to the same colours for my contents page and double page spread I wanted my other each of my other pages to look unique and different because I wanted each page to appeal to different kinds of audiences.
