Evaluation Question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?tallk about questionnaires what you did to advertise it- post in on facebook

To attract my audience I had to make sure to follow the conventions which are to have the right layout, images, colour scheme house style appeal to the customers. I have to make sure that this is successful as this is proven to be a key factor for current top selling magazines. For my magazine I have to take into case the mise-en-scene is also another important factor in magazines is to attract my target audience. An example is on my double page spread, Jay Jay mraz there is a lot more colour in this picture to the other two pictures, as the red guitar and the blue shoes are coloured. This attracts my target audience because in my target audience Leon likes to wear leather jackets and likes to play the guitar. Also as well on my double page spread there is two smaller images where the text is there is two images which Leon would like as he likes cheque shirts and also leather jackets this would mean that my target audience would like this and this would attract him to get the magazine. From my poll 55% requested that they wanted a blue, red and white colour scheme. 22% chose red, black and white. I feel that I have done wrong here for my target audience because I haven’t listened to them and I should of done this. The reason I chose red, black and white is because the pictures I took was with a red guitar and I thought that for my editing of the pictures I was going to colour pop the picture and leave the red guitar in colour this would then look better with it being red, black and white because there would be a dark background representing well with the black. Other ways to grab the audiences attention i was offering a lot of chances to win tickets and competitions. On the front cover the was a pug which says "win tickets to Jamie" and on my contents page there was the chance to win tickets to new york. This would grab the audiences attention a lot as they will then want to buy the magazine to win chances of a life time courtesy of Spotlight magazine.

To advertise my media product I had to get feedback from customers to see what they want in a magazine, to do this I got fellow media students to do my questionnaire also to advertise my blog I posted the link on Facebook to get people around my age to do my questionnaire the results ended up well with quite a few people answering my questionnaire.
