Page 2: Q6 attract audience

Use of conventions to attract audience

By having a bold and iconic masthead, I subverted conventions by using a unique font that is different from generic mainstream fonts usually used for mastheads. This may attract my audience as it may be seen as breaking the norm and makes my magazine look more authentic.

The use of the button and plus distinguishes from the rest of the text used in my front cover which is visually attractive for the audience but also the list of artists in the corner of my cover may lure the audience as they are popular bands.

1. What kind of colours would you mostly asso-ciate with indie music?

Series1

I used the results of my questionnaire by combing the results with the highest percentage when choosing the colour scheme for my magazine. I combined both yellow and blue in order to meet my audiences expectations

As the recommendation of artists were highly popular I made sure most of the features mentioned in my contents page were about upcoming artists and this is further reinforced by my dps article and choice of subject for my front cover.

Page 7: Q6 attract audience

To attract or address my audience I have used many features that would allure them such as using popular artists in the genre on the contents and front page of my magazine. Also in my questionnaire I found that the most likely articles people would want to see in my magazine are reviews of albums and artists and recommendations of new artists. I have used this in my contents page by including articles like e.g. ‘hot or not’ and ‘exclusive interview with…’. My double page spread would also interest the audience as it is an insightful article that will prompt readers to think and interpret the information. Furthermore I have used rhetorical questions in my contents page to tempt the reader into finding out more.
