Question 5

How did you attract/address your audience?
Cover
-Iv put the masthead "PASSION" at the top as it is where it usually goes on a magazine but also because it will stand out it will proberbly be the first things they look at. It stands out as its in bright red captials and it has space between the letters, i placed the month and year underneath so the reader knows what issue it is.
I put my central image as a big background image because it will draw the readers attention to the main story. The coverline to go with the image is at the bottom right so people will be able to link the image and coverline, HANNAH GORDON is wrote in big red letters so it stands out then underneath a smaller cover line "music shows how i feel..." this creates an ingma and might make the reader want to buy the magazine to read about what she means.
My Second coverline is placed on the left sid. top 5 Grammy Winners!, it will stand out as "top" is a kind of buzz word showing they were the best, also its bigger than the rest of the coverline and in red to match the main bits on the cover, its also in a different font of it stands out but the reader can still tell its all one coverline. The "!" empathises the top 5 Grammy Winners showing its really something big and good like an exclusive for the magazine.
Another cover like i choose to put more coverlines but made them smaller, its giving the reader an insight to another 5 storys which are included in the magazine with a little infomation underneath the artist. I highlighted the writing in red so it pops out to the audience and still sticks to the colour sheme.
Iv put the price at the top on a strip going through the masthead as that is the main thing people look at so the "Only £1" will stand out and the word only shows its a good deal. I also put the barcode near the price on the right side, iv also placed the website for the magazine there so the reader might see the website and decide to look online for more information.
Contents- On my contents page iv placed 3 images to do with the main story running up the left hand side so it interests people in reading it. The contents colour scheme matches with the coverpage so it all links together, the black a red stand out and red. I have headings such as Awards, Celebs, Reviews and Every issue, this way its easy for the reader incase they want to read or look at one certain thing its easy to find and doesnt waste time. I have also included a message from the editor, so the reader feels more connected to the magazine.

PS-The one page of my double page spread is a image of 'Hannah Gordon' looking beautiful and confident in nice fashionable clothes. A heading HANNAH GORDON at the top of the page in fancy black writing so it stands out and the audience know who the articles about and then a subheading  in red to keep with the colour scheme, also it gives the reader something to be interested in as they might want to know about her new stuff. The start of the article it gives some back ground on the celebrity Hannah Gordon this is to interest the reader to read more and its her a bit of information about her if they dont know her that much. I put this article in a interview form as it might interest the audience because its her answering the questions and not someone just writing a story about her. I also put a date in which her new album and hairspary she is promoting comes out, I also put a image of the album cover so people can regonise it in shops, or if they like the sound of it beable to find it easily.   Most of the questions are to do with her new album and what kind of music it has on it and also a bit about beauty and fashion so people get to see a bit more of what the girlie girl Hannah Gordon is about this should grab my target audiences attention as thats who im aiming at, people who enjoy them kind of things. At the end of the article is a kind of adverisment which is offering something to do with Hannah but also something that the reader might want to buy as were convincing them its a good product.
“I Hope people like it as much as I do!”


The things that would attract me to buy my magazine are the bright reds across the plain, whitey background also the image is of a pretty model so im going to want to buy the magazine to be able to be like that, also on the cover the 5 little coverlines which are highlighted in red would interest me because it only tells you a little bit of information on it so im going to want to buy the magazine to read more.
