Evaluation Q5
How
did you attract/ address your audience?
Before constructing the masthead for the magazine, I done some research, and asked some people of the same age and interests what sort of title they would like for the magazine. The choices for a suitable name were ‘The latest’, ‘Freshers’, and ‘Choice’. The most popular was ‘FRESHERS’ because it is a word directly associated with young, new, fun, fresh people. The font for the masthead is in Arial, as I wanted my magazine to have a more formal, futuristic look.

I noticed that the ‘vibe’ magazine have a consistent colour scheme throughout one magazine. I took this into account when designing my magazine, the colours I have used in my magazine are all similar shades of black, and white or grey. This has given the magazine a professional look and it will help with the bold look of the magazine.
To attract my audience, I used the colours that are not often found on other popular HIP HOP/R&B magazines. Usually, they are aimed at both men and women. When aimed at women the colours used are normally pinks and yellows on the front cover. I have used a very light shade of grey for the front cover. The fact that it is light will mean it is attractive to women, and the fact that it is grey will mean men will also be drawn to it. The front cover is an image of a well known male artist, so when this magazine is being displayed, the audience will want to read deeper into the magazine. The people on the contents page are people that the audience will be able to relate to as they are all of similar ages to my target audience. The models are also dressed similarly to the target audience, with smart casual attire. The double page spread features a popular couple that my target audience are familiar with. My aim was to excite the reader with this current sensational storyline. The magazine will be distributed online, this is a good way to attract young, up to date readers.
