Evaluation 5: How did you attract/address your audience?


There are many similar aspects of my magazine front cover that relate to Kerrang!
The blue circle reveals on both a free posters section is available with in the magazine. I have included this on my front cover as it will encourage more readers to buy the issue as they may want the posters to stick on their wall, which many teenagers seem to enjoy doing.
Two of the bands that I have included are also on Kerrang! which are Fall Out Boy and Paramore, this reveals that I have selected bands that the audience will be interested in as this magazines has a similar target audience.
On both covers smaller photos have been included to reveal what can be found inside. The continuous use of capital letters and the busy nature of the of the two issues makes the magazine seem full of information so that the reader will think they are getting their moneys worth.
The dark coloured clothing of the model(s) reveals the darker theme of music they play which the reader will see and so will be more interested in buying the magazine.
Similarly I have included a main image of the person I will be doing the greatest interview on in my magazine, which Kerrang! have done too.

My unique selling point is the fact I have included the top ten songs of the decade, as it is not everyday that a decade finishes so people will be intrigued to see what people who like the same genre of music as them think the top songs are and if they have not heard of some of them then they may want to look them up.
In my double page spread my mode of address is very friendly and welcoming to make it seem as if the reader is part of the conversation, this will entice them to read on to find out what the artist has to say.
