How did you attract/address your audience?

For my media product, i tried to include many different things to attract and keep my readers interested. I tried to make my magazine as unique and original as it could be. For my front cover i tried to catch the audiences attention, not by using colour but going for a black and white theme which i believed would stand out upon other magazines that are coloured. The main image is quite a dark and scary image, this would also attract readers as they would want to have a closer look and see what is being advertised. I haven't cramped too much onto the front cover which would help the audience read the most important bits and would hopefully look further into the magazine if they read something they like. The lettering has also been spaced out to ensure simplicity and presentation. By adding a little bit of colour to a black and white theme advertises importance and that there is a reason why i have chose to make it stand out more. The style in which i have created my media product would attract my target market because it is a rock theme which is the genre of my magazine, the colours are the main colours used throughout my final pieces. For my contents page i have used a plain black background to keep its originallity as many other magazines would not do this. From saving all the information from the front cover i have used it in the contents to fill the page, this would show the reader that there is alot to read which would attract them further and the audience would immediatly take an interest. By adding a little colour in again shows a pattern that would be used throughout and would therefore not come as a surprise to the audience. My contents page looks very full which would attract the reader as my magazine being exciting. My double page spread has tried to keep originallity but personally i feel it has to stick to certain rules. One thing that i have used to attract the audience is the main image fades into the background to give off a sense of mystery, i also feel that this gives my double page spread a look of expert editing and looks very high class. The information isn't all cramped together which would impress the reader as it looks easy to understand. The main heading i think works well with the black background and the main image, it stands out and is very easy to read. The reader would feel at ease while reading this ariticle because of the presentation and the space that is well needed.
