An evaluation of the music magazine I created for my media project.

1. Evaluation

5. The colour pink clearly represents the social group of females. It is the stereotypical colour associated with girls. This effectively I chose to use this to appeal to the female target audience. I also used purple as this is also associated with females. I feel both colours compliment each other and clearly stand out on the white background. The bold fonts used highlight important articles. I also used a large font to show the page number. This appeals to a younger social group and emphasises the fact the magazine is fun, easy and interesting to read. The large images used attract attention from a younger social group. The props, clothes, hair and makeup have been used to target females as they are interested in fashion. The props used include a piano, this shows that although the magazine talks about music stars themselves the main focus is the music.

8. How did you attract/address your audience? The strap line I used reads ‘THE UK’S GUIDE TO THIS YEARS FESTIVALS..’ which will appeal to my target audience of young girls. It encourages them to read the article. By offering readers the option of over 100 to choose from suggests the magazine is professional, interesting and aware of what interests teenage girls. I used a large, bold font to advertise ‘free posters’ The posters are of artists who are popular amongst a young, female audience. For example Rihanna. I believe teenage girls will be interested in putting posters up of their idols, through offering seven free posters I feel this will attract my target audience The artist used is wearing fashionable clothes, which will appeal to the female target audience. This is because the majority are interested in clothes and fashion. The characters is wearing an interesting headband which shows her style is unique. This will appeal to the target audience who are unique and don’t want to conform to other teenage girls. The artist will also appeal to the audience as an idealistic role model to admire.
