Research and Planning: Evalution Script

I made a script to help me with my evaluation question: How does my magazine attract an audience. This was to make sure I covered a lot of subjects and had a base to talk about the features of my magazine.

Prezi

My magazine attracts and address my audience in different ways. For example I think that the main thing that draws the audience in on the cover page is the huge picture of my model Will in the middle of the page. I think this attracts them as the magazine makes a big deal out of having him in the magazine as he is a big star so lots of fans would want to read it. This was also shown by the “Exclusive interview,” which would attract them. I also think that the free posters bit on the side make them more likely to get my magazine as everyone would want a free poster of their favourite starts. I think that the colours on my cover page really draw attention to the magazine as they are quite bright and are in my opinion make it obvious that the magazine is pop and it would really stand out in shop with other magazines also due to the large fonts that I used to attract young audiences. I think that the cover lines really entice the audience as I think that if I was to look for a magazine I would read cover lines that I thought would help me and interest me which I think mine do as it has the right mix of personal things with also the pop artist element showing a story of Will’s.  I think the layout of my cover page would attract my audience really well as it’s quite packed with a lot going on. I saw this is all the good pop magazines I looked at for research as it made the magazines look like there would be a lot of content inside.

On my double page spread I think it would attract the audience again widely with my model as it is mostly covered with his pictures as he is the main feature of my magazine as he’s supposed to be a mega popstar heartthrob and I think it shows through the way he’s posing in my pictures. I also think that the way the text curves around his arm in the interview is very poppy and is a good change rather than long columns and would interest the audience to see that. I also think that the layout is quite different and would make the audience want to stop for a second and look at the different pictures and poses in them. I think my colours in my double page spread lacked a little compared to the cover page but I think it helped the audience be able to read the interview without getting distracted as they were a lot of images.

I think that the main thing that attracted my audience in my contents page was definitely the text in it as they would read the stories and for the age group that would be reading my magazine they would be really interested to read them. I also highlighted parts of the text that I wanted them to read first to get them more interested in it. I also think the way my model Raine is sat is really fun an poppy which would make the reader want to read more as it looks like she’s inviting them in to red.
