Images of popular rap artists would appeal to my target au-dience as it would attract them into purchasingthe magazine.

Content on the front page about bandinformation, such as tours and albums, would attract my audi-ence as this is something which would appeal to them.

Shows that bright colours would attract my target audience be-cause it will catch their eye. On websites such as Kerrang, they use bright colorus to appeal to their audi-ence.

These colorus would attract my target audience so this shows that must these colours to make the magazine ap-peal to them. The effect of making it appeal to the tar-get audience, is that the magazine would attract the audience, making them want to purchase it.

By having these common conventions of a magazine, then it would appeal to my tar-get audience as then they would purchase the product. As well as this, due to hav-ing “small subtitles”, then this would interest the reader as having a too much text, then it might put off the reader, so a smaller amount of text would attract them.

The target audience wants to see images on the contents page, as well as the double page spread. This is because the images would break up the text, which means that it would make it seem as though there isn’t a lot of text. Also, the images used would at-tract the audience because having someone famous they can read out, it would make the magazine appeal to them.

As well as this, the target audi-ence has told me that having filters on the images, such as a black and white effect, then it would attract the reader because it is something dif-ferent to look at.

Having a lot amount of text on the double page spread doesn’t put off the target audi-ence reading the magazine. In their opinion, they believe that having more text is more convenient as they can know more about the issue, then by having more im-ages over text.

This shows that by having a lot of text, then images to break up the text would attract the audience because individ-uals who I have researched had all said this. This shows that I must incorporate these ideas when creating my prod-ucts.

This questions asks that there has to be a clear house style, between all of the pages, to en-sure that the link up together in some way. Some ideas which I have decided to use was to have the page numbers in the right hand corner, and then the website on the left. This has to be used on each page, to show a clear house style.

This shows that the price of the magazine has to cost around £3, slightly lower or higher is fine. In my opinion, I believe that the best option for the pricing is £2.50, or even £2, as the magazine is a weekly is-sue. However, if the magazine was a monthly issue, then the price would need to be higher, for example it could cost £4.00

Each individual feedback which I had received from my research group has helped me to create magazine which is tailored for my target audiences needs. All of the feed-back which I had received has contributed to the way that my magazine is go-ing to be made, from the house style of the magazine to the different images which I am going to create.

How I am going to use the feedback?

Colours To Use: The feedback which I have been given for the colours to use has been effective because it has told me correct colours to use such as red, black and grey. It has also told me which colours not to use as it doesn’t relate to the genre of my magazine, such as green, pink and brown. Images To Use: The feedback which I have been given for the images and the image style has been effective due to being able to know the types of images which would attract the target audience into reading the magazine. From the feedback given, I know that I must use filters on the images, to create a certain effect. Filters such as black and white and lens flares should be used as then this would attract the target audience into reading the magazine. Price To Use: The feedback which I have been given for the price of the magazine has been effective, due to knowing the amount of money which the target audience is prepared to purchase the magazine at. By knowing the price of which I am going to sell my magazine at, which is going to be £3.50 for a monthly issue, then this would also attract my target audience into purchasing the magazine, due to know-ing the correct amount of money which would appeal to them.
