Evaluation 5

I have attracted my target audience by using stereotypical tropes of pop rock music magazines. For instance, the certain idiolect that I have decided to use in some of the articles and taglines. I have done this to connect with the audiences certain slang and sayings. It is also done to show how young the writers at my magazine are, and it also makes my magazine very approachable, like you are greeting an old friend.
 The visuals in my magazine, including the layout, are used to make it an easy read for my target audience. For instance, the most exciting headlines are made the biggest to show the audience what they can expect from the magazines many articles

I also made my magazines colour scheme very colourful making it look attractive.

Evaluation 4

The audience for my magazine would be young adults and teenagers. The genre of music is rock, and this music demographic has been popularised over the years entirely due to music magazines. I have aimed to hit the demographic by incorporating many different elements of stereotypical music magazines.
Fans of rock music usually have a slight social disposition, not wanting to conform to everyday music genres like pop music or rap. They also want musicians that are not manufactured or made to sell albums, they want musicians thats purpose in life is to bring music to people.

Evaluation 3



I have chosen Bauer Media Group as my Institution because they manage Kerrang!, the leading inspiration for my magazine. They also seem to be in touch on how to attract the audience by getting exclusive interviews with the most popular artists of there genre. They also use all platforms of social media and television to promote and advertise the magazines that they manage. This comes in the form of many things, such as websites, facebook and twitter pages, radio shows and even awards ceremonies. I have also chosen Bauer Media Group because they are in touch with the younger market, with the journalists writing the columns actually engaged and interested with the musicians they are writing about.
