Target Audience
•The target audience for my magazine is aimed at mainly teenagers between the ages of 15 to 20 and individuals who enjoy listening to the genre of rock music. My magazine will mainly be aimed at students who would be interested in going to the gigs of the type of artists featured in the articles, therefore they might be interested in this type of magazine.
Design Brief
·
Based on my research, I have decided that the masthead
for my magazine must be big and bold to attract attention from the magazine.
·
I will also have plenty of information on the front
cover as having lots of information appears to interest more people than not
having as much.
·
The overall layout of my magazine will be not too
messy but will not be very neat as my research shows this will attract more
attention.
·
The colour scheme of my magazine will be a typical
rock magazine colour scheme as I will mainly use black, red and white.
·
The text featured on my front cover will be straight
and perfectly aligned instead of slanted so that it makes it easier from the
reader the read.
·
The mode of address will be friendly, with a
combination a chatty and loud tone, so that the reader is invited in to read
the magazine.
·
The layout for the text will be a clear neat layout so
that it is easy to read.
·
I will use lots of images on the magazine, not just
text so that it looks more interesting and appealing to the reader.
