Draft question 5

The photography used in my magazine played a big role in attracting my audience because it represented the idea and genre of the magazine through meaningful and eye catching pictures. The images used throughout my magazine where taken in different locations to make it more appealing to the audience and make it look more professional. I edited the some of the pictures with filters to make it look more attractive to the reader and make my pictures personal. The photography reflects my genre because of the clothing my model is wearing and the colour scheme, also the positioning of the models. The model shows confidence which also attracts the reader.

The colour scheme used also attracted and appealed to my reader because they were bright and contrasted well together. The colours were bold and contrasted with the text and the images and it was easy to read and understand. The red used was eye catching. Using specific colours will make the audience remember the magazine and the layout because it makes it memorable. My inspiration came from the other case studies I have looked at such as Kerrang and Rocksound because these rock magazines also use a similar colour scheme.

The language I have used throughout my magazine and my article is mostly informal but there is also some formal language, this appeals to the reader because it makes it easy to read and understand and my target audience would be familiar with it and therefore, would enjoy reading the magazine. The layout of the article on my double page spread was a Q&A which allowed the reader to follow the text easily and also understand who is speaking when. In addition the reader would know what the artist is speaking about in each paragraph before they started reading it.

The fonts used throughout my magazine were consistent and bold, but also easy to read as they were not too funky, yet they still looked appealing and professional.
