Question 5: How did I appeal to and attract my target audience?

Before planning and producing my magazine i carried out some audience research, as well as research into professional magazine layouts and what makes them effective and successful. I conducted some audience research earlier in my project before creating my magazine, to find out what interests my target audience.

After producing my magazine, i presented the completed pages to 10 people for some audience feedback, the results are shown below.

After reviewing my research and my audience feedback, i think overall my magazine appeals to my set target audience. This is proved by looking at some features in my magazine, for example the live gig photography, photos taken and sent in from readers, this is involving the audience with the magazine and making it personal to them, my audience feedback shows that 9/10 people believe this to be the case with Six Strings magazine. I think in a number of ways my audience replicates that of many popular music magazines, for example rock sound, and i considered this when targeting my audience. I used a relevant colour scheme, relevant features and articles to appeal to what my audience wants to see in a music magazine.
