In order to attract my audience, I tried to address them in a very casual tone. The reason for this format of addressing the audience is to make the audience feel as if they are having a conversation with a real person. By making the Audience think they are talking to a real person, it allows them to feel a lot more casual while reading and in a real life magazine it would cause them to want to try and socialise with the content, such as going on Twitter and Facebook and making contact with the creators, creating a community.
I included a lot of images of Richard, my model that featured on all pages that I created. My model is dressed in very smart clothes, a suit, this is to help attract my audience, male; they see a smartly dressed male and desire to look like him. It could be said that my audience could stretch to female because of the male on my cover, and how he is dressed, although this would be down to personal preference.
I took 200 photos over the course of two photo-shoots; the first photo-shoot I took did not land me with any good shots that I wanted to keep, as they were of a different model, so in the end I decided to delete them. My second session was of my current model and contained a lot more professional looking photographs that I was able to use for my final magazine. The first photo-shoot I had only used two lights, but the third used three, and with the use of three lights it allowed me to take a lot brighter and vivid photos.
On my double page spread, I added filter effects to my image to make the colours more vivid, especially the strap on the guitar; there are two lines of blue on the strap that I added filter effects to make stand out amongst the rest of the image, giving a very vivid contrast of colours.
This needs more analysis. Look closely at your magazine and select the key aspects which would appeal to your audience. Look very closely at the type of language you employ as well as the types of bands featured in your magazine.
