Evaluation- 5. How I attracted my audience?

I can see they liked my magazine, but there are no direct comments relating to how real it looks.
The content is appropriate, such as the topics covered related well for my audience.
The mode of address did not seem a problem for my audience, although it could have been more slang, to appeal to the rebellious side of my audience.

The fonts chosen were shown to have a positive effect on my audience. They were shown to have liked the "alien" font for the band name, as well as the more rebellious and grungy fonts for the rest of the magazine. However, as this also ties in with the upside down text, perhaps I should have chosen an easier to read font, to avoid confusion.

The colour scheme I chose to follow is a grungy, moody one. That said, my audience research suggests that it could have done with more colour throughout. This shows that while my magazine was aiming for a rebellious or rough look, more colour would have caught the attention of my audience more so.
From my audience research I can see that they both liked my layout, but also found the upside text confusing. This shows that while it could establish its own convention, it does not follow standard conventions. As the genre I chose was rebellious, I followed this through by not using standard conventions, especially on my front cover. The overall layout was praised and easy to read, except for the upside down text, partially due to the font used for it.

The pictures were used as I believed them to be appropriate, mainly due to the fact they feature older teens, the key demographic. While they covered the right people, it was said how one of the models was hidden partially. This shows that the main models, especially on the cover, need to be presented well.

My audience research shows that it was read in a preferred reading, which shows that despite its flaws, it suited the genre for most of the part. The style of using two pictures for my front cover was also highlighted as being a bit more unique.

While I think my magazine could of been better, I think the use of grungy backgrounds, rough looking fonts, and the spacing of the text.
