Evaluation Q5: 5. How did you attract/address your audience? How did audience feedback help you to make important decision?

I used the results from my Questionnaire to help me to know what the popular choices my audience chose, this would help to produce my magazine based on what the public wanted. I attracted my audience by using colours such as 'orange' to grab their attention. This was important as when the magazine is on the shop shelf surrounded by similar products it is vital that my magazine would stand out over the rest. I also placed my masthead at the top of my magazine so that it was easily visible to my target audience. I also used superlatives on my magazine. Superlatives are signs or symbols that attract the consumer to the magazine, for example 'NEW' or ‘WIN’ these immediately make the magazine look interesting, therefore I used a pug feature on my magazine cover. The audience feedback is very crucial in order for me to make important decisions as it would help me include things that would only appeal and attract my audience, and that they wanted as having what the public want will help me make it sell successfully. All together I have successfully addressed and attracted my targeted audience. 

Evaluation Q4: Who would be the audience for your media product?

My target audience is for males and females ageing from teenagers to there 30’s. The reason I have targeted this age of both genders is because Bhangra is highly popular for that age range and it attracts both genders. I chose to do an Asian magazine as my questionnaire showed me that Bhangra was the most popular choice so that was the genre and target audience. I also incorporated a famous Bhangra singer, H-Dhami who famously known for singing, that was the Pug feature for the magazine cover, which would target mainly females to buy the magazine as he has a lot of female fans, which would also act as an incentive to buy the magazine so they would be more interested.

Evaluation Q3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Evaluation Q2: How does my media product represent particular social groups?

My magazine represents a particular social group of young males and females. Bhangra is for all ages for Asian people, but is highly popular for younger males and females. The age can range from teenagers to adults in there 30’s. On my cover the main image, which is the background is a group of young males playing the dhol to Bhangra music. Also the pug I included to win tickets to a H-Dhami concert that has a lot of females fan is targeted towards young females. The image I have used on the contents page is of a festival, which a mostly young Males and females attend, that also represents the social group that I targeted and have successfully achieved it.
