Evaluation Task 5

there were many ways i attracted my audience trough my front cover, the first and most important i felt, was the image of the artist.  this is because if there is a boring old person on there nobody is going to be interested and so i wanted him to stand out and look the part.  the ways in which i did this were that i gave him the hat to wear in the position it is in to give him style as well as him holding open his jacket to reveal his T-shirt which had a colourful graphic on there which would attract peoples attention, i also had him give a serious face to show that he is a serious person and this would get the audience to possibly want to find out more about him and who is is.  for the masthead i used the large E of Elements to grab the attention of the audience as it pops out at them and this would then get them to see across the rest of the page at things like the cover lines and also the photo.  the cover lines i used include the names of some famous Hip-Hop artists and this is already a selling point as audiences would want to read about their favourites if they see their names being mentioned on the front cover.  as the fonts are simple and easy to read, and colours used are good contrast with each other, this lets the audience think that the magazine will get better and so they would be attracted to read more.

for my contents page the ways in which it attracts the audience is firstly, the colour scheme used on the page is similar to the front cover and so this already will have the reader interested as they will not be turning onto a page cpmpletely different which might put them off and so tey will want to read it.  there are again simple and easy to read fonts including, again, the artists mentioned on the fornt cover as well as many more and so the audience will then want to look up these artists in the magazine and read about them and to do this they will have to look either under the band index provided or under the heading 'Tis week'.  both of these parts of the contents page will attract the reader because they have a yellow font with a black background just like the title of the page and all of these three will attract the reader because they are bold, stand out and so will pull the attention of the reader towards them.  the photos used are put in boxes with what they are about and the page numbers they are on, in big yellow and black background, like the headings, and so the readers are attracted to these.  for the boxes of the photos the artists are covering part of the box and so this gives the image as if they are coming out at you and so this will attract readers as they will think it is a good style to use.

for my double page spread the things that attract the audience are, firstly the colour scheme once again has been used the same way as the front cover and contents page, showing continuity and so the readers will like this and think it has good similarities.  the artists name is in a big black font at the top centre of the page and so the audience will automatically be taken to this and then will know it is about this artist, under this is then the heading of the article in a bold yellow font which can easily be read and so the readers will read this and then want to read on as it has a metaphor which they will want to pick up on and wonder why it says this.  te colours for the article are black with a yellow background and so again will be easy to read, and then for when the artist is talking the font is in a red colour and this will again be easy to read against the yellow background but also the reader will then be easily shown when it is the artist talking and if they want can just skip the article and read only wat the artist is saying.  for the photo used it has the artist against a brick wall covering the whole page and the artist is on the left page and so this will be the forst thing the audience will see and so they will see the picture and the position the artist is in and want to read about him more as his stance is attractive and could give out different signals which the reader would want to find out about.  there is then a quote inbetween the article and the artist and this attracts the reader as it is big and bold and starts and finishes with big speech marks which the readers will think is clever and the quote itself will make the reader want to read the article as it will intise them as to what they can read about and who this artist is if they do not already know.
