Evaluation: Audience



The audience was meant to be teenagers 13-20, people described as 'dozers or 'care free' like myself. But to conclude i have found my magazine is not fit for this audience. My magazine was hardly a successes, i have not spend enough time editing the photos, taking photos, working on the writing, researching both other magazines and my audience. My audience in detail was going to be people wanting or ready for change, i wanted to create a new kind of magazine offering self esteem and other needs. But this has not work. My audience don't like the magazine it looks tacky and the colours don't fit the genre of the magazine. Also the photograph lacks effects and adds the unfinished touch. They will be into rock, games and doing what they feel like. They may be unemployed, still in education, higher education (university or college), or part/full time employed. This means in the A,B,C ranking they dont realy fit. Their favourite TV shows would be generally comedies (such as 'Friends' and 'Mock the Week'. Meaning the main focus would be males, as it is about what boys typicly like, games and music. Their hobbies would be playing games or and intrument (mainly guitar). They would be into clothing such a 'No Fear' and 'Animale'. My target audience will be into going out with friends to cinemas or just generally hanging out.

Evaluation:Another magazine


Kerrang! is a rock music magazine. The magazines name is onomatopoeic and it refers to the sound made when playing a power chord on an electric guitar
The mast head 'KERRANG!' is situated at the very top of the magazine cover, the black and white monochromatic contrasting colours stand out against each other therefore it would be eye-catching against other magazines on a shop stand, the image has the appearance and effect of cracked glass therefore adding to it's rock theme.

What my magazine does similarly is that Minim is a name of a note. Also the genre of music is the same 'Rock'. The colours are completely different, main are more in your face, it does not blend like Kerrang. Also my magazine lacks advertisement and plus adds of what is inside the magazine. I also feel the front page image needs more work, it lacks effects and is too large. It takes up to much room and does not allow any rule of thirds.
