Evaluation - How did you attract/address your audience?

Referring back to my previous answer, I think I have attracted and addressed my audience well.
Firstly, the colour theme throughout my whole magazine is very consistent which helps attract the audience. By having a dark background and bright yellow, white and red writing it really stands out and attracts the audience. I think the pictures I have also used throughout my magazine are good as there is a variety of them and also by editing my pictures, I have made them look more interesting and appealing. The language I have used throughout was very important too, I chose to use a language which was not formal however was not 'slang', so I found a balance between the both which has also attracted and addressed the audience.
Front cover- I chose my sub headings well as I made sure they were to the point and striking due to the colour and font (easy to read). I'm hoping this will make the readers want to read the articles inside the magazine.
Contents Page- I made it clear that it was the contents page but stating that at the top of the page, like examples of real media products I looked at. This addresses the audience well. By putting the contents of the magazine under headings with page numbers next to them, this addresses the audience well. The layout is also very simple and easy to read, the short paragraph I have included about the main cover story attracts the audience to read the full article. I also put in red letters 'See more on pages 22 - 23'.
Double page spread- The pictures I have used are very appealing to the audience as I edited them. The whole article is addressing the audience about questions they might wish to know about 'The Olivers'. I made sure the questions I asked were similar to those in a real magazine to attract the audience.
So all of the above are ways in which I think I attracted and addressed my audience.
