Evaluation question 5- How did you attract/address your audience?

Evaluation question 5 how did you attract/address your audience

Firstly, I`d liked to establish that my target audience was aimed at primarily teenagers and in this blog post I will talk abut how I attract/address my audience and how I did it. I will refer to the mise-en-scene of my media product

In my photos I used urban fashion to portray the genre of hip hop. The photo below is the fashion sense of a famous hip hop artist. my photo has a similar fashion style when compared to the celebrity. I used conventions from his costume in order to attract my target audience which is the same as the hip hop celebrity.

I used the colours black and white for most of the magazine. these two polar opposite colours are meant to reflect how teenagers can be bright, joyful and happy, whilst also be under stress,depression and despair at the same time. the colours represent the two sides to teenagers.

 I used images of people in the same age range so that my magazine would be more favourable and resulting in the magazine attracting my target audience. I included a picture of a concert, to teenagers it would usually be clearly identifiable that the picture is that of a concert but to other people for example a 40 year old man, they may find it difficult to identify. Although, my media product primarily consists of male photos, I did include some female ones as well so that it attracts the female fans of hip hop as well.

my mode of address in my article page, I used simplistic language brushed with  some sophistication. i did this because it makes my article more professional and also I examined other hip hop articles and tried to adapt their style. Indeed, my target audience are teenagers, so it wouldn't be reasonable for me to you highly sophisticated formal language, I made sure my writing and font were clearly readable and understandable.
