How did you attract/address your audience?

I did a lot of research into various magazines and artists to help me address my audience. I knew from the start that I wanted to photograph the model used, Trinity, as she has a very indie rock look, but I knew she would work with the camera, and be great at putting her own twist on photo ideas I gave her. I researched the band The Pretty Reckless and the lead singer of the band Taylor Momsen, and used the information I found to help me recreate photo shoots Taylor and the band had previously done, I did this so the audience could identify with my band profile but also found it extremely helpful in making my photos aesthetically pleasing. I also spent a lot of time looking into my fonts that I feel would work well with my pictures and my magazine, I finally chose three from dafont.com called ’Edition’ ’Ecolier’ and ’halo hand letter’. I chose these as they were all different, but worked very well together. After I did my first draft of my pages of my magazine, I did a questionnaire on 40 people on how they felt the magazine worked, if they’d buy it and if it was priced well, I felt this really helped me make my final changes to my magazine.
