How did you attract/ address your audience?

To attract our audience we used large fonts and bright colours so our magazine stood out from the others. We used the colours yellow, purple and red which worked very well together. The clever puns on the movie titles are eye catching and the information the sell lines consist of address the student audience. The puns would make people stop, read and infer to understand where the pun is taken from- this, we hoped, would encourage people to buy the magazine.

The main picture on the front cover of the magazine of students in the park, again, helps to attract the required target audience as it states who the magazine is aimed at. If we used a picture of elderly people, clearly we would not be attracting our specific audience.

The words 'SEX', 'MARIJUANA' and 'COMMON ROOM' which are embedded in the text on the front cover draw the reader in as these are issues which sixth formers would be interested in.
The title of the magazine, 'Fast Times at Camden High' specifically addresses our school as it is again, a pun of the famous movie, 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' which many teens would have seen. Also, the word 'Fast' connotes something exciting, exhilarating and extreme- positive words which we hope will draw in an audience.
