Image 5 text says: I used some of the conventions of other successful indie magazines, including a simple layout for each page, and pictures that are typical of my genre (angles, filters, backgrounds).
A way I aimed to attract and appeal to my audience was by deliberately not including features that would make my magazine seem over-commercialised, as if it is trying too hard to sell itself to the viewer. Adding familiar symbols of social networks and writing 'Follow us on Twitter!!!' would have done this, so instead I only included the magazine's website address in the bottom corner of each page, branding each page without demanding attention from readers on social networks. I did this in hopes that it would make my magazine seem refreshing, and not 'just another music magazine', full of clichés etc.
I think my language use would also appeal to my young audience. My language register is informal, which naturally makes it more entertaining so they would enjoy reading it more than other magazines of the same genre. It also creates a more friendly tone. I have used colloquialisms and slang to further appeal to my intended audience as they are language features commonly associated with being included in their sociolect.
