I also use a fairly typical rock colour theme in the magazine, black, white and red. Some of my images i have just faded so they still have some form of colour but its very low level, this sort of fading i usually see in alternative music magazines so i though that would show that 'alternative' side I'm trying to put in there better than other things I could think of. ]]> 2017-05-02 12:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/p11halle/m5dhri0iz14t/wish/169399416 p11halle https://padlet.com/p11halle/m5dhri0iz14t/wish/169408941 2017-05-02 13:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/p11halle/m5dhri0iz14t/wish/169408941 p11halle https://padlet.com/p11halle/m5dhri0iz14t/wish/169409114 2017-05-02 13:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/p11halle/m5dhri0iz14t/wish/169409114 p11halle https://padlet.com/p11halle/m5dhri0iz14t/wish/169409199 2017-05-02 13:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/p11halle/m5dhri0iz14t/wish/169409199 p11halle https://padlet.com/p11halle/m5dhri0iz14t/wish/169411495 In order to find how i would address my audience i had to do research to find what genre i was looking at doing at work from there to find out how i would be addressing the readers. for example if I went for a more pop themed magazine i would choose to use casual language but no swear words, and not too much slang as my audience would probably be much younger. but because i have done a Rock and Alternative magazine i can use casual/informal language and swear words even though i have chosen not to.
This was also helpful to how i would attract my audience, using pop as an example again, i would've gone for brighter colours and brighter images, the fonts i used would be less bold and id have a different style for where my writing would be. but because I've gone with rock/alternative as a genre I've chosen much darker colours and bolder text and more muted photos]]> 2017-05-02 13:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/p11halle/m5dhri0iz14t/wish/169411495 p11halle https://padlet.com/p11halle/m5dhri0iz14t/wish/169421334 A way I have been able to address my audience is through the images i have used, by making megan look into the camera it gives a personal touch and makes the reader think they're closer to the person in the picture than they are
The title of my magazine is relevant to the rock theme I have given to my magazine. I struggled to find a name for a while because i wanted something with a bit of meaning behind it, which '1931' does. It's the year the electric guitar was invented, and because thats such a significant part of rock i thought it fit in very well. 
When discussing things in my magazine I have used a small amount of direct mode of address. at the end of the interview on my double page spread I wrote "You can also check out some of paramours newest music from their album brand-new eyes" this is to help make a more personal connection with the reader because it makes it feel like you're speaking to them personally.]]> 2017-05-02 13:50:52 UTC https://padlet.com/p11halle/m5dhri0iz14t/wish/169421334
