A reason for my target audience buying and subscribing to my magazine would be because of the demographics matching and suiting the influences already set upon the genre of the target audience, for example dark colours, certain sense of humor, slack laid back but informative text etc.

Attracted audience and branding similar to that placed in the media kit, relative to the theme of the magazine and the target audience too

Addressing an Audience

Technologies

Camera - For my images I chose to use a DSLR camera, a camera that despite being of a compact size and design can capture good quality images, key when creating a magazine where the quality of the image is the key to creating a neat, non pixelated final product.

Lighting - Lighting wise, I chose to use the studio lights, large on a stand they generate a false but well lit environment to take images. I also used natural light outside as well as a dim conventional bulb for the garage shot as garage music is the focus of my magazine.

PC Work Station - To produce and process the images text and everything else going into the magazine I used a PC desktop computer with relatively good specifications, giving the power to create the magazine along with various software as explained below.

Photoshop - And its tools such as cropping, creating images, lasso and other selection tools, colouring, filtering, effects and much more allowed me to generate a quality design and finish to my magazine and its contents.

Microsoft Office - The staple for word processing, evaluating and relaying research information onto my blog, with the help of online softare as mentioned below.

Prezi - The online PowerPoint alternative allows work to be directly embedded into my blog, handy for the evaluation tasks that have quite a few individual points to make and easier than paragraphing.

Flipsnack - An online PDF formatter, makes boring PDFs into a nifty flippable book style reading format and can embed directly into the blog similar to Prezi.

Survey Monkey - Used to conduct my surveys and send them via email and link to generate key information such as target audience and other magazine aiding information and data.
