How did I attract/address your audience?

I believe what would make my audience want to buy my magazine, is by whats in the magazine.
As I saw from the two magazines FHM and Music, the fonts, the layout and the colours were pretty much the same. So I tried to use that in my magazine, by using the simple colouring of black and white and just using simple sans serif text. Also the dark colours for the backgrounds of the front cover and the contents page. From the pictures that I saw in FHM, the moods of some of the models were a bit like they dont give a damn what people think of them. They wernt smiling, there arms were folded and acted like a bit of a lombard. Also actually used bad language in the magazine.
But despite that, some people actually like to see that in a magazine as it comes across them as humor, which everyone loves a bit of humor, but in many forms. The colours of the magazine shows the kind the side of the magazine, so like the colours, black and white, connotates hatred, contempt, hostility, death perhaps. Which shows pretty much what FHM and many rock music is all about now a days. On my front cover though, its kind of different. The colours are the same pretty much, still dark and bland, but just has a bit more colour in it, mostly in the background. Cause I really wanted to make the magazine different to others. The picture of one of my mates on the front cover is different to whats was in FHM. But most rock band singer people as i said before are a bit of a bighead when it comes to them being in magazines and having there picture taken, but makes them look cool to some people. So I took a picture of my mate to make people think that he is the best singer in the world, if he was one. Because of what he is doing aswell will attract people to buy it aswell, as it catch the eye of people. The hair and what he is wearing aswell shows that he is a type of rocker.
