Evaluation - How Did You Attract/Address Your Audience?

- I address my target audience by making and submitting a questionnaire before making my magazine so that I could include everything that they wanted in one music magazine.
- Below is the questionnaire I submitted to 15 people aged between 15-21:

- Also in my article, I used short paragraphs and short sentences and informal language to keep them interested in the article itself and this language it what appeals to teenagers and makes the magazine seem more friendly and shows that it is aimed at their age group.
