It is import to address the audience in the most suitable way according to their age range and interests, and since, for my magazine this included teenage girls, I seemingly used a chatty and light tone of voice throughout the magazine, with the use of ‘up to date slang’ and reference to celebrities. By looking at my mood board, it is obvious that the tone would have to be very informal, light and happy, in order to make the magazine easy to read- something to allow teenagers to have a break from exam stress and parents, and just to relax with some easy reading. The magazine is fairly bold, with a bright pink masthead, to match its name, with yellow, blue, black and white, supporting the idea of a bold and bright, yet still girly, theme. The use of subjective images, attracts the reader since they are welcoming, and ‘happy’, following the tone that I would hope would reflect throughout the magazine. Here are some annotations of the features of each magazine page, that represents how they attract and address the audience.

In a conclusion to these points, it is key to relate to the audience, so that they feel like a part of the magazine, and not just another reader, and I feel that this could reflect on to be the unique selling point of Pink - to make every reader feel included.
In order to make sure that each element of this was suitable, I constantly asked for feedback from my peers and my teacher, to see whether the language and images used were acceptable for the audience, and would allow them to relate to this age range. I acted upon this feedback, to then adapt my magazine, so that it was at its best, and appropriate for my target audience.
