This magazine is targeted at a male audience who are interested in
motorbikes, speed and danger. The front cover photo reflects the font colour
scheme of white, red, black and yellow, which are very masculine colours. The
shot is a high-energy action shot which captures the interest of the target
audience. There is very little white space on this cover, which suggests the
magazine is full of content. This also reminisces the target audience’s
lifestyle and what they want from a motorbike “busy, fast, need for
speed". There are images of a wide range of motorbike to attract all
types of men and of all ages. The bottom right hand corner motorbikes are in
the foreground with a plain grey background thesis to attract the more
sophisticated man who enjoys a more classical bike. To the left of the cover
photo there is a NR Honda, which attracts the more manly man who longs for
need for speed and who is more interested in things such as the MotoFGP
racing. Last but not least in the top right hand corner there is a Ktm 690
duke bike which attracts a younger audience. The man presented in this
magazine show the ideal bike rider but also features the everyday man.
How have the articles been crafted to hit this target audience?
Most of the articles have a title that suggest speed, danger, thrills
and demanding statements. The reader of this magazine have to be able to
relate to this magazine but not only that it also has to contain images and
articles which discuss bikes well out of their price range because as we know
men always have to know more and enjoy showing off their knowledge. Each
article has small text which the reoccurring bold splash writing, headline or
quote but most of the page is taken up by at least 2-3 action pictures to
attract the reader. This suggests the target audience has a short attention
span and have to be intrigued by photograph in order to grab their attention.
The articles are split into three categories the younger dirt biker, the
middle age bike who enjoys speed and heavy body kitted bikes or classical
bikes and also the engineer/ consumer who are fishing for tips and ideas.
Most article are biased on tip of how to improve your bike and its speed
which suggests the consumers of this magazine are more interested in the
improvements of the bike than on the latest news and gossip.
How has the layout of this product been crafted to hit this TA?
The colour scheme of this magazine is mainly yellow, red, grey and
black very masculine colours which are clearly used to attract a male
audience. The main heading "Superbike" is a mixture between upper
and lowercase but is much bigger that the other text to be seen on this
covers and has been written in vibrant yellow. All other text to be seen on
the front cover is written in upper case which can suggest that the
information in this magazine is more important than the name of this
magazine. On the top half over the cover one can see it has a vibrant red
background. The writing on this section is slanted and is in the background
of the information around it. For example the "KMT 690DUKE bike "
is to be seen in the foreground and is over lapping the title. Bold black
writing is used for side headlines to draw in attention and encourage the
reader to buy this magazine. This Writing down the left side of the cover is
text wrapping the cover photo and decreases in size as it goes down the page. The splashes of
blue are used to stand out and attract the attention from a distance for
example on their shelves in shops. The shape made between the main Name of
the magazine the main picture and the clippet of photos in the bottom right
hand corner creates a Z. The clippet photos are in the fore ground and are
accompanies by a small clipet of information about the bike itself. The main
character on this cover is on a bike leaning to the side which portrays
danger, speed and fun which is aimed to attract those who enjoy the perks
motor bikes. Above the bottom right hand motorbike pictures there is a yellow
splash circle with the caption 'NEED MORE POWER SIR?" this is written in
Red bold capital letters and is a rhetorical question. All these factors
combined help attract a male macho audience who enjoy freedom speed and they
all have the same common interest. Motorbikes!
