Final Magazine Evaluation

My group's magazine is similar to  professional magazines by looking realistic as if a professional company made the magazine for us. The magazine is also original by having pictures that no one else have. Our peers magazines is good but it is not high quality because they have no originality in their pictures. However, it still look nice but my group's magazine is professional. What makes my group's magazine attractive is the cover, picture, titles on the cover as well as spread which pulls in our audience and the color scheme. The attention grabbing techniques I used is picking a picture in which I adding a shade and a butterfly with different color on the picture to show originality. Advertising techniques that I used is adding a poem to convey a message about how the woman is working so hard to maintain her figure. These techniques are effective because we targeted our audience really loves us for our work and it makes them what to read it. The written texts are exciting as well as the whole article.

It was effective in developing our ideas by inspiring us to collate their comments in our magazine.

Methods of Persuasion

Testimonial

Appearance and Sexuality

Similarity

Informational Advertising

Indirect Persuasion

1) The methods of persuasion that is more effective for teens consumerism is appearances and sexuality every teenager want to be cool and look beautiful. When they see some one that is beautiful it persuades them to buy the product because they want to be just like the person who is selling it to them. Teens also have low self of stem in which they would consume a product that identify them as beautiful.

2) The least effective method of persuasion is informational advertisement. It is less responsive because no one want to read or analyze the article in order to understand or find the product that they are advertising. Teens are looking for excited and fresh trends that inspires them.
