Audience In Relation To Media
Knowing your audience may help you decide what information to include your magazine, how to organize it, and what kind of supporting details are required for the reader to understand what you're presenting. It also has an impact on the document's tone and organization. For instance, If you're writing a scientific or laboratory report for a science course, or a more extensive and detailed report of a larger research project as a graduation or postgraduate credit requirement, the instructor or examiner who will be assessing and grading your work will be your most immediate target audience. This person will almost probably be a professional who is fully capable of comprehending the procedures and concepts you describe, as well as any specialized language you employ, but clear and correct explanations will display your knowledge and understanding.
However, with a scientific magazine the audience can vary to a science geek to one who is trying to understand more about science. If the reader was a person trying to learn more about science then the magazine should include extensive detail; if the reader is a science geek then the magazine can include more information and less details, for example if I where to mention the cell theory in my magazine a science geek would immediately understand what a cell theory is, while someone new to science would need the definition.
For my magazine I am planning on focusing more on new comers to science; this would include more details, definitions, pictures, and graphs. Pictures similar to the ones above will be used throughout my magazine. These pictures are all highly detailed and contain colors that where mentioned in my previous post — the colors immediately bring the readers eyes to the center, with the exception of the black and grey picture. The black and grey picture will inform the reader on how a cell looks through a microscope, bringing back the realistic view to the magazine. As the audience flips through the magazine captions will help the reader determine what each cell part is and which cell is being presented whether this is a human cell or an animal cell.
I would like my magazine to include graphs and pictures like this (With the exception of all of these picture being fact checked and or provided by reliable sources) to keep the magazine nice and sleek. Using drawn cells lose the sleek look of the magazine and essentially end up losing the aesthetic.
