How did you attract/address your audience?

I attracted my audience by having real recognisable artist names on my front cover as like this people will know about some of the artists and could be more interested to see how they feature on my magazine. I've also included real issues such as artists versing each other in the front cover of my magazine. I thought this would be good as it could make my audience engaged wanting to know more about the issues and buy the magazine as a result!
