INTRODUCTIONThe main way that I attracted my

audience was by the front cover. The front cover is the first thing that the audience will see and will be attracted to. It needs to immediately draw the eye to the magazine and intrigue you. If the magazine is different from other magazines it will be more eye catching as the eye is drawn to anything unusual or out of place. By doing this with my magazine I am appealing to my target audience and making them won’t to read more about the magazine My magazine is a classic rock music magazine.

COVER MODELSThe cover models are referencing John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles. Fans of the band will immediately recognise this iconic pose and will be intrigued to know more. The clothes I choose were very smart and again modelled around classic rock and rock bands such as The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and artic monkey’s. They are staring directly at the camera and therefore this makes a connection with the reader as it can make them feel special or like that the cover models are asking them to read the magazine. They have very serious facial expressions so the reader knows that they are serious artists who want to have an impact on the music world. The black background reinforces this idea of a serious artist as it makes them seem mysterious and interesting

SELL LINESThe sell lines also help attract the

reader. This is because of the amount of bands spread across the front cover. At the side of the magazine we have all the interviews with huge worldwide bands. Then at the bottom of the magazine we have another section that has all the bands that will feature in the magazine. This helps attract a large audience as a have a broad selection of bands and artists to read about. There is also information about a competition prize. This can attract a lot of people depending on the prize. My prize is a very music related one so “die hard” fans will want this and therefore buy the magazine to enter.

SOCIAL NETWORKINGSociety is now driven by social

networking. Most people are on a social networking site and is now the thing today in the modern era. This is why I have made my magazine public on Facebook and Twitter two of the most popular social networking websites. This would appeal to a younger audience as they like up to date technology and forms of media. Older audiences who have not been subjected to the social media craze may not understand what the logo’s mean but it is mainly for the younger readers to use,
