7. •For the front cover of our magazine we
decided to use TV easy’s layout and bright
colours we wanted it to be cheap and easily
accessible.
•We wanted to make the front cover
entertaining and informative but to use the
colours to get attention and entertain.
•Our magazine is aimed at 16-24 yr olds as
the soaps used on the front cover are also
aimed at 16-24 yr olds and appeal to them.
•The coloured tabs show how you can easily
navigate your way through the magazine, this
shows the simplicity and how easy and quick
it is to access what you want.
•We challenged an important convention by
the main cover star making eye contact which
is engaging the audience/reader.
