2. The main title is all in capital letters. This is a good
way to make it stand out and noticeable. Also it is a
bold colour of red which is eye-catching.
The main image is of a man holding a guitar and looking
longingly into the distance. The majority of the image is
made up of the guitar, as it is an iconic image of country
music. The reason for the use of the guitar is to make the
genre of the magazine know after just once glance at the
cover.
A technique that this magazine has used is little anchorage. This is to not draw
away any attention from the singer and his iconic guitar .
3. The colour scheme is bright and light colours. This shows
it is a light hearted magazine. The yellow of the main title
is compliment by the light blue background. Also the
lighting from the back of the image makes it look like the
blue is the sky and the light is the sun.
To go with the light hearted theme, the image has
a genuine smile that lights up the page. It lets you
know that this magazine isn’t about a serious topic
but something fun and entertaining.
The anchorage style used has kept to one side. This is to not take away any limelight from
the main image herself as it is so happy and clean.
4. The fact that the name Elvis is not only in
capitals but also above the main title shows
that he is very important.
Even though Elvis has his back to the front, we still
know who he is and what he does. The shows that
he has become very iconic to a genre, that we don’t
need to see a front view of him to know what that
genre is.
The anchorage is minimal and is a maximum of 3 words a line. This gives the few words
emphasis making the reader more excited to know what the magazine hold as the anchorage
has only given away little but attractive knowledge.

6. The target audience for my magazine will be male and females between the ages of 15-60.
This is because there are artists such as Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood that attract the
younger females, and then you have artists such as, Hank Snow, Dolly Parton and the
Dixie Chicks for the older audience.
People like Taylor Swift and Luke Bryan are bringing in a younger crowd but the older
audience will always be supported as country music has been around for a long time.
