This document summarizes the key elements of a magazine designed for teenagers ages 14-19. The front cover uses a dark color scheme of red, white, and black to appeal to both male and female readers. It includes the magazine title, price of £3.25, and a shortened web address. The contents page lists 7 headlines to entice readers and one uses a rhetorical question. The double page spread features an interview with an 18-year-old female singer to particularly engage female readers who can relate to her.
4. FRONT COVER
The magazine is made for 14-19 years olds. I
chose this range because after my magazine
research that I did at the beginning of my task, I
found out that these ages buy magazines most
often compared to adults and younger children.
My magazine is aimed at both females and males
for the reason that I didn’t want my magazine to
be biased. Aiming the magazine at both genders,
gives me a wider and bigger audience to attract.
The colour scheme is quite dark to draw in the
male type, being red, white an black. Females still
buy a magazine with these colours, however a
most males would never buy a magazine if it was
pink.
To draw in the teenage females I have the front
5. The price is £3.25. I believe this is a
reasonable price for 14-19 years and a good
price for the amount of content inside. The
reason behind this price is that I took into
count what teenagers are doing during this
stage of their life. Most teenagers in this
age range earn money by either working part
time, getting pocket money or just by doing
simple chores around the house.
They love to know what the latest news and
gossip is and are all into music. I have made
up my own web address so that the audience
have better access to the newest
information and music charts that ‘Replay’
upload and know about.
The black bar at the top of the front cover
page contains a shortened word, ‘vid’ to link
with their shortened and quick abbreviations
6. CONTENTS PAGE
I have given seven short headers to tease the
audience into wanting to know the whole
story, buying the magazine and reading on.
One of these headers is a rhetorical question,
‘Guess whose joining ‘The Boyz’’. This was at
first going to be my double page spread story,
making Josh join Jacob and Joe. However this
idea changed when I preferred another
photo, of Shannon.
I have kept the same colour scheme as the
front cover, a dark grey gradient background
and the red, and black.
7. DOUBLE PAGE
SPREAD
This page is mostly aimed at
females. The reason is
because it is all about a
female singer. She is 18 years
old, so the same age as the
audience, meaning they can
relate to her in some way.
The story is about an
interview that Kelly Warrick
is doing to Laura Halo. She
has had time off and now we
as an audience want to know
why she is back and where
