The designer has chosen to have Nicky

spread to give the whole page a sexy
look.
Pull Quotes

easy for the audience
to understand.
The use of the pink
highlighter on Nicky’s
quotes attract the
reader.
The background fits in with what
Nicky is wearing and it also helps
her to stand out.
The bold text
to present the
models name
is the biggest
attraction
other than
the model
herself. This
font stands
out to the
audience and
makes a
statement.
The colour pink dominates the double
page spread and also helps the reader
to identify the genre of the magazine,
as it is stereotypically a female pop
magazine.
Nicky is wearing jewelry that is full of colour, this
draws attention to her and helps her to stand out, as
the jewelry is not mainstream. She also appears to be
wearing a large ring that reads ‘icon’, this suggests
that Nicky is confident in herself and its also ironic.

5. • For my front cover I will have an eye catching masthead that’s attractive to
the reader. I will also have a main image that takes over about 50% of the
page, I will use pull quotes also to help sell the magazine.
• For my contents page I will use serif to attract the readers eye, I will also
use pull quotes to make sure the reader wants to read on. I’ll also use
colour to help distinguish different titles for the reader.
• Finally on my double page spread, I will have my models image covering
just over 50% of the page, he/she will be wearing something eye catching
and it has to be entertaining for the viewer. I will also use bright bold text
and an attractive masthead so the reader is intrigued.
