1. The image overlaps the masthead. Signifying that the company are over confident and popular. I gave the artist a guitar which represents the genre of music our magazine is based on. The escape gratification of being able to read about the top 20 top hits around and the utopian solution of boredom to excitement used with the promotional voucher both appeal to the target audience The copy ‘Exclusive’ shows that the magazine is popular and includes interviews nobody else has which can appeal to those who want to know the latest gossip first! The barcode, Issue number, price and date are all positioned together to keep the conventions of a music magazine. We used an uppercase masthead which sticks to the convention of a music magazine and helps project itself to the audience. Encourages the readers to buy the magazine as they receive a promotional product which they will see as being good value. The consumer will be intrigued to read about the interview as it includes the well known ‘Lucy Noels’ Entity journalist. The bold font anchors the image to show that she is important in this issue.
