2. Cover Page The word exclusive also attracts the audience to my
magazine, this is because it means that the reader will be
getting something that you can’t get anywhere else. This is a
reason to buy the magazine and to draw them in as they feel
that they are getting something really good that they cannot get
in another magazine, this makes them want to buy the
magazine so that they can read the exclusive article.

was through competitions, also saying the
word 'you' addressed the reader of the
magazine making them feel like they are
being directly addressed by the magazine.
This drew them in as it means that they
can do something. Also the competitions
and prizes to be won drew the readers in
as they wanted to have a chance of
winning prizes that they would like. The bands and artists that are featured on
the contents page are popular with my
target market and would be people that they
listen to on their iPods, this would attract
them to reading the magazine as they are
popular with them and they will want to find
out information about them. All of the names
that are featured on the contents page will
be names that the reader will be familiar
with, this will draw the reader in and want
them to read through the magazine as they
know that there is information on stars that
they like.
A feature that would attract the audience to
my magazine would be the fashion
section, this would attract people to my
magazine as they would want to find out
what clothes their favourite artists and
bands are wearing so that they can follow
their fashion. This section of the magazine
would be something that catch the ye of
the reader.
4. Double Page Spread
On the double page spread the pull quote that I used can be used to
interest and attract the reader, this is because the quote draws the
attention of the reader as it is larger font. The pull quote gives the
reader an idea of what the article will be about, this will make the reader
want to read on as they will be interested about what has been said in
the article.
