2. The use of the photography on the front cover image was very direct , showing‘L Cookie 'looking
directly down the lens o the camera , this could be seen to Show that he is a fearless character an
faces problems face on and will not shy Away from issues. This would persuade my audience t o
buy the magazine because they would want to know the real ‘L Cookie’ and not assume he is as
fearless as his façade depicts him to be.
The cover lines would persuade my audience to buy my magazine , because firstly they stand out from
the magazine page , also because they say what that article is and also give a little description into
what the article is about but not to much but enough for my audience still to be interested and
would then buy the magazine.
3. The language used on these pages was standard English, with almost no colloquial language being use
except from the interview on the double page spread. Although the language used on my magazine pages
was of an articulate type and sometimes the language use would consist of technical terms the tone
maintained an informative and welcoming voice to appeal to the audience.
The font sizes also played a key role in attracting my audience , the reason for this is because different cover
lines where different sizes , this was shown on the front page , which could possibly be seen to shown the
importance of that cover line on that issue of the magazine.
The jewellery that ‘L Cookie’ was wearing were two Jesus pieces , this would help to attract my audience
because these pieces of jewellery are and were commonly wore by Hip-Hop icons and legends which could
foreshadow that ‘L Cookie 'will become a legend and this would attract my audience to want to know more
about him and read the magazine.
4. ‘L Cookie is also wearing a black and gold G-Shock watch , and a ralph Lauren polo shirt
which would attract my audience because it is a very casual look and it does not present
him as someone who thinks he is better than his audience but is just an average guy trying
to get rich from rapping which will appeal to my audience because he is just like them. His
hairstyle is also a very low fade to make him appear more professional and presentable.
The age of ‘L Cookie is 16 , and it is very common that the age of the person on my
magazine is around the same age of my magazine target audience , which would attract
my audience because they would be able to place themselves in the position of ‘L Cookie’
so what he says would p appeal to themselves.
40% of magazine purchases are also determined by the content on the front page , so I
made sure that took a good picture for the front cover photo , that the cover lines where
laid out clearly and relevant to the Hip-Hop industry.
