3. In my final product when writing my cover lines I used ‘most
streamed songs’, ‘official UK top 100’, ‘battle of the bands’, ‘win
Glastonbury tickets’, ‘Saturday night gig styles’, ‘exclusive
interview’ and celebrities names. I used some of the ones that my
target audience suggested as they are what my target audience
would want to read about, however I also added some other ones
that I believe will be good on my front cover as they will attract
my target audience. There were also some cover lines that my
target audience suggested to use but I did not use them as I did
not think that they were necessary if I had others which were
better.
COVER LINES
4. I did not use any of the photos that I showed to my target
audience as I thought that I would take better ones once
receiving feedback from my target audience. They said that the
artist should have a happy facial expression so that it is more
appealing and welcoming. As well as this I would change the
outfit so that it matches the colour scheme. Some people in my
target audience said that I should use a musical instrument in
my pictures however I decided against this due to the fact that
the guitar made it seem as if it was a country genre magazine.
COVER PHOTOS
5. When conducting my feedback from my target audience I showed
them a sample of images to receive feedback on them. My target
audience said that they liked the fact that there was images of
shoes were used as it shows that there is a mixture of everything
and they also liked the pictures of people playing instruments
because it shows that it is a music magazine. However I decided
not to use any of the sample images that I showed to my target
audience due to the fact that when it came to producing my
contents page and double page spread these images did not look
right on the pages so I changed them to be of the artist that is
featured in the double page spread as I believe they look more
sophisticated and will attract my target audience in a better way.
CONTENTS PAGE AND DOUBLE
PAGE SPREAD PHOTOS
6. When speaking to my target audience, the most popular article
ideas that they liked were ' ___ vs ___, what artist is better’,
'Exclusive interview from ...’ and 'V Festival gossip’. The article
that I decided to use for my double page spread was , 'Exclusive
interview from ...’ , I used this one as I think it will attract more
people if they are interested in that specific artist. I also decided
to use this article as a lot of detail could be included as there is a
lot that can be spoken about in an interview as it really has no
limits.
