Question 2
2. • The image used on my front cover is of
an attractive 21 year old up and coming
solo indie-pop artist. This would appeal
to an extremely wide audience, those
with indie music tastes, and those with
pop, and then females who will look up
to Rosie McCarthy as a role model and
fashion icon and males who will look at
her for her attractiveness as well as her
talent, etc.
• It is evident through this front cover that
success in music is not only down to
talent, but the personality and looks of
a person, which in most cases can both
only make the individual more
successful.
3. • On all aspects of my magazine, I
decided to have a reoccurring
theme, so my front cover, contents
page and double page spread all
coincided with one another
effectively.
• I chose to do this by adding a
dotted faded out light effect to my
magazine. I got this inspiration
from a vintage fashion magazine
names ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ who
used a polka dot background on a
particular issue, and I wanted to try
and recreate that, but in a way
linked to music, still keeping a
more feminine sense to my
magazine at the same time, hence
how I came up with the idea of
dots, which acted as lights (as the
adjacent arrows indicate).
4. • My magazine fits the target audience
I intended it for which was
predominantly females. However, my
contents page is unisex and can
definitely reach out to both males
and females. With the charcoal/grey
colours and the black and white
pictures it isn’t gender orientated.
• I used a plain background so the
dotted lights and glows would be
more prominent and stand out a lot
more, it also fits in with my quite
simplistic shabby theme and indie-
pop music genre.
• Furthermore, my magazine age
range is for people aged 16-30, so
being the a younger generation I
have made the magazine £2.49 as
people of that age aren’t as willing
and likely to spent more then that on
a magazine.
