Cover
With the cover I have used a vibrant
colour to help make my magazine
look more appealing, it is also part of
the house style. However I haven’t
overused the vibrant colours, so it
appeals to my target audience of
young adults (15 – 25). I’ve used a
sans serif font so that it appeals to the
audience and an intriguing
background to make the magazine
stand out. I’ve featured the barcode
and the issue in the bottom right so
they’re easily spotted and easily
accessible. I’ve also featured a flash
that makes the price of the magazine
stand out amongst the rest of the
magazine. The footer also features a
general outline of the issue and the
contents of the magazine.

Contents
For the contents I’ve tried to get a
variety of images which break
up the text to make the
contents look more appealing.
I’ve also stuck with the house
style by using colours like
orange, black, yellow and
white. I’ve also put an
introduction to the magazine in
the contents like many real
magazines have like ‘Kerrang’
and ‘rock sound’. I’ve also
included a header and footer
which gives the reader a
general view of certain aspects
within the genre, e.g. festivals
and artists.
