The document discusses how the magazine Highway to Country addressed and attracted its audience through design elements. The front cover uses a question as the title to pique curiosity and features an artist smiling and leaning forward to engage readers. Inside, the contents page uses orange and brown coloring consistent with the country music genre and features images and article names on the right side in a layout similar to other music magazines. Page numbers are blue to match the front cover title. A double page interview spread uses a traditional three-column text layout alongside images and colors the questions green and answers orange to clearly distinguish them while linking to design elements on the front cover and contents page.

1. How did you attract/ address
your audience?

2. On the front cover I used a
question for the name of my
main sell-line, this is because it
address the audience as well as
makes them curious as to who
Tasha is.
Also the artist in the main image
is leaning forward giving off the
impression that she is reaching
out for the audience and through
her facial expression, a smile, the
audience will attracted to her
and to know who she is.
Also the title is in blue making it
stand out and become noticeable
to the audience of the magazine.
This also attracts the attention of
the audience as most magazines
use a red or white for the name
of their magazine names.

3. On the contents page I used an
orange red colour for the heading
and a brown for the article names,
this is because it follows the colour
scheme and the genre of country
music.
I kept the article names on the right
side of the page leaving the left for
three images including the main
double page spread; on Tasha, the
covering artist; and the article
names to go with. This is similar to
other music magazine contents
pages such as Q and Nash. I used
this layout because it stands out to
the audience and also makes the
magazine unique due to the colour
scheme.
I chose to use blue for the page
numbers because it matches the
front cover headline and also
creates a symbiotic link between
the two pieces of work.

4. On the double page spread I
used a simple traditional layout
for an article, with three
columns for text and also
matched it with three images.
There are two on top left page
to introduce the article; which is
a interview with Tasha, the
covering artist. With the article
name covering the bottom of
both images. I used Nash’s
double page spread on Maddie
and Tae as inspiration, for my
interview double page spread.
The colour scheme on the double page spread is green and orange following the earthly
colours that Highway to Country has. This is attracting the audience because it shows where
each question starts and the answers are, as the questions are in green and Tasha’s answers
are written in an orange colour. The use of the orange shows the symbiotic link with the
contents page and the use of the same artist image shows the link to the front cover. The
article name is written in red to make it stand out and also show a link to the front cover
which has ‘Exclusive’ also written in red.
