front cover appealing, the sell lines, pull quotes from
celebrities. Using this information I will insert these on
to my front cover so it appeals to my target audience.
2. What cover lines would you like to see on a front
cover?Results show that my target audience has said
that the cover lines should relate to the main image,
cover lines about new songs, short cover lines which
appeal to the reader, Therefore I will use short cover
lines that relate to artist on the front cover and relate to
genre of music as this will make my magazine successful.

cover? Results show the target audience have said
power colours that are eye catching, colours depending
