My Front Cover Cheaper price than most magazines- £2.00 an issue Bright colours – coral pink and turquoise stand out off black and white image Competition for readers to win free gig tickets as well as free posters to all readers = unique selling point and persuasive.

White text on black background lifts the writing off the page and makes it more prominent. I used a simple layout to my contents page in order not to make it too complicated for readers, I tried to include enough content without making it too cluttered and all the features to clash. I followed the same colours as on the front cover such as the coral pink, black and white and bright blue, creating continuity for the readers to become associated with my magazine. Large white numbers on black boxes make the page numbers stand off the images, in order for the reader to find the page content quickly + the featured quotes for each image show a small aspect of the what the article will feature on the artists.
