The document discusses the design choices for a summer magazine targeting a younger audience. For the front cover, the author has included pictures of pop artists like One Direction and Tulisa to appeal to younger readers. Bright colors like blue, yellow, red, orange and pink are used since they are associated with summer. The layout is informal with cluttered pictures and articles to avoid looking too sophisticated. A quirky font is chosen to appeal to youth. The contents page will mirror the front cover design for consistency. For double page spreads, the main image and quote need to stand out using an eye-catching, funky font.

MAGAZINE DRAFTING

2. FRONT COVER
First of all, I think that a summer
magazine in general would attract a
younger audience . Also I think that
the articles and pictures I have
included down the sides of the
magazine are related to a younger
target audience as they include
artists such as one direction and
Tulisa who are recognisable pop
artists. I think that the main image
is quite a standout image which will
catch the audiences eye because
its quite big and central. Also I think
the layout of the magazine is quite
simple and would appeal to the
audience.
The Colours I will have on this
front cover will consist of Blue,
Yellow, Red, Orange, Pink. All
of these colours are
associated with summer so
therefore would attract a
younger audience.
With the layout of the
magazine I will make it a kind
of informal presentation so
that the pictures and articles
are cluttered and spread
about so that it doesn’t look
complicated and sophisticated
like an adult magazine as that
wouldn’t appeal to my target
audience. Also I will use quite
a qwerky and funky font so
that it appeals to the younger
audience.

3. CONTENTS PAGE
The contents page will have the same
kind of format and layout to the front
cover as I would like to keep the
arrangement and colours the same. The
font will be the same as the font on the
front cover and also the layout will be kind
of messy and informal as I think that will
appeal more to my target audience and
also as I am working in a group we will
have to stick to the same house style.

4. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
With the double page spread I
think that the main image is the
main area that I need to focus
on as I think it needs to be very
stand out in order to catch the
audiences eye. I also think the
main quote on the page will
have to be eye catching. To do
this I think I will have to find
quite a ‘funky’ font and one that
will appeal to the target
audience.
