The document discusses how the creator of a music magazine addressed and attracted their audience through design elements. Key points include:
- Using a consistent font throughout to make the magazine look professional and easy to read.
- Incorporating colors like red, white and blue to target a UK audience where much indie music originates.
- Including distant, edgy cover model photos and contest prizes to engage readers.
- Organizing content in a way that looks new but is still useful.
- Maintaining branding elements like impactful fonts and a red banner across pages.
- Using a three-column layout and section headings to help readers navigate efficiently.
- Continuing the red

5. Things that I would change:
● I would change the layout
of the double page spread
to be more interesting.
● The choice of pictures on
the contents page and
stuck to one main picture
which would be bolder and
more appealing.
● The editor's notes at the
bottom of the contents page
to a better layout to look
less rushed and blurry.
Things that could've gone better:
● The contents pages red
edited picture could have
looked nicer and been
bigger.
● The cutting out of the front
cover picture could of have
been sharper.
● The blurring on the double
page spreads picture could
be done again and to better
effect.
● The masthead could have
been more original.
● The plus arrow at the
bottom of the front cover
could've been done better
for a more interesting
effect.
Things I wish I used:
● I wish I used a different
layout to the current one on
the double page spread to
look better and more
appealing to the audience.
● I wish I used different
picture to the one I used on
the double page spread to
make it more striking and
less blurry and badly cut
out.
● I wish I took better
advantage of fonts used to
create a more interesting
magazine.
