The target audience for the music magazine is older teens and young adults who enjoy rock and indie music. The front cover aims to attract this audience by featuring a "cool" young rock artist and headlines about well-known rock artists to entice readers. The cover line "the top new rock magazine" directly advertises the magazine to rock fans, while mentioning a popular artist like Ed Sheeran helps attract his broad fanbase. The contents page uses simple headlines and brief descriptions so readers can easily see if articles interest them. The sample article is in a question and answer format for easy reading and uses language the target audience would understand, without slang or swearing.

DO I EXPECT TO BUY MY MUSIC MAGAZINE

3. HOWDID I ATTRACT MY TARGET AUDIENCE TO MY MUSIC MAGAZINE
The front cover is what the audience will be
attracted to, therefore is used a picture of a ‘cool’
rock girl who is this new rock artist, having someone
who is around there age- with my target audience
being older teens and young adults- this will attract
them to want to read my magazine. I have also
included lots of different rock artists which are very
well known for the cover lines so then they want to
read about there lives as well.
For my front cover I used ‘the top new rock
magazine’ this will immediately attract rock fans.
The subheading for ‘Meg McLean’ -‘touring with Ed
Sheeran was the best thing that ever happened to
me’ Ed Sheeran isnt exactly a rock artist but he has
different range of fans, therefore will be a popular
artist for my music magazine cover, and a lot of
other covers. The language I used in this was
interesting and will attract old teens and younger
adults will be.
Front Cover

4. Contents Page
For the contents page I used simple
headlines, with just the artist name, I did a
brief description of what's going to be on the
page so the audience know what to expect
and think if they want to read it or not.

5. For the article I used a question and
answer. Thinking about my target
audience this would be easy for them
to read and more likely want to read it.
I used the type of language they
would be used to, it is more formal
than informal, I didn’t use slang or
swear words. In the article she talks
about social networking sites which
this age group know of.
