2. Coverlines
On some of the coverlines, I have included a
rhetorical question which makes the reader
start to think about what has been asked. In
some cases, this will make the reader find the
article and read it to find out the answer. This
is a technique that will help to increase sales of
the magazine. Secondly, by using two different
colours for my coverlines, it helps the name of
the artist or article stand out which may catch
a readers attention when passing in a shop.
3. Colour
Secondly, the bright pink that I included will
catch potential readers attention when in
shops as it is such a vibrant colour. Also
many other magazines use less muted
colours or red in their colour scheme which
will make my magazine stand out even
more. However, the colour also links to the
feminine feel that I was trying to achieve.
4. Images
The images that I have chosen are
of a similar person that I expect to
read the magazine. This allows the
reader to be inspired by the images
as well as engaging and feeling
involved with the artists included.
This can give the impression that a
synthetic personalization is being
created by as it makes the reader
feel a part and have a relationship
with the artist.
5. Title
The font that I used for the title of my
magazine is not one you would associate with
magazines. I feel this will make it stand out
from other alternative magazines in this genre
which will attract readers attention. I also feel
the font gives a feminine feel to the magazine
which was what I was trying to achieve.
6. Content
The content of the magazine,
especially the topics of the
coverlines I ensured were of the
interest of the target audience. By
having topics that are of the
interest of the audience, it may
persuade potential readers to buy
the magazine if they see that there
will be an article featured that
includes an artist or a topic that
they want to read about.
7. Body copy
The language used for my body copy
I feel was appropriate and suitable
for my target audience. The register
was quite relaxed, yet of a level that
doesn’t insult their intelligence. The
subject of the article is of one that
will appeal to the audience due to the
artist being within the genre of the
magazine, and of a similar age to the
readers. I feel that a number of the
features I included in my double
page spread such as the pull quote,
the large drop cap and the images
will allow the audiences to be
attracted.
