2. FRONT COVER
To attract members of my target audience to my front cover so that they would want to purchase my magazine I have to use cover
lines so that members of my target audience would want to purchase my magazine. The way that cover lines would attract
members of my target audience because the stories and articles that are in my magazine. For example:
By including the well known band ‘Arctic Monkeys’
on my magazine cover as a main cover line, this
then may attract members of my audience.
I have chosen to include inside a free Music Guide inside which
includes the “Top 50 songs of 2013” this may attract younger readers
who are interested in listening to new music, which is associated with
the genre of the magazine.
I have also included incentives, which is free 1975
posters. As this band is well known and many of their
song are in the charts – and this band also fall under the
genre ‘Indie’ music.
The price of my magazine is fairly cheap because although
people may not want to pay ‘£3.99’ for it but it is quite cheap
considering the content.

This is a video of a member of my target audience and what attracts them the
most about my magazine.
My main cover star is a person within my target
audience age range, and with him being the main cover
star people of that age would know that this magazine
is aimed at people that age – this then makes it more
relatable, especially if ‘Indie/Rock’ was their favourite
genre of music.
3. CONTENTS PAGE
My contents page will attract my audience because of the content that is within my magazine. I have included many well known bands
in my magazine that go under the genre “Indie Rock”
The content that is within my “Feature” articles is
interviews with well known artists and exclusive
interviews with new band “White Eskimo”. As
this article is exclusive readers may want to read
it even more because it is only exclusive to this
magazine.
I have also included artist and album reviews and gig
reviews. I have done this because when I did my audience
research quite a few people said that they would prefer
reviews as main content, and that they would prefer to
read about them.
By having mail and letter from the editor, people would feel like
they were more involved with the magazine, as they are able to
write letters and subscribe- may be even more attracted. Also as
to subscribe it is quite cheap and able to read all of the details via
the smaller details underneath.
Within the news section there is articles on the best festivals and news
from previous festivals, people within my target age range (16-25)
they would be interested in reading about festivals during the
summer.
4. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
To attract my audience so that they would want to read my double page spread I have done a band which isn’t that well known
around Warrington but they have done a few gigs.
My interview is ‘Exclusive’ which means that this interview and article
is exclusive to this magazine, this may attract readers and members
of my target audience because it would want them to read it even
more.
When I had conducted my
questionnaires quite a few members
of my target audience would have
preferred to read interviews with
bands. So I had chosen to interview a
boy band from Cheshire. The music
which they do goes under the genre
Indie/Rock/Alternative music. And
the people in the band are fairly
young and fresh band.
I think that the main title is quite an eye
catching title as it is bold and in different
colours. How the ‘DESTROY’ is in red and the
rest of the font is white there Is contrast
between the dark background, and the white
and red font. Also as it is a quote from the
interview, this may entice the reader and
make them want to listen to this band after
reading on with the rest of the interview.
Because this interview is more about the
band rather than the people within it
although it has most of their personal
opinions.
