- 2. The front coverphoto consists of models who are around the age of 18-25 year olds, this allows my target audience to connect with as they can relate and associate themselves with their fashion and their image. They are wearing on trend clothing and are styled the way my target audience would view themselves. The masthead features a bright red, a colour that is eye catching and draws my reader in, it is attractive and the BEAT stands out the most from my cover. My cover story is based on ‘Girls on the Edge’, this is young, modern girl band who my target audience would be likely to listen to. They are young and my audience would associate themselves with them because of their story of being young singers who have achieved, I have used relatable and familiar language, e.g. slang, in order to engage my reader. The ‘puffs’ I have included on the edge of the front cover have all been related to music, carrying on the genre and are all artists that my target audience would be attracted to, this therefore makes them more attracted to the magazine as they are not only interested in the features girl band, but would also be interested in what is included throughout the content of the magazine.

I have chosen stories relating to the target audience and what they would be interested in, again drawing more of their attention to my product, making them want to purchase it.

There is a strong layout to my contents page, allowing the reader to flow around the page in a ordered way without getting them confused or distracted. The fonts I have used are clear and easy to read and I have continued with the house theme of red, white and black, making my magazine feel professional and modern. The review section adds a little more to my magazine that other products may not have, it included more specific information on music that they would be interested in. it is something that attracts and intrigues my target audience.

- 4. Double page spreadHere Ihave created an informal, relaxed interview which allows the reader to engage well with all four members of the band. It is has a very traditional layout with is very informative and simple with the two colours and the main picture of the right. The added puff on the left column also draws your attention to the interview straight away which then makes the reader want to read on. I have attempted to create a polaroid effect on the bottom image which would attract my audience because it is something they may be familiar with and gives the page a more modern and young feel to it. The picture features the band all relaxed and informal. The clothing they are wearing is very informal yet modern and on trend, allowing my audience to be more attracted to them as their image is appealing to them. I used a full length image to show that there are different archetypes in the band and to use the page space wisely.
