2. -The price on the cover is a key convention in which
would attract the audience due to the fact in my
questionnaire, the majority of people replied with
that they were willing to pay between £2-£3.
Furthermore, it is also clearly stated and visible for the
consumer to notice it and easily read it.
-I used a variety of coverlines within the cover. These
covered different aspects of music and gave away
different parts of information in which would entice
and attract the consumers. I did this by including the
most favourite and top number amount of songs
and artists currently which makes it up to date. In
addition I have included the words pop and chart in
a coverline to reinforce that the magazine is a
pop/chart music genre.

target audience as they are of a younger age so

addressed the audience as I’m telling them directly
from me to them a personal note about the magazine.

make them feel involved or part of this particular issue
of Diversity Magazine.
-I have kept it professional by continuing to use the
same colour scheme and house style of the front cover
making it constant to address and attract the
audience. This proves that the contents page is
specifically associated with this issues magazine cover.
This will attract the audience by making them able to
trust the magazine and the information inside.
-On this contents page I have included and presented
three subsidiary images as there isn’t a main one which
the audience will focus on. I made sure each image
was different with a different shot to make them have
variety and differences so that the audience will stay

same artist in which is situated on the front cover and
this is to maintain a consistency and show the audience

particular issue. I have made sure majority of my images
