This magazine targets teenagers aged 13-18 who enjoy country music. To attract this audience, the cover features a male country star around the target age wearing country-style clothes. Additional country artists are featured to broaden the appeal. Bold typography and a large "exclusive" story headline draw attention. Bright colors and contrast make the cover stand out on shelves. Inside, a double-page poster and thumbnail celebrity photos provide content teens will want to cut out and display. Consistent use of purple, black, and white creates visual cohesion throughout.

• Gender:
My magazine is aimed primarily at females
but could also target males that like the same
music and artists. The Cover star is a male
and looks like a cool country star, this will
make the male audience want to look like and
be like him and it will attract the female
audience as they will be attracted to the
celebrity.
• Age:
The target audience for my magazine is from
the age of 13-18. The cover star is within this
age range so the reader can relate to him.
• Genre:
The genre is 'Country' this is portrayed
through the cover stars clothes, where he is
and the guitar. It is also portrayed through the
other stars mentioned in the magazine and
through the stars' name.

5. • This attracts the reader as it suggests that this is THE magazine to buy as it is number one (the best magazine). It
suggests a uniqueness o the product and implies there is nothing else like it in the market. It draws the reader in as it
is at the top and it is big and bold.
• The word ‘exclusive’ attracts the buyer as it means this article about this star is only available in this magazine so
they will feel the need to buy it. Also the guitar attracts the buyer as it is something they like, therefore they will be
interested in the article.
• The price and the date attract the reader as it shows that they can only get it monthly and that the price is very cheap
for a monthly issue. The barcode also attracts the reader as it proves that it is ready to be bought and read.
• What the star is wearing attracts the buyer as he is wearing country style clothes and he is a teenager, therefore he
will attract the primary audience.

• Colour:
The white and black contrast each other and they
both stand out from the brown background, therefore
this cover will stand out above the rest on the shelf
and will attract the audience. Also the star is wearing
a bright coloured shirt which stands out, this
enhances the importance of this star and attracts the
audience even more.
• Extra Artists:
The extra artists along the side of the magazine
widens the audience because if they don’t like the
cover star, there is also the extra artists that may
attract them.
• Main Feature:
The main feature stands out as it is big, bold and
white which stands out against the black and brown.
The word ‘exclusive’ is written below it which
emphasises how important the main feature is.

7. • The colours of the title are the same as the colours on the front cover which creates a USP and keeps the
same style.
• This picture and short piece of text entices the reader to read the article, it also informs the reader that this is
the same article that is advertised on the front cover by saying ‘cover story’ and ‘exclusive’.
• This shows the more regular activities in the magazine, this attracts the people who constantly buy the
magazine and makes them want to carry on buying the magazine.

8. • This half of the double page spread attracts the audience, this is because teenagers often
love to put posters up of their favourite artists, therefore by making half of the double page
spread an image with the stars’ name, it attracts the primary audience as they can cut this
page out and stick it up on their wall. The purple writing at the bottom informs the reader who
took the photo.
• This thumbnail style of putting the images together, attracts the audience as they love to see
lots of images of their favourite celebrities.

9. • The colour scheme
throughout: Purple, Black
and White
• The purple keeps the
magazine looking quite
feminine which appeals to
the primary audience.
• The black and white
contrast each other and
highlight where the
important pieces of
information are.
