Cover:
Masthead; This will attract audiences as it is positioned at the top of the magazine making it visible from a shelf. I used a large bold font in block capitals which would make it hard for audiences to miss and therefore attracts them to the magazine.
Cover Lines; The main cover line attracts audience as it is large and bold which makes the cover stand out. Other cover lines stand out well from the background and they appeal to my target audience. For example the 'Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds' cover line attracts the audience as i have targeted my magazine to younger people who enjoy music festivals.
Main image; The model i used on my cover have the same style as my target audience. This makes the magazine appeal to them as they can read about people similar to them in a way.
Contents Page:
Bands/artist featured; The bands that are featured are popular with my target audience and this will make them want to read further.
Main Image; The image is of the same person used on the cover but has a change off background and colour included. Also that it's a large image shows it's importance over the other features of the magazine which makes readers interested to read further in to this.
Double Page Spread:
Main Image; The image takes up the entire left page and shows the model in a different environment. The model is seating down and looking directly at the readers which appeals to the audience.
Pull quote; I only used one pull quote which is on the left page above the model. Pull quotes attract the audience to read further as they show a glimpse of information that is included in the main article.
Headline; 'Jake Levigne' is large and bold and spreads across the right page and becuase of the size attracts the audience to read further.
You are right in what you say BUT need to expand on these points and be specific. How do you know your audience like these things? Think about in your research and planning and how you have SPECIFICALLY targeted your readers. Ie Beat magazIne - connotations of the name? font type? Colour palette and why? Price and why this is suitable?
