The masthead is one of the first things you look at when looking at a magazine, so clearly I had to make it stand out and attract my target audience. My masthead attracts my target audience as it is bright and modern, so they will automatically see it when looking at my magazine.
The photo I have used will attract the audience as fist of all it stands out from the white backgorund. Also the image is of a female model who looks around 17-18, so some of the audience may feel connected as they may be around the same age. They also may get attracted by what she is wearing as they may like it and want to know where it is from. As well as feel connected by the eye contact she is giving.
The cover line is attractive as it is bolder and brighter than others as it is red and the others are blue and black, also I have made it have a drop shadow so it stands out from all the other cover lines. I made it bigger so the audience can clearly see that it is the main coverline. The cover line is the name of the band which my artist used on the front cover is in. The audience will be attracted to this as they are a new band/artists so they will want to buy the magazine to find out more information about them.
The colours I have used will attract the audience as they are bright, primary modern colours which are quite eye catching, so will daw them to the magazine.
The cover line with "Win tickets to reading festival!" will be a very attractive to the target audience as they love festivals and music so will want the chance to be able to win a ticket and go with their friends.
The price being £1.99 is very attractive at a low price for such a high quality music magazine. It is not too exspensive or to cheap for anyone with in my target audience so they will be able to afford it.
The title of the contents page is in a similar style as my masthead on the cover this is attractive to the target audience as therte is a use of sinergy and they can clearly see which magazine this is.
The listing of the contents under the images will attract the audience as it is simple and a pretty minimal list with a line on each giving an insight of what the article is about.
The page numbers are big and bold and located next to article names so easy to see. This will attract my target audience as it allows them to easily and quickly flip to the page of the article they are interest in, instead of having to flick through the whole magazine searching for the artcle they want.
The simple colours will attract the audience on this contents page because I have used similar colours for this as I used for the cover and double page spread so they will see a clear link with one another. also the simple coloured background makes it easy to read the contents. Also the colours I have used in all of the pages can be associated with both males and females so this will also attract them.
The images used will also attract the target audience as first of all the main image is of the same model 'Raya-Leigh' which they have seen before so they will know who it is and also she looks very calm, young and relaxed looking directly at the camera so they will feel a connection and similarities beween them. Also the other featured images you see will attract the target audience as it is the logos of four main festivals and they will be interested in seeing what the line-ups are too them.
The image is very attractive to the target audience as it is a calm relaxing photo. also it a good quality close up so you can clearly see what the artist looks like, also the eye contact is very deep and emotionally engaging which will attract the readers/audience as they will feel connected and will be able to clearly see what she looks like as well as the image is visually stimulating.
The heading 'Raya-Leigh' is clear and bold with an white simple squared modern font so stands out in the red background aswell as the red against the white background. This will attract the target audience as it will be the first thing they see.
The flower head band used will attract the audience as it relates to festival fashion as it is what you seem most people wearing at festivals and girls may want to get one similar if they are going to a festival or just like it.
The article is broken in to two main parahgraphs which will attract the readers as it is not too much to read so they wont feel strained when reading it and there is not to many words so its easy to read. i have also included a featured article about popular indie bands and their new albums this will definatley attract the audience as they will most probably listen to their songs so will therefore want to read about them and their new albums.
