1. How did you attract/address
your audience?
Zareen Malik
2. Front Cover
Image: most people would find the cover girl pretty and
cute, or would like her unique image and style and would
aspire to have a unique style like her. The direct eye
contact make the image look more powerful with her
expression and allows it to stand out and be more
memorable and remarkable.
Masthead: is very bold and bright – stands out to the
audience. It’s block and sans serif and is of a big size. It is
shadowed by a white replica of the text to place more
emphasis on it allowing it be much more eye catching
Colours: I have stuck to a basic colour scheme of black and
white to make the magazine look more professional and
striking while these colours always seem to work well with
this genre.
I used these colours because the artist is also wearing
black so the colours work really well together and in this
case clashing the white on top of the black is very effective
Coverline: simple and attracts the reader by it being about
The Beatles who are legends in the industry and whom
fans revere
Footer: this attracts attention because it’s clear and bold
and tells the reader of some of the various features within
the magazine that interests them such as information
about upcoming concerts and festivals.
3. Contents Page
Images: these can be used to attract a male audience
because they are all very pretty, and also breaks the
stereotype of an indie genre dominated by male artists
The image of Steph sat on the floor is effective because it’s
different to the other photos and is used to make her seem
cute, shy and unique
Numbers: are in red and stand out against the rest of the
text and is used effectively to catch the eye of the reader,
making it easier for them to find the features they are
looking for
Text: this is descriptive of the contents of the magazine
and is informative to the reader. Also it is organised into
sections to give it more structure and this helps to attract
the reader because it’s easier to read and they can easily
find the information they are looking for and locate it
wherever it is in the magazine
Editors message: this is an extra piece which in insightful
and can also be used to inform the reader of what can be
expected in the magazine. It also provides some
personality and character to the whole mood by providing
the narrative voice of the editor
4. Double page spread
Image: Like the front cover image will
appeal to the audience because she is
very pretty and cute and some girls
may want to be like her and have her
style and individuality. The straight
expression and looking straight into
the camera is used to create a much
more striking effect.
Headline and subheading: this is used
to attract the audience by standing out
and immediately catches their
attention by including an interesting
pull quote from the text giving them a
little bit of information about her
character
Layout: this helps to attract the reader
because it’s structured well and easy
to read, everything is simple but
effective and not crowded.
‘Exclusive’ banner: this is used to attract the audience in that it highlights the exclusivity of the interview which
assures the reader that everything is original and exclusive to this magazine which is another way to promote the
magazine.
Text: this attracts the reader in that it tells the reader more about the artist and a few little bits and pieces about her
as a person and some things the audience may not have known before which is good because they always like finding
out new things and some of the gossip in there aswell.
