2. How did you attract/address your audience?

My audience would be attracted by the front cover of my magazine. The masthead in white letters stands out amongst the black background. The use of a black background allows me to use white text, so that it stands out from the page making it more eye catching to the reader as opposed to using a white background and black letters. The colour scheme of black white and blue was inspired by an issue of Uncut magazine, I believe the white and blue really stand out against the black background. The cover picture is the first thing the audience will look at when they pick up the magazine; I layered the models head over the masthead to convey an almost 3D effect. I also chose to put the picture in black and white as apposed to colour otherwise it would not have fitted in with the rest of the colour scheme. I chose to include names of bands that would be featured in the magazine as a way of grabbing the reader’s interest, making them want to read on.
