Music Magazine
Front cover mood board
Female stars appear to be wearing less,
perhaps highlighting that the majority of
music magazine readers of these titles
are male. Name of artist always in big,
bold letters. Nowhere near as much
information on the front covers. Bright
colours but much less use of pink, more
primary colours and black used. Price is
less apparent than other magazines and
no competitions or freebies drawing the
reader in. Perhaps because most
current music magazines are aimed at
serious music fans.
Target reader profile
Front cover mood board
Lots of bright colours, especially
shades of pink. Glamorous head
or body shots of celebrity.
Dramatization of events with
punchy taglines. ‘Exclusive’,
‘secret’, all promising something
no other magazine can give you.
Use of yellow to highlight price or
freebies or to draw the eye to main
story. Focus on budget friendly
fashion finds.
