Front cover• Masthead-‘BEAT’ in the top left hand corner of the page, this attracts the audience because it is reading in a ‘Z’ formation, this catches the audiences eye and makes them want to pick up and read the magazine, I have made it big, bold and bright to again attract the readers eye and make them pick the magazine up, this enables me to appeal to my target audience of 15-25 year old women.• Key image-the image on my front cover is of a famous female artist in the music industry, this automatically attracts the target audience because they are interested in the artist on the front, especially because my magazine is targeted at women, this artist is like a ‘idol’ and ‘inspiration’. I have chosen to use a mid shot image because it is effective and gives direct eye contact with the audience, this can make it feel more personal and create a better tone, this is a main part of the selling point of my magazine and attracting my audience because it is a artist that is well known.• Information bars-these extra information bars add to the effectiveness and attractiveness of the magazine, my audience will be interested in this because when it is sitting on the shelf you can just see the to information bar, therefore this is why I have put the most important information on there ‘’THE BIGGEST WOMEN’S MUSIC MAGAZINE OF 2011’’ by doing this it makes the audience believe that my magazine is the most important and ‘’best’’ magazine of the year, this undoubtedly will make the audience want to buy my magazine. • Sell line-the sell line will help to attract my audience further because I have used a personal pronoun, ‘your’ this makes the audience feel important and feel like I am directing the statement at them, this therefore leads them to believe that it is the best magazine out there for them, and that I am appealing it to them personally.

Contents• Key image-my key image on this contents attracts my audience because the audience can see who the main feature artist is within the magazine, it allows them to get a feel for the genre of the magazine and if they want to read on. • Editor-the editor box in the magazine allows the audience to get an understanding of the man/women who designs the magazine, this will enable the audience of my magazine to feel involved and close to the person who chooses the ethos of the magazine.• Grid formation-using a grid formation on my contents page is good because it allows the audience to easily navigate themselves around the page to find the desired information they require. This attracts my audience because the magazine is very easy to read and allows them to quickly get the information they want, they can just pinpoint the information, ultimately this will make the audience want to buy the magazine.• Page numbers anchoring the pictures-this allows the audience to connect the contents of the magazine to the pictures and have an understanding for what picture is linked with what information, this allows them to see what they will be reading, and from the picture gain an opinion just by the picture, therefore this will help them to understand if they want to buy the magazine.
