The competition will hopefully grab a lot of attention as the prize is a new Dre beats headphones. As teenagers now have the need to have new tech’s, this could be a great way to attract them to buy the magazine.

The 3D effect used for the main image will attract a lot of people as it is something they have not seen before. I have challenged the convention of having a normal picture with a 3D effect picture as I feel young people will be fascinated by the effect. Recently there has been a big buzz about 3D after the film avatar, there was also a 3D music video made. By having this effect I will be able to gain a wider range of readers not just hip hop fans.

The magazine also contains other articles which feature well known celebrities. This will attract the readers as they want to know the latest news about these celebrities. Having well known celebrities will mean readers will have there money’s worth as they may still be unsure to buy this new magazine.

The big bold title will attract the audience as it is eye catchy and grabs the readers attention immediately when they first see it. The font of the title I used was inspired by old computer games and comic books. This is associated with geek’s and nerd’s therefore I felt it fit well with the concept of geek.

Most magazine I have analyzed are priced at 4/5 pounds, however as my magazine is new I will have to lower the price in order to get more readers. This will attract my audience as they will be reading articles about well known celebrities with low cost.

The Blue and red colour scheme used for the 3D effect can attract a wider range of audience as fans from other genres could also like the effect and think its cool.
