Front Cover Analysis

Final Product

I decided to keep the masthead that I originally planned to use as I came up with no other ideas that would appeal more to the teenage girl audience. In addition it was voted most popular on the survey and during discussion amongst peers.

EXCLUSIVE

I kept the original plans for the text I was going to use on the front cover as I believe it will attract the target audience I am looking for and stands out from the central image. It is important to do this as I want it to put across the image that it is a girly magazine yet with a mature theme due to the pastel colours I chose to use. I used ‘Exclusive’ in a bit of a brighter colour as I want it to stand out from the other text and the readers believe they are getting something out of the magazine that they won’t get from anywhere else.

In the original plan I was going to have a few graphic images on the front cover, however, I chose not too as I didn’t want it to take anything away from the central image showing a happy girl in sweet clothing promoting happiness and the fact you can do anything you set yourself out to do.

In my opinion I believe that the central image is one of the most important parts of the front cover and am proud with the outcome. I would want my readers to feel like they can be like this whenever they want to. As well as this it also shows this is a teenage girl magazine and fits in well with the target audience. I didn’t do any editing to the shot except to crop it as I wanted it to keep a natural look.
