I believe the images in my magazine are iconic

images as the artist creates eye-contact with the

audience; the direct eye contact attracts the

reader. The way the model is dressed on my front cover

is a representation of how a typical rock star

would dress, in this case Bryan Adams. In this

case wearing a leather jacket as shown below.

My photographs represent a bass guitar theme. I

tried to make this theme clear through the images

by incorporating a bass guitar into all the images.

Also from my audience research all the answers I

received from my focus group supported the

inclusion of images related to a bass guitar. I

developed the image by adding a bass guitar

representing the bass guitar theme.

The textural content used in my magazine,

especially throughout my double page spread

represents a clear understanding of guitar terms

such as “frets” and musical terms such as “major,

minor, chromatic” etc, thus why my music

magazine is for guitar players.

I used bold, neat fonts so that the text would be

easy for the reader to read, especially on the front

cover so that the cover lines are eye catching and

lure the target audience.

I decided to use contrasting colours throughout my

magazine so that the main information stands out

and is clear to see and read. Also from my research,

my demographic preferred to have a consistent

colour scheme throughout the magazine, and so I

included this into the magazine.

The layout on my magazine is spaced out and not

cluttered because due to a wide age range target

group, an older audience could find a large block

of text difficult to read therefore considering that,

a spaced out layout is “easier to process

information”.
