5. How did you attract/address your audience?

The masthead is pretty much the main part of the magazine. It can tell you what kind of magazine it is and what is expected. Being bold and black helps it stand out and the graphics behind it also give it a more rough look so it relates to the target audience.
The main image is placed in front of the masthead to make it stand out more. All three models that I chose have a objective gaze which gives them a more 'rock star'/'rebel' attitude.
The main cover line 'Addicted' is big and bold to make it noticeable and easy to catch your eye.
The supporting cover line gives an indication of the story behind the cover line and if it is good enough it will make the reader what to read the rest.
The two pictures of the male and the female models at the bottom are other stories that are in the magazines and if people know the artists shown then they will be more tempted to buy the magazine.
At the top and bottom of the front cover are additional smaller stories that can be found inside.

Down the right hand side of the content page I put the main parts of the magazine and their page number, for example reviews, news and articles on artists. I also added links to the magazines Facebook and Twitter page along with subscription deals.
I used three images with texts to indicate the main stories in the magazine and also added a editors sideline. Some of the text that covers the images are in red to connect with the reds writing down the right hand column.

For the title of my double page spread I used 'Funked Up' (the masthead), then added a little caption below, 'lowdown'.  I added lowdown because it shows that it is revealing information about the subject.
Also I used a pull quote in the bottom right of the page which over laps two of the three images used.
Using individual pictures of the three models was a lot harder then using a image of all three in one. But I think it looks better with them all being individual.
All the text is placed in boxes to make them stand out more and also it looks neat which is going completely in the wrong direction with my magazine, but it looks right.
