In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (front cover)

  • the eyeline of the artists in the dominant image makes the reader feel as if the artist is looking at them, this is important as it makes them feel a connection to the artist and want to buy the magazine. The fact that the artist is slightly slouched in pose also gives off a more welcoming look to the magazine as they look as though they are comfortable or of a more friendly image. This is more likely to attract a female audience as it makes the artist ,ore relatable to them.

  • My front cover does not immediately suggest a country genre, but the clothing worn by my artist is wearing is basic and easily suyggests a soul or folk theme.
  • The front cover of my magazine suggests a younger or more contemporary audience, with the suggested target audience being young adults of around mid twenties in age. The use of a female image on the front of the magazine might also suggest that it is more of a female orientated magazine, but it could also atrract males as they may be interested in the other artists mentioned on the front of the magazine.

  • I havent used any strap lines on my front cover but have used a pull qoute, this is unusual on a music magazine as they often attract the audience with images of their favourite artists and advertising competions and articles through pull quotes and bold lettering. I decided to use a pull quote as it makes my article different but also gives you a bit of initial information about the artist.
