How did you attract/address your audience?

The masthead is in a similar place to most magazines, but the font I've used bold capital lettering so it makes it seem as though the title is being shouted, which emphasises the title name.

The photograph I have used as the main image reflects off my audience as you can see by the brightly coloured hair and the clothing which be considered un-feminine. The name of the band hints the area of music that is featured in the magazine.

I have used a pull quote on the cover because I think that giving the audience a taster of what's inside the magazine influences their choice to buy the magazine.

The other two photographs give the audience a better idea of the other artists which are featured in the magazine, showing that there is a variety of punk/rock artists instead of just bands or just male artists.

The other main selling point of the cover is the sell line found at the bottom of the page, my audience are very influential and musically talented, most of them will probably be in their own band so this particular sell line capture quite a bit of interest. The language used is friendly and encouraging, and I have used and exclamation mark to add excitement.

Like most other magazines I have included an editors note as a kind of brief about what's new in this issue and who's being shown the the main article.

The main image links back to the front cover, their 'look' provides some insight of what kind of genre music they play. The smaller image which is in the top right hand corner continues the genre of the magazine, the black paint dripping gives it a sloppy, grungy feel.

I have made sure to include lots of different band names to keep my audience's interest, I used various subheadings such as feedback because then the audience will feel appriciated if something they have written or drawn is shown in the magazine.

I continued the same font from the front cover because I helps the magazine to keep some kind of identity. The pull quote shows that the band is 'real' and care about their fans and want to perform.

The photographs feature the band members and then there is a personal touch as they have given the magazine two of their own personal pictures of the social life to be shared, which insinuates that there is some form of trust and that the band want to be seen as real people.
