1. How my magazine appeals to my
target audience.
Thomas Erbe

2. Colours
Colours on front cover.
On the front cover I have used white
and a light blue colour. I decided to
chose these colours because they are
bright and can be easy to read on
dark backgrounds.
I also chose these colours because
the target audience wanted bright
glowing colours. The light blue colour
is bright and can easily have a glow
added to it without it looking out of
place.

3. Colours on contents page
I decided to take the same colours
from the front cover and apply them
to the contents page. I decided to do
this because it helps keep the house
style throughout the magazine and it
also ensures that each page matches
in style to each other.
For the images I decided to make the
background bright, I did this because
it allowed for the images to be
noticeable and stand out from the rest
of the page. This also allowed the
contents page to have more colour.

4. Colours on double page
On the double page I also used the
light blue and the white from the front
and contents pages. The blue is used
for the questions and the white I have
used for the background.
On the double page I also used black
and a dark grey. The black colour was
used for the category name at the top
of the page and for the article
heading. The dark grey colour was
used for the body content.
I decided to use these colours
because it gives a clean look and feel
to the page and also makes the
content easy to read because there
isn’t an bright colours.

5. Fonts
Fonts used on front page.
On my front cover I have used 4 fonts
in total; Arial, Droid Sans, Time
Burner and New Athletic M54. I used
Arial for the white text below the
cover lines. I used Droid Sans for the
heading of the cover lines. Time
Burner was used for the Dance.Net
logo and Athletic M54 was used for
the cover story heading.
I decided to use these fonts because
they are clean and easy to read. I
also used these fonts because it is
conventional for the genre.

6. Fonts used on contents page.
On the contents page I have used 2
main fonts; Athletic M54 and Arial. I
decided to use these fonts because
they are easy to read. I used Arial for
the main contents page content and
then Athletic M54 for the page
heading at the top of the page.

7. Fonts used on the double page
On the double page I have used 3
fonts; Impact, Arial and Athletic M54.
Impact was used for the category
name, I decided to use this font
because it has a blocky and bold
style which makes it easy to read. I
used Arial for the body content and
the questions. Athletic M54 was used
for the article heading.
I decided to use these fonts because
they are easy to read and are easy on
the eye.

8. Content & Layout
Content & Layout on the front
page.
Because my magazine would appeal
to audiences who enjoy the dance
genre the content I used on the front
cover is related to that genre.
Also, because my audience is around
the teenage and young adult age
range the front cover has a simple
design and is organised.

9. Content & Layout on the contents
page.
On the contents page I also used an
organised layout. The design is
simple and uses the colours from the
front page.
At the bottom of the contents page I
added social links as my target
audience would be quite social. I also
included a QR Code for each type as
they can then easily use their phone
to scan the QR Code and then be
taken to the Facebook page or Twitter
profile.

10. Content & Layout on the double
page.
On the double page I separated the
content into columns as this is
conventional for a music magazine.
Because the article is an interview the
content is mainly questions and
answers.

11. Images
Images on the front page.
On the front page I only used one
image, which is a large image of the
cover artist. I decided to do this
because it helps with keeping the
layout clean and organised because
there isn’t 3 or more images scattered
around the page.
The image appeals to the target
audience because the person is
wearing smart/casual clothes which is
indicated by the collar. He also has a
serious face looking to the side of the
camera.

12. Images on the contents page.
On the contents page I have used two
bright images. This is so that if you
saw the page from the corner of your
eye you would be drawn in by the two
different colours. These images would
appeal to the target audience
because the people in them are
wearing casual clothing and have
casual expressions.

13. Images on the double page.
On the double page I have used two
images. One of them is from the front
cover. I decided to use the same
image because I thought it was
effective and it would help people
know that this article is related to the
front cover.
The second image I decided to have
the person standing with their arms
crossed. I took the picture so you
could see most of them. I then
changed the background and made it
have the letter A to represent the first
letter of their name.
