1. The colour used was red for the masthead this makes it
stand out as it’s a bold colour, it has a black outline and
is in capitals, the z in ‘JHEEZ’ is bigger to enhance the z.
At the bottom of the magazine I used a competition to
attract the audience as if the audience knows that ‘two
VIP tickets’ are on offer they are more likely to buy this
product.
Having a main cover line that says it has an ‘exclusive on
Chris and Rihanna’ also attracts my core audience as
they are teenagers and as both Chris and Rihanna are
highly recognised by this core audience it’s a great way
to draw more customers. Also the cover lines are informal
‘watch out’ this suitable for this audience and formal
language may put of customers.
The price of my media product is within budget at only
£1.50 its price is quite low compared to other magazines,
as it is a new magazine I didn’t want to price it too high
as this would decrease the sales of the magazine but
once ‘JHEEZ’ has its customers the price can always
increase.
2. My contents page would attract an audience
because the images used are a range of different
artists in different settings and it gives a flavour of what
would be inside the magazine, the image on the
bottom right is at a low angle looking up at the artists
showing him being more superior, the image on the
bottom left his right arm is up resting on the top of the
door and his left hand is in his pocket showing status
and the image at the top is giving direct contact with
his body filling most of the image showing a different
variety of images.
The colours used again are bold contrasting against
the black background it also follows the colour
scheme and the colours are not bright which could
put of customers and it doesn’t show a professional
look.
On the strip of what is featured in the magazine the
word ‘competitions’ is highlighted this engages the
audience to read more.
Here my image attracts the audience
as it’s bold and the colours are bright
also the background has graffiti which
enhances the picture.
The article has questions that want to
be answered by fans, the questions
and answers are split with the colour
change of black and red the colour
red fits in with the colour scheme and
also brightens up the article to make it
interesting however I never used lots of
bright colours like oranges and yellows
as this would make it harder for the
reader to understand the text. I also
added a caption to reflect what these
artists have achieved, this enable the
reader to quickly distinguish who the
artists are which will more likely make
the reader want to read the article.
