Assignment 1- Cover


The target audience for my magazine varies from mixed gender teens, up to young adults to the age of 26, I have chosen this age range because the magazine includes articles about the latest music and includes various genre types that this target audience would appeal to or be interested in. FLUX is aimed at ‘The Mainstream’ (young & Rubicams 4Cs model)  also it is in the E category in the Demographics.

I have chosen a bright colour pallet to attract the target audience, making sure that the Masthead and sub title are the brightest colour, this draws in the target audience to look at the magazine and catch their eye on a magazine rack.
I have used names of popular artists on the cover to tempt the target audience to pick up the magazine and buy it.

The image is the main piece on the magazine; the shot type is a medium close up. It take up most of the room on the cover, this implies that it is the most important thing on the cover. The model is looking into the camera which establishes a direct connection between the model and reader.
