My front page of my magazine had to include images because it was very important as most people look at the images before they buy a magazine so therefore it is eye catching and that how some decide whether or not they want the magazine. My front page had four images one taken by me and the other three taken of the internet which I cropped to make them the same size and have borders around them to make them look attractive and eye catching. The image that was taken by me was of a film ‘Sahara’ and that was the biggest image I had on my front page as it looked really attractive and I lined it up with the other images and put a border around it etc…the other three images that I have on my front page are of movies and actors in a movie because my magazine is based on movies and reviews. The target audience for my magazine will be 12-16 this is because many movies that are rated above 12 certificates have some swear words, sexual relationships and love.
The masthead of my magazine is ‘Movie Mag’, because just from looking at the masthead the reader gets a thought in his mind that the magazine will be about movies and the masthead attracts people quite quick because of the word I used ‘Movie’ and this magazine will have the latest, upcoming movies out and also lots of reviews.
My magazine has three cover lines and they are ‘’Sneak Peeks at the hero Antonio Banderas and reviews about the film’’, the second one was ‘’Interviews with Tobey Maguire, Directory Sam plus reviews’’ and the last one was ‘’Interview with Johnny Depp about Pirates of the Caribbean Two, how it was made, where the movie was made, different actors/actresses roles, review plus many more!’’, the cover lines tells the audience what things are going to be in the magazine so it is very important to get the best ones out from the magazine to put on the front page. My front page also has a pug and pus, the pug is ‘’Plus more movie reviews and over 100 free cinema tickets to be won!!!’ and the pus is ‘World’s premier movie magazine’ and it will also have a date, barcode and the price which will be £1.99 as most people can afford £1.99 as they will be buying a magazine that will look that is worth more than what they are buying and they know that it have exclusive interviews and movies… and find out which movie is the best which isn’t from reading the reviews because they wouldn’t want to spend money on some rubbish movie.
My contents page has eight images of movies with description and page no next to them this reflected what was inside the magazine so the customer can quickly go through the contents and find out what will be in the magazine.
My finished text appealed to audience aged 12-16 with images that would be suitable for 12-16 to see and the language that has been used. I could improve this by adding more information about what they will be buying and adding more pictures.
My magazine has attractive images and they are all laid out correctly on the front page and the colours are very attractive and the pug, the pus that I have used. I could improve this by adding more pugs and pusses and adding more colours.
