I have tried to vary the methods that I have employed to attract my audience to my magazine. The majority of these methods are features of the Front cover, for example masthead, coverlines etc.
I tried to not only use graphological features to establish a bond between the magazine and the audience, but to also use the content of coverlines and other promtional texts to ensnare the readers interest.
The graphological features throughout my magazine are mainly designed to capture a readers eye, especially the colour scheme. The colours of the text on the contents page stand out from the plain background. Rather than blues and greys I used oranges and reds to create a fiery contrast.
The text used on the contents page, apart from the banner, is designed with similarities to the models clothing. I was trying to create a feeling of symmetry within the page. For instance, the smallest lettering is the same colour as the models shirt.
Actual text contentis mainly used in the front cover and contents pages. The coverlines are simply statements about what is inside, with an authoritative tone. The same is used for the short page summaries employed in the contents.
I could not use these same techniques, or identify with the audience through the use of personal pronouns and direct mode of adress in my double page spread article as it was an interview rather than a review, and what was said was dependant on the interviewee.
