Planning Main Product - Final Page Layouts

 

I have chosen to place the main picture in the centre of the page with the model wearing casual well know branded clothes because the target audience will then see this picture straight away, see what the model is wearing and this will then appeal to them. Also the colours which I have used throughout the contents page are colours which are associated with the genre of rap. This will also stand out to the target audience because of them liking the presentation of the page. Another thing which I have laid out purposely on the cover is the size of fonts in different places. For example the more important words I have used a bigger font so it stands out to the audience and the storyline will then catch their eye.

 

 

I have chosen to use only one image on my contents page so the audience are drawn to it. I have made it big so it also stands out on the page and therefore will appeal to my target audience due to the model being young and wearing modern clothing. I decided to have a conventional placement of the 'Contents' title so that the audience will see it easily and will therefore know that it is the contents page. I have laid my features list out in a simple format so that it is easy to read which will make it easier for the audience to find their way around the magazine.

I have chosen to lay out all text around the background pictures. This is so the pictures will jump out at the audience when they are reading through the magazine and therefore will make them stop and want to read the article. Also i have put the pictures (from left to right) in order to represent 'Cleaver' coming out of a dark place into light which is represented by the camera effects. I have also chosen to place the headline 'MUSIC IS LIFE' in big bold font at the top of the page. This is so the audience will see this headline and relate this to what the article will be about therefore making them want to carry on reading.
