FIRST DRAFT : Contents 1

PRODUCTION : Draft covers

My first cover includes an interrextual reference to to new film, Charlie’s Angels. I have reflected the style of their brand by having my models dress in all black much like the new movie poster, using the Charlie’s Angels logo and by having them pose with direct mode of address and the iconic gun finger pose. I have kept this cover very minimal, to reflect a movie poster style, and have branded this cover as a special edition. I have also included a competition advertised on my cover “Win tickets to the premiere” a marketing tactic encouraging people to read my magazine. This may also appeal to my young fun loving target audience, who would be interested in going to the premiere with their friends. 

My second cover mentions the superhero ‘Spider-Man’ a recognisable character. This cover includes a male actor as well as the mention of Spider-Man therefore inclusive of the mass market audience, with my first cover more aimed towards women, whereas this one may have greater appeal to men.

My magazine has a recognisable house style with the unique masthead in an interesting and fun font as well as the exclusive bubbles (however I need to fix the fonts on these) , in contrast with the high production value images. I wanted to create an entertainment magazine that was less tacky that generic conventions , and I felt as though my young audience who are fun loving would appreciated aesthetically pleasing images relating to actors/ actresses who they may be interested in.

I will conduct some audience research on my covers and see if my audience thinks anything needs to be changed.
