print research

Based on this cover magazine the layout of the text on the left hand side of the cover the layout of the tag lines/featured stories is really eye catching and feel that by implementing that in my work could be very effective.

The tag line of "secrets" is another aspect of this magazine that i believe will attract my audience as they may want to find out more.

The use of the header i feel is good way to attract my audience by saying "official" attracts people to the magazine as they feel that what they are reading is the inside information making my audience feel valued.

The idea of the competition is another aspect of the magazine that i will implement in to my work as i feel it is an effective way to attract the audience to my magazine and my program.

cast interview is another method that has been used in this magazine cover which i will also use in my magazine, my providing inside access to my audiences means that they feel more valued but can also want them to want to find out more information about my program.
