FINAL FRONT COVER

In the final part of my front cover construction I added a number of sell lines and decided which three colours I would use throughout the magazine.
The final choice consisted of fuchsia, hot blue and bright orange. The reason for using these colours was because they were all bright and eye catching and so readers would be drawn to the magazine. These colours are mainly associated with younger people as they are vivid; older people are drawn to softer, more subtle colours. Knowing this, the colours I used are a good choice as I was sure the target audience I was aiming my magazine to would be able to relate to the magazine through the use of colours.
The sell lines on the front cover also were suited to the 12-17 age group. The reference to Underage Festival was a deliberate choice as teens under 18 would be the age group that would go to this event. The mode of address is rather informal, stark and simple to understand. The clarity makes it much easier for readers to relate to.
I chose an interview with Miley Cyrus because this is the type of artists the magazine will be focusing on. Similarly, by having the Spice Girls, the magazine automatically attracts a specific age group.
The final front cover, is very strong. The use of the plot of Lulu leaning forward, looking directly at the camera makes it feel as though she is looking at us and wants us to be included in what she is saying. The front cover gives off a range of key message- fun, sexy, girly and fresh! It is a very different magazine, offering a range of different ideas in one place.
