Draft: - 1  

Pictures 1: These pictures will possibly show insights into the magazines articles and entice the reader to read on into my magazine.

Various cover lines: These show some featured articles in the magazine and generally have the same effect as what the pictures do. These are in a bold times new roman font to emphasise them and give them maximum appeal.

Headline:  It is at a canted angle to catch the reader’s eye. It does this by being so unconventional and unique. It is in a wide Latin font to catch the reader’s eye.

Background: I have put the background as yellow because it goes with the colour scheme used in my front cover and also has associations with my genre; grime.

Draft: - 2

Main picture: This picture is used to promote the main article, the picture would draw the reader’s eye and the bold text will also do the same.

Less important articles: These articles will be written in smaller font because they are less important, they are also put in the smaller box because they are not meant to be emphasised. These are in the times new roman font because they aren’t as important, but this font will still give them some advertisement, it could also help to emphasise my main articles.

Main important articles: These are written in the larger font because they are supposed to be emphasised, they are also placed in the larger box because I want them to attract the reader’s eye more. It is in a ‘stencil’ font because this is an impact font which would successfully advertise my main articles efficiently.

Information on subscribing to magazine: This is used to increase profits; this is placed in the dead area so it will be the last thing the reader sees and therefore they are more likely to remember it.  it is in a ‘Ravie’ font because it is a unique font and would catch the reader’s eye successfully, this is important because it is trying to get my readers to subscribe to my magazine which would ultimately increase readership.

Main headline: This is written horizontally down the page and separated into separate boxes and each box either has the colour yellow or black, this style of main headline is very unique and will help me in my aim to make it appeal to my specific target audience,. I have used the colours yellow and black because they both have associations with my genre and will therefore appeal to my target audience. The title is written in wide Latin because this font stands out on a page and this is the effect I am looking for with my headline.

Articles: These are written over a black background in white font to make them stand out on the page, they are also written in a stencil font because that font is quite bold and will emphasise them more.

Pictures: These are situated next to my article page numbers; they will help to introduce and advertise my articles well which will ultimately make them appeal more.

Main picture: This is at the bottom of the page and will help to introduce a special feature in my magazine on ‘Boy Better Know’. It is also situated in the terminal area which will give the effect of sticking in the readers more and therefore make it appeal more.

Cover line: This advertises the ‘Boy Better Know’ feature in the magazine, it is written in a times new roman font because I believe this stands out well over the ‘Boy Better Know’ picture.
