It also adds interest to the page, avoiding white space which could be seen as boring. The bold effects and coloured typography also makes it noticeable as well as the use of block capitals.

My cover lines, are clearly separable, buy the varying use of black and red, which avoids confusion. Furthermore the colour scheme encourages consistency and interest, which is necessary to my magazine’s success.

The barcode is clearly shown however does not disturb my main image or cover lines. It also has the issue month/ date and price written above which is informative to the consumer.

MAIN IMAGE

Props:The use of the violin is specific to the interests of my target audience and clearly demonstrates the genre of music magazine I

am portraying.

Costume code:The dress Rebekah is wearing is elegant and sophisticated, which again fits within my classical music genre. It is stereotypical of the clothing expected from a classical musician, which makes my magazine conform to the genre. Her hair is out and curled in a feminine style and her make-up is not overpowering but has elegance, all aiding the sophisticated nature of my magazine and making it appeal to the target audience, due to its stereotypical classic persona. Ina addition her clothing and feminine hairstyle could argue that it introduces the Male Gaze theory (Laura Mulvey) which would attract ,male students too.

The high key lighting in the image attracts the younger target audience, as it is fun, energetic and modern compared to the dull stereotype of old fashioned classical music. It will therefore appeal greatly to my target audience, and entice them to buy my magazine.

The violin was tied to the ceiling with fishing rod and a magnet. This was to give the elusion that the violin was floating and therefore links with the pull quote ‘Rebekah Hooper puts the MAGIC back into music.

The title clearly demonstrates that it is a contents page, aiding the reader in finding the desired pages. Furthermore it fits within my specific colour scheme, showing consistency. The shadowed effect of typography is ideal in getting the attention of the audience. Furthermore the italic fount used on the name Capriccio’ not only highlights product identify, but also conforms to the classical genre.

This image is very good for my theme because it not only includes a costume code of which is stereotypical and conforms to the classical music genre of my magazine, but the props used such as the violin are also very obvious factors that emphasise the classical music genre of my magazine,. This will therefore entice a target audience of whom are interested in the classical music genre, because they will want to read a magazine that includes articles about Their interests. In addition the image relates to the main story for the particular edition, making it clear to the audience that this story is the main story, and also it allows the audience to make the link between ‘Rebekah Hooper’ and the main article.

The light background, and high key li8ghing on the image, makes the magazine appear positive and pure, which fits within the classical innocence stereotype, as classical music is very serene and pure. This therefore emphasises the genre and in turn will attract my particular target audience. It also acts as a natural background of which text can be put on to off, and clearly seen due to the lack of colour in the background this enables the reader to clearly understand/see the text.

The clear categories, show the page numbers and divide different points/articles. This makes it very easy for the reader to navigate a particular page of which They desire. In addition the colour scheme helps aid distinction between headings and information about particular articles, as well as aiding consistency throughout the magazine. The fact that the text spans only half the page, prevents it from looking too daunting, so my audience are more likely to read and engage with it. The chronological order also avoids reader’s confusion. The main image of the close up violin, also somewhat over shadows the text emphasising the musical importance of the magazine which will hopefully entice my musical target audience.

The heading is in a different colour to the main article which allows the reader to distinguish this as the masthead. In addition the colour’s used fit within the constant colour scheme, emphasising consistency. The italic font used to demonstrate ‘Rebekah Hooper’ attracts the target audience, who would presumably know her as a professional musician and could therefore attract the particular target audience. Because of the different interesting, italic text, the reader will be drawn to it, and then see Rebekah’s name and are more likely to read the article. This increases the success of the magazine and could be seen as celebrity endorsement.

The main image is a medium close up which therefore places emphasis om Rebekah's facial code, which is smiling and happy. This attracts a more modern younger target audience as this facial code is not always associated with classical music. It furthermore fits within the lifestyle of students of whom are at a stage of life in which they enjoy activities that make them happy and demonstrate youthfulness. Furthermore the way in which she holds the prop, is comical which again adds a more modern twist on the stereotypical strict, structured nature of classical music, and so attracts my slightly unique younger target audience, it also contradicts the heading, of which is serious and so makes my audience inquisitive and encourages them to read my article, which in turn increases the success of my magazine. I have emphasised high key lighting which gives off a positive vibe and attracts my target audience, as it also makes the text easier to see, and makes the whole article look less daunting encouraging people to read it. The image spans half of the double page spread, which re- Enforces the importance of the violin prop, and so conforms to my genre of music. It also limits the amount of text which makes my audience feel less daunted and likely to read it.

The text used only spans half the double page which makes it appear less daunting and therefore prevents my audience from avoiding reading it because of the length. It also increases the amount of room available for my image which adds interest and too will make my audience more encouraged to read the article. The lighter background also means that the text is bolder and easier to see which prevents the audience struggling to read it and so encourages more readers. In addition I varied the typography colour, although within my colour scheme, swapping from black to pink, which adds interest and stops the formality of the article, slightly subverting to the stereotypical presentation of articles, but also makes it tend out in front of my light background. I have also used pictures within my text which breaks up the continued text, adding interesting and again making the article appear less daunting. I have also included highlighted quotes taken from the text. This attracts my target audience, as they are quotes picked out to spark the attention of my target audience and persuade them to read it. It also breaks up the text, making it less daunting. The colour scheme is continued throughout the page and adds consistency.

I have included page numbers and a small info box linking to the article, This ensures the specific article is easy to find and conforms to the typical conventions of magazines. It also avoids confusion and again makes my magazine appear organised and of a formal well structured nature, which some what fits in with the structured theme linked with classical music.
