Main Cover line

I feel like the main cover line on my final
product is more distinct and stand out as
a main cover line and therefore I have
learnt to isolate the main cover line as it
is more effective.
I learnt to apply strokes on aspects to
make them more established I did this
for my final product
It is situated in the left sector of the
magazine since the preliminary learnt
how the left column contains the
important features.
Barcode/ issue number/date

The price is higher on the real piece as I learnt

that conventionally magazines of this genre are
around that price
I determined the newest price by considering
the target audience in terms of age and class
which I didnt for the preliminary task.
They are both positioned in the same place I
understood why I did it last time so I replicated
this.

Lure
The lures differ whereby my
preliminary lure was a meal deal
voucher and my real product is a
poster.
I learnt that the are certain
appropriate lures depending on
genre and target audience
I Chose the voucher as it was a
college magazine for students and
meal deals relate to college
In comparison I chose posters for
my real one as it is a music
magazine theyre posters of artistsI learnt the target audience like

I made the skyline larger in

my real piece I learnt that
other magazines have
strapline more of this size.
In the first one I listed
things included in the
magazine but I learnt that
you should use them to see
certain articles

I realised by the time I did

my real product a slogan
isnt needed, as I couldnt
see it on real products.
Slogans are less likely on
magazines, which I didnt
know but now have learnt.

Cover Lines
I had more cover lines on my
preliminary task this
magazine type is more
informative so more cover lines
are displayed.
There are less cover lines on
the music magazine as you
want to only give a short
glimpse and make it more
entertaining than factual
The format of the cover lines
were more fluid in terms of
colour scheme and appearance
they look the same whereas in

Both the barcode are in dead sots

however the orientation of the prelim is
sideways , I learnt it is best and more
conventional to have it the right way
round.
I didnt include the date and issue
number on the front cover at this point I
failed to see its importance but by the
real task I learnt that it is essential to the
cover.

Main Image
Theyre both two-person shots one male and
female represented the same way as each
other. I learnt this is effective in attracting a
unisex audience and displaying the green of
the magazine.
I learnt the importance of costume and makeup
looking at the difference between my
magazines shades instead of glasses and
dark attire transformed the same model form
nerdy to cool- representing the genre.
They are both medium shots, I acknowledges
that from this shot you see the model clearly
enough and appreciate their costume and
makeup strengthened the genre portrayal
